From The Breakfast Club to Innerspace to Tron, why is it, the more we talk about Wang Chung, the more ‘80s movies come to mind? DJ CK-1 is the subject of an enlightening and thought-provoking interview - courtesy of Paul (DJ Nurmix) from the Intellivisionaries Podcast. And VH-1 inserts its “Worst Ever” list into its bumhole.

Click here for the unabridged interview.

This arousing “adults-only” episode pits pop against the blues, Ferris Bueller against Adventures in Babysitting, and Robotech’s Minmei against Lisa. DJ CK1 gives Hollywood a stern warning and reveals his deepest intimate secrets regarding pro-wrestling, Hi-NRG music, animated mice, and dancing prostitutes.

They're two of a kind - featuring a double-dose of upbeat, power-packed, energy-fueled commentary and a sprinkle of torturous laughter. Even if AK47 is not A.2.O.N.J., even if CK1 can't pronounce "Farrar," and he's drinking Jimmy Buffett beer, and the Gobotron 2000 ain't working - our montage of montages will release the twist of fate that will save humanity!
