Episode description

This week, we hop into a phone booth and dial straight into the heart of 80s absurdity with a deep dive into the Bill & Ted trilogy. From the surprisingly charming Excellent Adventure to the full-blown fever dream that is Bogus Journey, and finally to the recent reunion in Face the Music - we unpack the time-traveling, air-guitaring legacy of two dudes who somehow saved the universe.

Then it’s time to give the moms their moment. We count down our Top 5 Sitcom Moms of the 1980s - from wise and warm to sarcastic and savage. Some offered life advice. Others offered zingers. All were unforgettable.

And to wrap things up? We revisit the 80s toy that taught kids how to spell and adults how to lose their minds: the Speak & Spell. It's retro tech at its glitchiest - and most haunting.

Totally excellent? Most definitely. Just don’t ask us to explain the plot of Bogus Journey again.
