On this episode of Latch-Key Dads, Tim and Greg fire up a new game: they asked AI to generate wild and weird off-base summaries of iconic 1980s movies — then put their nostalgia to the test trying to guess the titles.

Dust off your leg warmers, rewind your brain, and press play — there’s only one way to find out if you’ve still got that retro movie magic.
