Chasing the Eighties - Spencer Austin

Chasing the Eighties is a journey of cure and healing: a trip under the skin of what the eighties mean to not only those who grew up in them, but those from other generations who've likewise been snared by the Goonies, the Ghostbusters, and the Guttenberg. Surely,more than 100locations and 25 interviews with film and TV stars will dampen those nostalgic twinges once and for all! From the Police Academy building to breakfast with The A-Team's Murdoch to beers with Chunk from The Goonies?the authors of this exciting bookdid the lot. They ate omelettes with Louis Gosset Jr. after shaving their heads and spending the night at the Officer and a Gentleman barracks; met Bubba Smith (Hightower in Police Academy), played football against a vampire hunter from The Lost Boys, were taught the Karate Kid "crane kick" by its creator and recreated "that" moment in the very seats Harry and Sally lunched in. They even saw Rusty from National Lampoon's European Vacationmake a fool of himselfand witnessed Breakfast Club teacher Paul Gleason proclaim the movie as just "kinda silly."
