This final episode of our tour through 1986 is supersized. We start strong by breaking down the Rodney Dangerfield classic Back to School, also starring Robert Downey Jr, Sally Kellerman, Ned Beatty, Sam Kinison, and more. You'll be ready to do the Triple Lindy by the time we're done!

We then finish even stronger by getting steeped in nostalgia as Brad and Giff share memory after memory of school days of yore. You are sure to connect with many of these memories as we transport you back in time. You might say we'll take you back to school!

If you were alive in 1986, you know that Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet album was inescapable. Even if you were just 10 years old, like we were, these tunes were everywhere. Giff and Brad are here to share their memories and more as they go track by track through this classic.

The draft this week is the best front "men" in 80s hair/glam bands. Play along as we pick the cream of the crop from Axl to David to David to Jon and on and on. Rock on!

The 80s were filled with primetime specials and very special episodes of otherwise comedic shows. We've enlisted Lindsay from Children of the 80s podcast to help us go back in time and remember these nostalgic events.

Brad's favorite (non-holiday) special growing up was Garfield in Paradise. As a fellow Garfield superfan, Lindsay is also the perfect choice to help us break down Garfield, Jon, Odie, and an angry volcano.

As if that isn't enough, we draft our favorite TV from 1986 to cap it off. This is an episode that is not only special, it's filled with nostalgia and memories for all.

Here at PCY we LOVE nostalgia. And in recent years one TV series has captured 80s nostalgia better than most: Stranger Things. We are looking back at when Stranger Things took Netflix by storm in 2016. We'll talk about the first episode, the great cast, including newcomers and 80s throwbacks (Winona Ryder, Matthew Modine), and the all the nostalgic touches that made the show so great.

Because Stranger Things was so dependent on great young actors, we also look back at a time when child stars ruled the airwaves. Our draft this week is our favorite child sitcom stars of the 80s. It's a fun look back. Don't miss it!

Andy Samberg is very popular, The Lonely Island took SNL by storm, this movie contains cameos from many of the biggest stars in entertainment; so why was Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping such a box office bomb? We'll hit on that in this episode, but we'll focus more on the brilliance of the writing and the music, which has made this initial bomb now a cult classic that is slowly gaining the audience it deserves.

Connor4Real and the Style Boyz are excellent fictional artists. We'll cap off the episode by drafting our favorite fictional bands and musical artists from TV and Film. So turn it up. This one goes to 11.

You voted and you chose this week's topic: Major League! We have loved this movie since its release in 1989. Definitely in the conversation for best sports movie ever, we talk about the great characters, lines, scenes, and moments that make it so great.

One of the best moments is Rick Vaughn's entrance to "Wild Thing." In honor of that moment, we draft our favorite uses of music in movie sports scenes. It wasn't the easiest list to create, but the choices are all memorable.
