Description
Two lifelong Gen-X friends from a tiny Ohio community set out on a quest to find the totally 80s-est song ever recorded! Joe Wack and Keith Marsteller discuss 80s music, pop culture, celebrities, movies, music videos, and products through the lens of their rural upbringing. After arranging the songs into a bracket of 64, they then rely on audience votes to advance songs through the tournament, all in the service of finding "The 80s-est" song in all the land!
