That's Pretty Dark: An '80s & '90s Nostalgia Podcast

Historical hijinks, mischievous miniatures, and the birth of the PG-13 rating… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids as they learn how society’s need for a scapegoat evolved from imps and elves, took to the sky to vex the Royal Air Force in wartime, and eventually inspired a slapstick horror comedy… with some sticky parental guidance suggestions. Between Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus, its production story is a who’s who of ‘80s cinema blending behind the scenes serendipity and on-screen mayhem… To understand, one only has to listen.
