The Summer of 86 at 40: June 6-8, 1986
About this episode
The episode explores the pop culture landscape of June 6-8, 1986, focusing on films, television, and music from that weekend.
The Summer of 86 at 40 is a weekly retrospective journey through United States pop culture surrounding the films released in May, June, July and August of 1986. Brandon Peters, Scott Mendelson and Aaron Neuwirth take a weekend by weekend look at the films released as well as the news stories, commercials, television and music that rounded out the general public’s lives as they lined the pockets of the box office to see these movies. June 6-8, 1986: We aren’t quite to Arnold as king of the blockbuster yet, he has his hits and misses such as Raw Deal. Tobe Hooper joins us for the first of two films this summer in his Invaders From Mars remake. Suffering through My Little Pony is also worth it to get to spend time with Lea Thompson in Spacecamp! We’ll also be discussing the box office report, notable news stories, a 1986 commercial, the top 10 Nielsen rated tv programs for the week and the top 10 of Casey Kasem’s American top 40 from the week these films were released.
