S4E19: Red Dawn Region 8v9 (Dark/Fame)

from The 80s-est · host The 80s-est

Round two of the Red Dawn Region, and it’s puppets vs. performing arts kids. In one corner: The Dark Crystal, Jim Henson and Frank Oz’s 1982 fantasy epic — every character a puppet, no humans on screen, timeless. In the other corner, Fame, the 1980 musical drama that won two Oscars, launched a TV series, a remake, and a stage musical. Two cult favorites, two very different fanbases. Which one is MORE 80s?
