It is no secret around these airwaves that I like me some ‘80s music, and something that almost matches that for me are ‘80s movies.
Jake Rudh's Day Off: tracing the films of John HughesWell, this week on the show, I'm combining both and spotlighting songs used in ‘80s flicks. You're gonna hear jams that went on to become stone-cold classics and others that flew completely under the radar. It's all about the hits and misses in ‘80s music and movies this week on the program hope you can join me.
