Great first episode!

I haven’t seen this movie in 10 years and this episode made me want to watch it again immediately! Funny, informative and nostalgic! Jason has a great authority on this genre and was entertaining and engaging to the end. I greatly recommend fans of 80’s films to have a listen!
