Entertain This...

On this episode of Entertain This… the Throwback continues as we talk about a blockbuster hit movie from the 1980s in the present day (there’s a metaphor for time travel in there somewhere). Things go from 0 to 88 miles an hour real quick when we dissect the plot and how this film was made among the wider cultural context among the multitude of ‘coming of age’ dramas. It’s goofy, it’s wacky and that’s great because we are too! So why not have a listen, and laugh along with us?
