Latch-Key Dads wrap up the August 1985 episode with a movie review of Teen Wolf!  This low budget movie was a surprise hit thanks to the hottest teen idol -  Michael J. Fox.  Suspension of disbelief is at an all-time high when high schooler Scott Howard turns into a werewolf mid-basketball game – and yet the game continues. Does the movie hold up or is it a big disappointment?  You gotta listen to find out.

August 1985 was so jam-packed with awesomeness, one episode couldn’t contain it! 🚀 In Part II of Latch-Key Dads: August of 1985, we dive headfirst into the movies and TV shows that defined the month and still live rent-free in our nostalgic hearts.

🎬 At the movies: From the brainy fun of Weird Science to Michael J. Fox rocking the court (and the fur) in Teen Wolf, plus cult favorites like Return of the Living Dead and Better Off Dead—this month had it all. And who could forget the wild ride of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure or the chills of Fright Night?

📺 On TV: It was appointment viewing every night with heavy hitters like The A-Team, Family Ties, Night Court, Miami Vice, and The Cosby Show.

So grab your remote, your Reeboks, and your Trapper Keeper, because Mr. T has one thing to say: “I pity the fool who doesn’t listen to Latch-Key Dads!” Don’t test him—hit play now!

Latch-Key Dads take a break from eating all of that fabulous 80's food to bring you July 1988! That glorious month in the summer of '88 saw a high number of movie sequels along with some real gems such as Die Hard, A Fish Called Wanda, and the Corey movie License to Drive (with a young Heather Graham).  When not at the movies, we were watching ALF, Growing Pains, The Cosby Show, and 21 Jump Street. Def Leppard, Terence Trent D'Arby, INXS and Richard Marx were rockin' the Billboard Top 10 and we were loving life. Check it out as Tim and Greg relive it all.
