42. 🎥🎶1980s Movie Music

Dan & Manny put music from 5 movies from the 1980s to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST. Our nostalgia-obsessed hosts discuss the songs: 

• 🦶"Footloose" by Kenny Loggins from the movie Footloose
• 🌃"Rhythm of the Night" by DeBarge from the movie The Last Dragon
• ⚡"Flash" by Queen from the movie Flash Gordon
• 😮‍💨"Take My Breath Away" by Berlin from the movie Top Gun
• 😢"No Easy Way Out" by Robert Tepper from the movie Rocky IV 
  • Official Robert Tepper Video

Dan & Manny try to figure out which of these songs can be played in a bar, urge everyone to see the movie The Last Dragon, and give everyone a glimpse into what a Rocky IV episode would be like. There's also a ton of bad singing, inconsistent facts, and so much confusion around Queen's song "Flash." 

And much more, including:

• Dan does a dramatic reading of the lyrics from "Footloose." 
• Episode 41: 🏄😎 Airborne (1993)
• Suburban Commando
• Masters of the Universe 
• Flash Gordon
• Berry Gordy
• Mom And Dad Save The World
• Manny freestyles a flash-fiction story about "Flash."
• Episode 16: 🤡 Killer Klowns From Outer Space

• It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Charlie Dances to "Take My Breath Away"
• Hot Shots!
• Ol' Dirty Bastard
• Rocky
