Back to ’85: The Year Movies Peaked?
Episode 5
Tuesday, 11 November, 2025

Send a FanMail to the GenX Stories gang via text message!The movies turning 40 in 2025 are aging like fine wine (or like us, depending on the lighting). Between the first Blockbuster store opening to the massive number of films appearing in theatres that year, let’s face it - 1985 ruined us for anything else. From The Breakfast Club to Back to the Future to Brazil to Cocoon the whole podcast crew is revisiting the classic 80's films we loved (and duh, still do). Some may call it a cinematic midlife crisis, but we call it awesome. So pass the popcorn (and the ibuprofen).Episode links10 Classic Movies Celebrating A Major Anniversary In 2025Movies Turning 40 In 20251985 in filmFirst Blockbuster store opensThe Dawn of Unlimited Entertainment: How Blockbuster Changed ViewersThe Rise and Fall of Blockbuster: A Look Back at VHS Rental CultureI remember doing the Time Warp: The 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' turns 50Connect with usSubscribe to GenX Stories in your favorite podcast appBuy some kickass merchWrite us a reviewVisit our siteJoin our Facebook Group
