He talked to me about the lessons we can take from some of your favorite movies from the 80s like "Coming to America," "The Outsiders," "The Breakfast Club," "Pretty in Pink" and so much more! We also got to talk about which fashions need to NOT come back from the 80s and which movies from the decade are overrated and underrated.
