As “Where Were You in ‘82”? continues, we do what everyone else in the 80’s was doing: reliving the 50’s. Grab a chair and order up some gravy fries, it’s Diner!
Imagine…travelling back to a time before the Internet…before Mountain Dew Livewire…and before the neo-post apocalypse…
This Summer, Apocalypse Video asks the question: Where Were You In ‘82?
The date is May 21st, 1982. The theme for Chariots of Fire is climbing the charts as it inspires a generation of parody videos...and a little drama about 50s nostalgia is about to open wide and let the boomers relive their glory days.
The film...is Diner. And it's open for business...Now!
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we order another batch of gravy fries are fellow cinephiles and Diner regulars Mike and Ryan.
Topics of discussion in this episode include Mickey Rourke paving the way in the 50’s for 80’s style hairdos; we debate the proper way to organize a record collection; and finally, we discover the origin of the “Dick in a Popcorn Bucket” gag, and whether or not Diner can claim it did it first.

And as the boys of Diner realize their best years were spent watching some guy eat a whole restaurant’s menu, we too must leave the 50’s behind and return to the 80’s to rid a house in the suburbs of some pesky ghosts with Tobe Hooper’s, Poltergeist. See you then.
