In a special “Where Were You in ‘82” epilogue, the gang pulls a long lost E.T. & The Goonies episode from an alternate timeline in an effort to bring closure to 1982’s biggest film.
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 June 11th, 1982. Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder are celebrating their fifth week on the top of the charts with Ebony and Ivory; and a lost alien life form is about to phone home...with the help of Sammy Fableman.
The film...is E T. The Extra Terrestrial. And it's riiiiight heeeere, with a special appearance by The Goonies...now!
I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we go through a tear in space and time to listen to a now defunct podcast are fellow cinephiles and time travellers Mike, Ryan, and Jackie.
Topics of discussion in this bonus episode include the joys of early 80s PG films, including light profanity and homicidal rich kids; alternate-timeline Mike explains how he somehow missed seeing E.T. as a kid (much to me and Ryan’s disgust); and finally, we all pick our favorite Goonie, while discussing the topic everyone was obsessed with in 2016: are Italians the last ethnicity it’s socially acceptable to “do a funny voice of”.*
