When you think about the iconic 80's movies, it's safe to say that MOST of the best 80's movies came out in 1984 and 1985. But this is too much for Dan and Larry to tackle alone so Mike the Voice Monkey joins the boys to try to make sense of these amazing movies from 1984 and 1985.

Continuing their discussion on reliving the 80's today, the boys contemplate how you could live the 80's lifestyle now. Would it be the clothes you wear? The way you listen to music? The car you drive? Where would you get your entertainment from? And how would living the 80's lifestyle relieve stress and make you more productive today?

Dan and Larry ask the poignant question, "How would you relive the 80's today?" What if video games of the 80's didn't make their first appearance until today? What if we didn't have social media? And MTV aired for the first time, TODAY?
