This week on the show, it's all about songs featured in ‘80s movies. I'm sure we're gonna run into old friends like Axel Foley, Marty McFly, Ferris Bueller, Lloyd Dobbler, Clark Griswold and dozens of others while we're there. I invite you to join me this Thursday night we'll find out who shows up together.
