"Loverboy" was very informative during my teenage years. I kept waiting for my paper route to turn into a sexual escapade. Never happened though.

Loverboy will DEFINITELY be in that article. After I track down a copy to watch.

I apologize in advance for re piquing your interest in said film. Then again it's ridiculous 80s in a way that will seem familiar and maybe even comfortable.

Oh, I've seen it dozens of times, but I want to find a copy to rewatch it. It's not anywhere on streaming that I can find.

I believe it's on laser disc. Be sure to ask the front desk at the Android's Dungeon as they might have it in back.

Yep...i fast forwarded all the naughty bits from dodgy pirated vhs copies my dad got from an uncles cousin. Here's a nod to 9.5 weeks and my favourite, Weird Science. John Cusack was my hero and The Sure Thing is the ultimate 80s movie. Although, Tom Hanks in Bachelor, or Porkies, Screwballs and Hardbodies all had me wearing out the pause/rewind button.

There will be a Weird Science piece at some point. Love that film.

Bwahahaha. Nothing says "fun" like using teen lingo with your teenage children.

Our health class didn't involve 8 ft. anything, but *did* involve our incredibly gorgeous Health teacher demonstrating condom use on a banana. It went the exact way you think it would.
