Patreon Bonus #12 - The John Carpenter Retrospective (or: The Secret Origins of '80s All Over)

September 11, 2017

Listeners already know about the first two test episodes of '80s All Over, set in the last year of the '70s, but while you might think those two episodes are where the show began, that's not really the truth. This episode, recorded in 2010, inside a Toronto hotel room, after the premiere of John Carpenter's The Ward, is essentially this show's secret origin. Drew hit record on a career-spanning conversation he and Scott were going to have anyway, and the late night experiment not only succeeded, but it eventually led to the creation of their own show.
