Join Dr. Amy and brother Aaron for a deep dive into possibly the most 1980s movie ever made. And remember — where we're going, we don't need roads. 

Aaron and Dr. Amy wrap up a weeklong visit, during which they discovered In-N-Out Burger's "secret" menu, hit the roller rink for TWO nights of retro fun, mastered the fine art of the mall walk, and spotted an ultra rare silver DeLorean in the wild! All that plus some profound life advice on this week's episode of The Latchkey Kids. 

What would you do if your ex showed up on your front lawn in the middle of the night, wearing a trench coat and holding a boom box aloft while staring at your window? Call the police?

It's part two of our series on romantic comedies of the 1980s, this week on The Latchkey Kids.

What's the quintessential car of the 1980s? Is it every kid's poster car — the Lamborghini Countach? The white Ferrari Testarossa from Miami Vice? KITT from Knight Rider?

Fasten your seatbelts.
