Grab your leg warmers and tease that hair to the rafters—we’re setting the retro wave dial straight to 1983!

Join DJ Paulie, Lou, DJ Brit, and Todd on The Back in Time Brothers Radio Show as we dive deep into the cult-classic teen romance that defined a generation: Valley Girl. From Nicolas Cage’s raw breakout role to the low-budget movie magic that conquered the box office, we’re unpacking everything that made this film an unforgettable 80s time capsule.

Inside this episode:

• The Ultimate Soundtrack Countdown: DJ Brit counts down the top new wave anthems from the film, featuring iconic tracks by Modern English, The Plimsouls, The Psychedelic Furs, Sparks, Josie Cotton, and Men at Work.
• Behind-the-Scenes Drama: Todd takes us into Rock Talk: The Dark Side to reveal the intense music licensing battles, Frank Zappa’s lawsuit, and how a gritty club in the film became the infamous Viper Room.
• Totally Tubular Fashion: Slouchy off-the-shoulder tees, jelly shoes, layered polo shirts, parachute pants, and a cloud of Aqua Net.
• 1983 Time Machine: Relive the year the personal computer took over, Sally Ride made space history, McDonald’s dropped Chicken McNuggets nationwide, and Cabbage Patch mania caused mall brawls.
