Hello, hello and welcome to 8 for the '80s! In
this column, we'll be sharing eight topical links, videos, and memes
from the worlds of film, music, television, celebrity, art, toys,
fashion, technology, pop culture, and beyond, all filtered through a
totally bitchin' '80s perspective.
4. On a related note, the clip embedded below traces the history of 8-bit
art from its genesis in the late '70s to its resurgence today as a go-to
medium for contemporary designers and musicians.
5. The retro recreationists at
Found Item
Clothing have released their second t-shirt of the year, the
Crossbow Project shirt. Yoked around a Real Genius (1985) reference
(that makes 6 such tees now!), the design pays tribute to the fictional
weapon of the same name that appears early in the film's conspiratorial
prologue.
9. Bonus entry: the Wyld Stallyns meet the Ex-Presidents in Break The
Bank, a faux trailer with '80s accents developed by Portland
filmmaker Brett Roberts for a
film comp
sponsored by Bad Ass
Digest. Exercise your constitutional rights and
