An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)

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 still August 13th, 1982. John Cougar Mellencamp's "Hurts So Good" is sitting comfortably in the #4 spot after topping former champion, The Human League; and a former American Gigolo is about to enter flight school as he hopes to become an Officer....or at least...a Gentleman.

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we try to avoid getting kicked in the balls by our commanding officer is fellow cinephile and Naval Aviator in training, Mike.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the bizarre lore of “The Puget Sound Debs”; we present Robert Loggia with the coveted “Worst Dad of the Year” Award; and finally, we discover that naval boot camp doubles as a great form of therapy when your dead beat father is a “Worst Dad of the Year” award winner.

And as Louis Gossett Jr. fights off tears sending Ensign Mayo off to his destiny, we too must say goodbye as we hop into the van and make our way to Crystal Lake for one last hurrah before Summer ends. That’s right, when we return, Where Were You in ‘82 AND our long running Friday the 13th retrospective will conclude as we watch the one that started it all (fashionably speaking): Friday the 13th: Part III.
