698: 'Rad' Gets Re-Released

Mar 17, 2024

Aren't you glad the 1986 BMX movie is called "Rad" instead of its original title "Balls Out?" Hey, it's a great SEO term - just 40 years too early. We honor the movie, which will be re-released for one night in theaters on March 21.

The 2025 lineup of The 80s Cruise is now available and includes Adam Ant, Squeeze, Christopher Cross, Men at Work and Andy Bell of Erasure. Stay tuned for a special promo code. For more information, go to www.the80scruise.com.
