Russ Burlingame and Eva Furmanska launch THE SUMMER OF RIVERDALE, a 13-part series here at the Emerald City Video podcast where the show essentially crosses over with Russ's Archie Digest: A Riverdale Podcast...but not really.

Instead of looking at the popular CW series, which is what Archie Digest is for, ECV will be taking a look at the 13 movies that lent their titles to Season One episodes of Riverdale...and then pairing them with classic teen movies (because Archie and the gang are teens, after all).

This week, we look at two '80s classics -- one that holds up, one that doesn't, and both that leave us feeling a little sad -- River's Edge and Sixteen Candles.
