For the holiday, the 1980s Now crew gifts the joy of the GenXGrownUp podcast. After a brief introduction from Will, Kat and Jon, listen to our co-host Jon as he leads his own trio of retro enthusiasts, as they discuss a terrifying phenomenon that haunted our favorite decade.
In the 1980s, a wave of fear swept across America, fueled by rumors of satanic cults, ritualistic murders, and child abductions. This wave, known as the Satanic Panic, led to mass hysteria, witch hunts, and even false convictions. In this Backtrack, we delve into the origins, impact, and enduring legacy of this dark chapter in American history.

On this episode, Will chats with Matt Manjourides, producer of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs and the follow up film to 1987's horror Street Trash .
Matt grew up in 1980s Swampscott, MA - inspired by the action and horror films at the time, he made home movies with friends when not working at the family restaurant in Boston.
After working with legend Lloyd Kaufman at Troma, Matt created production company Not the Funeral Home, reviving horror hosting with The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob on AMC+ and Shudder, producing high-value, low-budget films and raising over half a million dollars for charity.
Watch Joe Bob's Christmas Carnage live on December 13 on Shudder TV or AMC+ TV.
Snow is falling and the bodies are piling up for Joe Bob's Christmas Carnage, when Joe Bob and Darcy host two holiday horror flicks featuring so much bloodshed that Santa will think twice before coming down this chimney.

On this episode, Will chats with Will Rigby, drummer and founding member of The dB's. While The dB's are credited with influencing the sound of others that came later in the decade, the band did not have the commercial success it deserved. Their path to greater exposure was likely hampered by the limited releases of their first two albums. In the 1980s, "Stands for Decibels" and "Repercussion" were only released on vinyl by the UK label Albion. Music lovers would have to find their record in a store that imported EPs or be among the few fortunate enough to hear them on an independent radio station. Fortunately, both of those albums have now been on vinyl for the first time US. Thanks to Propeller Sound Recordings, both remastered discs are available now. Visit thedbs.com to get yours.
