S2 E16: The Gift That Keeps on Givin’

from 80s Show Podcast Hosted by Damian Raffele + Bill Lassiter

This week, Damian and Bill unwrap 🎁 the most 80s Christmas tradition 🎄 of all: being wildly over-promised and spectacularly under-delivered. From Christmas Vacation’s legendary bonus bait-and-switch to the toys 🧸 we circled in the Sears Wish Book like tiny, trusting fools, the guys revisit the gifts that defined our childhoods and the corporate generosity that absolutely did not. It’s a holiday deep dive into wishful thinking, plastic dreams, and why the 80s somehow turned Christmas into a loud, shiny exercise in emotional damage. Ho ho ho.
