42. 🎥🎶1980s Movie Music

Dan & Manny put music from 5 movies from the 1980s to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST. Our nostalgia-obsessed hosts discuss the songs: 

• 🦶"Footloose" by Kenny Loggins from the movie Footloose
• 🌃"Rhythm of the Night" by DeBarge from the movie The Last Dragon
• ⚡"Flash" by Queen from the movie Flash Gordon
• 😮‍💨"Take My Breath Away" by Berlin from the movie Top Gun
• 😢"No Easy Way Out" by Robert Tepper from the movie Rocky IV 
  • Official Robert Tepper Video

Dan & Manny try to figure out which of these songs can be played in a bar, urge everyone to see the movie The Last Dragon, and give everyone a glimpse into what a Rocky IV episode would be like. There's also a ton of bad singing, inconsistent facts, and so much confusion around Queen's song "Flash."
