  • Episode 100 - Top 10s of the 1980s - Part I
    Jan 2 2026

    Latch-Key Dads hits a major milestone with Episode 100—and they’re celebrating the only way they know how: a totally radical deep dive into the Top 10s of the 1980s.

    From iconic music and blockbuster movies to must-watch TV shows and Saturday-morning cartoons, Tim and Greg rewind to the decade that shaped their childhoods. Was G.I. Joe really the ultimate toy, or did Transformers roll out on top? When it comes to NES heroes, do you side with a mustachioed plumber or a hard-hitting boxer? And which cartoon truly ruled the airwaves—a toy-inspired classic or one backed by a very rich uncle?

    Dust off your Members Only jacket, grab a Capri Sun, and tune in to find out—because the 80s never go out of style.
