News:: Turbowave to the Max: An ode to 80's inspired media

The 80’s were a fascinating and iconic time in the history of the US-neon, synth, cocaine and some incredible movies and other media came out at the time as well as a swath of crime and gang violence that informed a lot of the identity of that decade. You can tell a lot about the type of society by the media they make, and the 80’s are no exception. The 80’s were before my time and yet for many, yours truly included, they still serve as such a fascinating cultural fusion of interesting themes, ideas, and talking points.

Really, there’s so much rich content from and later inspired by that time period it that it’s hard not to become enamored upon viewing some of it. With that in mind, I thought it would be interesting to look at some media either from the 80's or inspired from it to give an idea of what appeals so much and perhaps lead you into some media you will find interesting as well.

This is by no means a comprehensive list, so please add your favorites in the comments below. Let's delve into some Turbowave to the Max standouts!
