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 20-22, 1986: The Karate Kid has a second adventure as we dive into the world of Debra Winger and Legal Eagles. Mona Lisa finds itself an instant gem among the summer. And who doesn’t want a Winnie the Pooh rerelease?
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.

Matt Pelsor is back for another summer of music discussion. He starts off with Simply Red’s soft moody hit “Holding Back The Years”. And of course, Brandon ties this into both Doctor Who & Dave Matthews Band cuz of course he would.

June 13-15, 1986: It’s time to chip in to the Save Ferris campaign! Maybe that will help fund Rodney Dangerfield’s first semester. John Stamos tries his hand at Bond and Jon Lithgow messes with some dangerous science fair projects. Our movies all carry a very scholastic theme this week!

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.

Still in 1943, this time we are talking about The Seventh Victim in our Val Lewton retrospective. There’s a change in director for this film and we have an addition on the hosting of the show. Yancy Berns returns to the show to discuss this highly influential thriller in the Val Lewton canon with us.
When next this retrospective picks up, we’ll be talking about The Ghost Ship from 1943.

May 30 – June 1, 1986: A crazy week that features 4 films that none of us were familiar with going in. From a Chinese tale of heritage to a Double Indemnity parody riff to a semi truck adventure to another Remo Williams whatever adventure…this week really has a variety of blah to offer! Don’t worry – we have thoughts!
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.

The music video for Robert Palmer’s “Addicted To Love” has been strongly hailed as one of the greatest music videos of the 80s and all time. In this episode, I have questions about that. Troy Brownfield joins Scott Mendelson & Jennifer Wreyford as the only people to have been part of every Summer Of project and acts as a therapist as I got through not understanding the popularity of this video.
