A deep dive into the 80s

I think I’m the same age as the hosts, and about the only thing I remember about Max Headroom is his ubiquity in pop culture. Since then, for the most part, I completely stopped thinking about him. I’m really excited that someone is doing a deep dive into this bit of pop culture history that, after 30-some years, deserves a bit of context.
