It’s Saturday night, 1984. We’re twelve years old, fueled by popcorn, Mountain Dew, and the belief that the mall is the center of the universe.

A sleepover was the golden opportunity—old enough to roam free but too young to get into the "good" movies.

Tonight, we’re rewinding the tape to those Saturdays when freedom still had a curfew and you could drink 12 Mt Dews and still go to sleep.

The Sleepover.
