The result is a lively, funny and surprisingly thoughtful conversation about romance, music, dance and why Dirty Da...

If the 1980s had an official soundtrack composer, it would almost certainly be John Williams. Across multiple decades, Williams created some of the most iconic movie music ever written, but during the 1980s in particular, his scores became deeply woven into the emotional fabric of Gen X childhood. This week on the Stuck in the ’80s Podcast , Spearsy, B-Rad and Just Drew celebrate the legendary com...

Stuck in the '80s is sponsored by The 80s Cruise . There are still cab...

Back in 2006, Stuck in the '80s was just a year old, but we felt fancy enough to honor Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album. The show, just 30 minutes long, was one of the first episodes we really felt good about when we were done. And not just for all the suggestive humor. Now, on Thriller's 35th anniversary, we go back in time to honor the album, the artist and the episode we recorded 11 years ago...
