Episode description

Recorded before a live Facebook (and YouTube) audience, Will, Kat and Jon discuss current 1980s news including:

David Lee Roth prodded Sammy Hagar
Salem's Lot may never see daylight
Draft Star Wars script sold at auction

Then, we discuss the current (and potential future) state of media and ask whether the 1980s was part of that evolution.

Finally, they give away a collectible thanks to www.kokomotoys.com.
