In 1986, Hasbro wanted to sell more Transformers toys. Their solution was to make a movie that killed off many of the existing Transformers and replaced them with a new generation of characters. It turned out not to be the best marketing decision, but the movie itself has stood the test of time and is arguably more popular today than it was when it was originally released.

In this episode of the podcast, Milo is joined by Chad from the Retro Nostalgia Podcast to discuss The Transformers: The Movie on its 40th anniversary.

Lazer Tag has been around in one form or another since the mid-1980s. The game has been played at home, in arenas, and even used for military training. In this episode of The 80s and 90s Uncensored, we look at the history of the toy that allowed kids and adults to act out their action-hero fantasies, thanks to a guy who watched a movie and wanted to shoot the laser guns he saw on the big screen.

When Married... with Children premiered in 1987, it presented the world with something it had never seen before: a TV dad people could actually relate to, a TV dad that was more like our actual dads than most dads on TV.

We all know the name John DeLorean. We all know the DeLorean DMC-12. We’ve probably been driving down the road and seen one drive past, been to a car show and seen one on display, most likely kitted out to look like the one from the movie Back to the Future, the film that made a car that probably would have gone down as a failure become a cultural icon and collectable amongst movie and car enthusiasts.

John DeLorean started life as a working-class kid from Detroit who rose through the American auto industry to become the youngest division head General Motors had ever had. He then went on to build a car under his own name, only to watch the company collapse and to be arrested in a cocaine sting that made front pages around the world.
