Rad Nostalgia for Eighties Kids
Light sabers, whip-toting archaeologists, proton packs, dream killers: everything that was once original and fun has been regurgitated and run into the ground by a desperate Hollywood. These creatively bankrupt rehashes and legacy sequels/reboots are not going away until they finally stop making money.
As an antidote to all that, enjoy some original stories that happen to have gnarly Eighties flair. Several of them call to mind perfected versions of those mind-numbingly terrible toy commercials masquerading as cartoons we all loved at the time.
...Yeah, go watch one episode of whatever show you're thinking of now as an adult. I dare you!
I genuinely liked the first season of Stranger Things. But that was a long time ago (I love how the nostalgia-influenced show just kept repeating its first season out of fear of doing anything new). I can't in good conscience add the show to this list.
