Episode description
This week, Bill & Damian tackle two legendary 80s misadventures: the New Coke fiasco and the gloriously chaotic movie Weird Science.
First, marketing pro Michael Daehn joins to unpack the 1980s Cola Wars and how Coca-Cola sparked a nationwide meltdown with New Coke. 🥤🔥
Then it’s onto Trigger Warning (Not) Required: Weird Science, where the guys revisit John Hughes’ teenage fever dream of bras-on-head, supernatural computer magic, Kelly LeBrock perfection, and Bill Paxton literally turning into a pile of… something. 🧪👙💩
Fast, funny, nostalgic, and undeniably 80s.
