How much was your mom like Aaron and Dr. Amy's mom? Did she have shoulder pads and velour track suits? Did she balance her career with sewing buttons on Girl Scout uniforms? Did she LOVE LOVE LOVE Bruce Willis in "Moonlighting" in the 1980s? Listen to this week's episode to learn about the life and career of Detective John McClane (aka Bruce Willis) and learn who our mother's REAL boyfriend was on "Moonlighting."

Are you familiar with the Care Bear Stare? Not to be confused with the "thousand yard stare" that haunts soldiers returning from the horrors of war, the Care Bear Stare - according to Dr. Amy who researches these things - involves getting together with your shirtless buddies and shooting love out of your tummies in order to defeat your enemies. Sounds fun, right?

Following its bold and memorable origins in the 1970s, NBC's sketch comedy show "Saturday Night Live" found its footing in the 80s with stars like Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Phil Hartman and EDDIE FREAKIN MURPHY COME ON! We all loved the Church Lady and Mr. Robinson and Wayne and Garth back then ... and we still do!

It's hard to believe there was ever a time when the plot of "Porky's" was a totally acceptable thing to portray in a mainstream movie, but in the 1980s, things were ... different. Even some of our favorite films of the decade - like "Sixteen Candles" - are filled with moments that, upon rewatch today, seem WILDLY inappropriate! Let's dive into a few cringey movie moments, this week on The Latchkey Kids!

It's finally time, latchkey kids! Time for a VERY SPECIAL episode about very special episodes! Remember when Mr. Drummond would occasionally open "Diff'rent Strokes" by looking straight into the camera and warning you that you were in for a VERY SERIOUS TOPIC that would not include any of Arnold's typical antics at all, and may very well leave you traumatized? Well THIS is exactly that kind of episode! Join Dr. Amy and Punky Brewster as they mourn the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger astronauts, completely oblivious that Aaron has locked himself inside an abandoned refrigerator.

People, do you remember how excited we all were back in 1985 when the gloriously star-studded song and video for "We Are the World" came out? Dr. Amy was so inspired to fight famine in Ethiopia that she convinced mom to drive her to Milano's Music to purchase the sheet music so she could play it ENDLESSLY on the piano for several weeks! But now, nearly 40 years later, we have questions ... like where are Madonna and Prince? And is Bob Dylan even singing? And most importantly, what the heck is Dan Ackroyd doing there?!

Perhaps in celebration that 1984 didn't turn out quite as bleak as the book, the music industry gave us dozens of memorable hits that wonderful year. From Tina Turner's big comeback, to EVERY SINGLE SONG on the "Footloose" soundtrack, to Metallica's thunderous "Ride the Lightning" album, music in 1984 had a little something for everyone. Sing along with Aaron and Dr. Amy!

With the platinum hairdo, the dazzling rhinestones, and the million-watt smile, Dolly Parton has truly been America's sweetheart for the last 60 years or so. She's an amazing songwriter/musician, a hilarious jokester, an actress, philanthropist, businesswoman, and one of Dr. Amy's personal heroes ever since she used to sing along with "Islands In the Stream" on the way to Mary Moppet's Preschool in dad's 1967 Chevy pickup truck. Join us this week in celebrating all things Dolly!

Back when Aaron and Dr. Amy were growing up, it was all fine and good to have "real" friends but what we REALLY wanted was to be friends with the hilarious, beautiful people we saw on TV! And who wouldn't want to hang out in that fabulous South Florida kitchen, sharing quirky anecdotes and witty one-liners with the Golden Girls?! It's part three of our very special podcast extravaganza on TV sitcom friendships, this week on The Latchkey Kids.

You know who should've won ALL the Emmy awards? Whomever was in charge of casting for the classic, hilarious, and bawdy sitcom Three's Company! The show featured such memorable characters and actors such as Mr. Furley (Don Knotts), Mrs. Roper (Audra Lindley), Chrissy Snow (Suzanne Somers), and of course Jack Tripper, played by the great John Ritter (RIP). Come and knock on our door this week as we drop in on Janet, Jack, and Chrissy!
