In this episode of Cor Memories, we rewind to the moment a new channel forever changed music and pop culture—MTV. From the very first broadcast in 1981 to the explosion of music videos that turned unknown bands into household names, we revisit the energy, excitement, and growing pains of a cultural revolution.

Join us as we remember the VJs who became our after-school companions, the videos that pushed boundaries, and the way MTV reshaped how a generation discovered music. It wasn’t just television—it was a movement, a mirror of the times, and the backdrop to countless memories.

If you ever said “I want my MTV,” this episode is a trip back to when the music really did meet the television.

On this month's episode, we’re jumping into the hot, hazy, Kool-Aid-stained days of summer in the 1980s.

These were the summers of cassette tapes in boom boxes, Otter Pops melting faster than you could eat them, and popsicles turning your tongue radioactive blue.
We built ramps from old plywood, drank from the hose, and somehow survived with no sunscreen and very little supervision.

In this episode, we’re talking with fellow nostalgia nerds about what summer really felt like when you were a kid in the '80s.

The music, the mayhem, the freedom — and the fashion disasters.

So kick off your jellies, grab a cold Capri Sun, and let’s rewind to a time when life was just simpler, louder, and a whole lot stickier.

Before the prequels, before streaming, before the internet could dissect every frame — Star Wars was something you felt. And if you were a kid growing up in the 80s or 90s, chances are, it was more than just a movie. It was part of who you were.

Maybe your first glimpse of that galaxy far, far away came from a crackly VHS tape, a fuzzy TV broadcast, or a worn-out copy taped off of HBO. Maybe it was the sound of lightsabers in the backyard, or plastic figures scattered across your bedroom floor. Maybe it was standing in line at Toys "R" Us, holding your breath, hoping there was still a Boba Fett left on the peg.

This episode is for the kids who turned couch cushions into X-Wings. For the ones who knew every line from Empire before they knew their multiplication tables. For anyone who remembers a time when the force wasn’t a franchise — it was magic.

Today, we’re opening the blast doors on those childhood memories — the movies, the toys, the costumes, the anticipation — and what it really meant to grow up as a Star Wars fan before the galaxy got so big.

So grab your lightsaber — even if it’s made out of wrapping paper — and let’s jump to lightspeed. Welcome to The Cor Memories Podcast.

We’re diving into one of the most unforgettable parts of growing up in the 80s and 90s: the fashion. The neon colors that could practically blind you. The jean jackets two sizes too big. The bucket hats, slap bracelets, Zubaz pants, and don't even get me started on hypercolor shirts that betrayed you the moment you started to sweat.

Some of these outfits made us feel like absolute rockstars... others make us wonder how our parents let us leave the house like that. (And yes, there are definitely photos floating around somewhere to prove it.)

On this episode of The Cor Memories Podcast, we’re celebrating the style, the swagger, and the spectacular fashion fails that made those decades so iconic. Get ready for some guilty confessions, epic trends, and a whole lot of laughs as we relive the fits that defined a generation.

Now, zip up those Starter jackets and lace up those LA Gears — The Cor Memories Podcast is officially open for business!

Close your eyes and picture this: It’s a Friday night in 1980-something. You just spent the whole week at school, counting down the days to this moment. You hop in the backseat of the family station wagon, maybe Mom and Dad let you bring a friend along. As you pull into the parking lot, you see it—the glowing marquee, those big, bold letters spelling out the latest blockbuster. It could be Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, or The Goonies—it doesn’t even matter. You’re about to step into another world.

The smell of buttered popcorn hits you as soon as you walk in. The floor is sticky, the arcade is buzzing with kids pumping quarters into Pac-Man, and there’s that unmistakable hum of excitement in the air. You clutch your ticket stub like it’s a golden pass to adventure, hoping to snag the perfect seat—right in the middle, not too close, not too far.

Then, the lights dim. The screen flickers to life, the previews roll, and suddenly… you're gone. Swept up into space battles, treasure hunts, or wild sci-fi adventures. For the next two hours, nothing else exists. No smartphones, no streaming, just pure, uninterrupted magic.

Today, we’re rewinding back to that era—the 80s movie-going experience, seen through the eyes of a kid. From the joy of VHS rentals to the thrill of sneaking into an R-rated flick, we’re diving into what made the movies of that time unforgettable. So grab your popcorn, slurp up that oversized soda, and let’s hit the rewind button.

The 1980s… A decade of neon colors, mixtapes, and Friday nights at the roller rink. It was a time before smartphones and social media, when a folded-up note passed in class could make your heart race, and the sight of your crush at the arcade felt like destiny.

Young love in the '80s was something magical, wasn’t it? It was innocent, awkward, and beautifully simple. A glance across the cafeteria, a slow dance at the school gym, or waiting by the landline hoping they'd call. Back then, love was written in spiral-bound notebooks and spelled out in mixtape tracklists.

TOn this episode, we’re diving deep into those memories—first crushes, awkward confessions, and the unforgettable butterflies of growing up in the era of big hair and even bigger feelings. So, pop in your favorite cassette, grab a can of New Coke, and get ready to travel back to a time when love was as radical as a walkman on full volume.
