Ep09 - Zapped!
October 18, 2020 19:47 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBWhat a pervy movie! So many boobs. Anyway, Scott Baio gets superpowers and does nothing good with them.

EP06 - Dream a Little Dream
September 13, 2020 18:00 - 54 minutes - 35.1 MBA movie about teenage rebellion where we seem to like the old people better than the kids. Body switching, Tai Chi, mousse, wet hair, paper bag pants, sailor outfits, and dancing like Michael Jackson. Maybe its a good thing the 80s ended when it did.
EP05 - Mannequin
August 08, 2020 16:08 - 1 hour - 41.7 MBWere the window dressings even that good? What are the rules for mannequins? Why do poor people live in dope lofts and throw out ice cream after one bite. Also, the greatest time and place in recorded history is Philadelphia in the 1980s.
EP04 - The Monster Squad
