Do you love big hair and shoulder pads? Or is flannel and ripped jeans more your style?

In this episode we pit our two favorite decades against each other in four categories- Audio, Visual, Playable, and Overall. Who will you root for?

There can only be one!

NOTE: Thanks to Steve Spears of the Stuck in the ’80s podcast.

John Hughes RIP

 

As Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is one of my favorite movies, it makes me sad to hear that writer/director John Hughes passed away today at the age of 59. Hughes is well-known for a slew of ’80s movies, including The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, and Weird Science.

I guess this means we’ll never get Ferris Bueller 2…
