WOW WOW WOW. There is a point in this podcast episode (we're not going to tell you where; you'll have to find it for yourself) where Dr. Amy belts out an absolutely soaring, majestic rendition of the classic Poison tune "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Amy DOES NOT HOLD BACK. It's inspirational. You're not going to believe it.

Eighties dads were the coolest! They all had mustaches, chest hair, and red Ferrari Testarossas that they drove home form their cool jobs at the high-paying advertising firm. It's hard to pick the best 80s dad with all the great competition - Jason Seaver, Cliff Huxtable, Phillip Drummond, and many more - but for Aaron and Dr. Amy, there's only one King of the Dads - Kenny Selbig!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ... there was a guy named George Lucas who had one of the most brilliant, creative minds the world has ever known but ALSO had a terrible penchant for making dumb decisions regarding the space world he created ... like almost cutting Yoda OUT of Return of the Jedi! Can you imagine?! Listen to this episode to hear Aaron once again go completely nuts over the Star Wars universe.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ... there was a movie studio that needed to capitalize on a surprise hit space opera film that featured light sabres and weird creatures and perhaps the greatest, scariest movie bad guy of all time. So what did they do? They made a sequel where the bad guy is THE DAD OF THE GOOD GUY! Can you believe that?! Isn't that ridiculous? Tune into this episode to hear Aaron completely lose his mind over this movie that came out 43 years ago.

WE MUST! WE MUST! WE MUST EXPRESS OUR LOVE AND ADMIRATION FOR JUDY BLUME IN THIS EPISODE OF THE LATCHKEY KIDS!

The 1980s truly was a golden age for great gadgets and gizmos. Did you ever send a fax while listening to your Walkman? Return a call from your beeper only to get an answering machine? Clap off your lights after you're done using your Dustbuster? If you know what these things are, this episode is for you!

Were you an early bird like Dr. Amy or a night owl like Aaron? If you stayed up late, you probably remember when TV used to actually SHUT DOWN at midnight every night. But before midnight, we would be entertained by the kings of late night TV — woof woof-ing with Arsenio Hall, doing stupid human tricks with David Letterman, or getting tucked into bed by Johnny.

From Phil Donahue running frantically around with his microphone, to the salacious spectacle of Geraldo Rivera and Jerry Springer, to The Queen herself, Aaron and Dr. Amy recount the rise of the daytime talk show during the 1980s. So if you're home sick from school and there's nothing else on right now, give this week's episode a listen!

Of course everyone knows about Madonna and Sean Penn, or Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, but thanks to the tireless, painstaking research of Dr. Amy we now know that for a little while in the 1980s, Tom Cruise dated Cher! I mean HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! Isn't she like a foot taller than him? Did he need a stepladder to kiss her?!

Are you - like Sheena or Judy from Ramones fame - a punk rocker? Who was your favorite punk band back in the day? Did you mosh to the political satire of the Dead Kennedys? Did you pogo to the gritty sounds of The Clash? Do you know what "gobbing" is, or do you even want to know? Then listen to DJ Aaron and Dr. Amy reminisce about the punk rock movement of the 70s and 80s.
