In part two of our deep dive into 1980s cinematic delights from the mind of Stephen King, we look at two VERY different movies — the classic coming-of-age tale "Stand By Me," known for it's bangin' soundtrack and future-star-studded cast of young actors, and "Pet Semetary," a story so dark that even King himself wondered if he'd gone too far. 

What's your favorite Stephen King movie? Is it the one about the killer Saint Bernard who spends two hours trying to murder two people stuck inside a Ford Pinto? Or maybe the classic Stanley Kubrick masterpiece about the isolated mountain hotel that has many dark secrets to keep. Learn all the backstory, Easter eggs and fun facts about "Cujo" and "The Shining" on Episode 40.

The year 1985 had the best of everything. It was the year "Back to the Future" came out. It was the year parachute pants became a craze with teenage boys all over the country. And it had some of the biggest music moments of the 1980s. From Madonna to Tears for Fears to "We Are the World," let's explore the auditory delights of 1985.

Sing it with us! "Big Mac — Filet-O-Fish — Quarter Pounder — French Fries! — Icy Coke — Thick Shakes — Sundaes and Apple Pies!" The fact that you still remember all the words to that very 1980s commercial jingle stands as a testament to the ubiquitousness of American fast food. Let's dig in to episode 38 ...

We hope you brought your appetite to this week's episode of The Latchkey Kids because it's time to eat! Pull up a chair and loosen your belt as Aaron and Dr. Amy take you away on a culinary journey through the 1980s, featuring hot fudge sundaes, tabletop Ms. Pac-Man, sawdust on the floor, and possibly animatronic mice. 

Tune in to Episode 36 for a Latchkey Kids True Confession from Aaron about how he cheated at Rubik's Cube in 1981 and made everyone think he was a genius when actually he is kind of an idiot. Also, hear how Amy used to leave her Lite Brite plugged in all night for use as a night light, creating a hazardous fire danger for the whole entire house!

Did you ever try to seduce your first love at a water park, like Aaron did (using the irresistible combination of licorice ropes and Dr. Pepper)? Did you ever try the Cannonball Loop at "Class Action Park" in New Jersey? Did you see Pink Floyd perform at Big Surf in Tempe, Arizona in 1972? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you are in truly rare company ... and episode 35 is for you!

Join Aaron and Dr. Amy this week as they launch themselves from rickety swingsets, burn their skin off on hot metal slides, and crack their skulls open falling off the monkey bars. Because (old man voice) back in our day, if the playground didn't send you to the emergency room, you weren't playing hard enough!

RULE #1 of the family road trip: DO NOT make dad pull this car over. RULE #2: DO NOT feed the dog French fries in the back seat. It's time to load up the family wagon, boys and girls, as Aaron and Dr. Amy take us for a ride on the open road. Can you tell Dr. Amy to stay on her side of the back seat, PLEASE?!

Put on your puffy vest, slide into your DeLorean, and pop some Huey Lewis and the News into the cassette player because we are going back ... TO THE FUTURE! 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.
