“A remarkable array of talking heads wax lyrical about what they loved about the releases that year and make an impressive argument to the doc’s raison d’etre.” – Martin Unswroth, Starburst.

If you’re missing your own childhood just a little bit and want to remind yourself that yes, 1982 was great, this documentary is unmissable.” – Ryan Britt, Fatherly.

“A time capsule, capturing a synchronic cross-section of movie history, while also mapping out the formative filmography of Generation X.” – Anton Bitel, Projected Figures.

“This remarkable epic documentary spotlights the pop culture milestones of 1982, including notable motion pictures, TV, music, and video games of that seminal year.” – Joseph Perry, The Good, The Bad & The Verdict.
