Who dares to call the movie ‘Iron Eagle’ a turkey? It’s full of ’80s music glory, some fun roles and lots of cheesy explosions. In other words, it could be the perfect ’80s movie.

We return to our “Close But No Cigar” series of songs that made it to No. 2 on the charts – but no further. This week’s show includes tunes by the Bangles, Pet Shop Boys and more. Special guest host Chuck Coverly returns!

Those dreaded TV ad jingles! What’s the story behind them? Today we look at spots by Kellogg’s, Diet Coke, the Army and Nestles in part 3 of our commercial earworm series. 

Remember the radio in 1986? Nonstop tunes from Lionel Richie, Pet Shop Boys, Dream Academy and Bananarama. But were those the “best” songs from those bands that year? This week’s episode changes up the songs we loved from that beloved year.

If you love ’80s sci-fi, don’t miss this chat with “In Search of Tomorrow” director David Weiner. We talk about his new documentary film, our love of “Dune” and “Star Wars” toys and so much more.

Brad and Steve are alive! They return with a newish episode. Sure, it’s an old interview, but the comedy before and after is all original.
