Take a voyage on the Yacht Rock Express! This is a rerun from last summer but we hope you enjoy it all the same!

Josh and Drew are still on vacation so here's one more rerun before they return next week to wrap up an eventful summer! In the meantime, they muse about some of the more eye-catching alien films and television shows of the 1980's. Enjoy!

Josh, Drew and Nick(!) pick up where their conversation left off last week and dive in to a full review of the 1984 Milos Forman classic, Amadeus. They determine the most memorable scene, what Mozart's mile time would probably be and how exactly to make Nipples of Venus. Plus lots of other fun facts. But they stop just short of one too many notes.

Drew, Josh and Nick hop in the time machine and travel back 36 years to 1984 to start talking Amadeus but what ends up happening is they spend way more time talking about some of the huge films from that year and who cleaned up at the Academy Awards the following year, (spoiler: Amadeus). But, alas, they ran out of time, so be sure come back next week for a full review of the film that made classical music cool again.
