#32 - The Ultimate 80's Summer Movies

If you were a child of the 1980’s then there are just some things you’ll never forget about those lazy days of Summer. Short shorts. Tube socks. Neon colored friendship bracelets. Oakley sunglasses that you either had or wished you had. Walking around with your Sony walkman or boom box with your best cassette mixed tape with all the new pop hits you recorded off of the radio. Songs from artists like Prince, Michael Jackson, Hall & Oats, Cyndi Lauper, Kenny Loggins, Chicago, Pat Benetar, Def Leppard and Madonna, just to name a few. But nothing says Summer in the 80’s to me like Summer Movies. You’ve got blockbusters and cult classics like Back to the Future, Big Trouble in Little China, Top Gun, Major League, The Empire Strikes Back, Predator, and Summer School. But what 80’s movie is the epitome of Summer to you? That’s the question I posed to some of my previous co-hosts recently, so put on a gnarly pair of shades, break out your Magnum PI-style Hawaiian shirt, and crank up the AC, as Tim Williams and his panel of guest co-hosts, Ron West, Jeff Atkins, Charlie Cotter, and Laramy Wells share their ultimate 80’s Summer Movies on this very special episode of the 80’s Flick Flashback!
