  • Summary

  • 1980s Now is a weekly examination of the importance of 80s pop culture and its continued influence today. We demonstrate that nostalgia alone doesn’t account for the contemporary fascination with our favorite decade. Instead, we share personal experiences and interview experts--including icons from 80s music, movies and TV--to demonstrate the “era of greed” bore the greatest moments in movies, music, television and sports. The show is equally entertaining and informative. (80s is aka '80s.)

It was his appearance in that movie that helped him land his starring role in “The Last Starfighter,” one of our all-time favorite films. Released July 13, 1984, that film turns 40 this month.

Tom Higgenson

This podcast is great! Loved hearing all of Tom Higgenson's memories from his childhood, like his sports superstitions. They also talk about his new solo career, Million Miler, with an 80s synth pop vibe. He's also started his own record label, Humans were here.
