Welcome to another edition of The Weekly Links, your weekly source for the best '80s content on the web! There were some great stories this week featured on RD80s including set photos from Pee-Wee's new movie and details on the Full House spinoff.
I also had a chance to post some original content this week like exploring a teaser trailer for The Empire Strikes Back and discovering a video game mashup of Mario and Excitebike. I also resurrected the Retro80s Soundcloud Sampler if you're looking for some new free music. Also check out some of the freebies and deals I posted this week on books, collectibles, and more.
My favorite video this week was a recreation of the new Batman vs. Superman trailer. Use the soundtrack from the video, we instead get to see Adam West and Christopher Reeve footage! I loved watching reruns of Batman '66 and Reeve's films were my first introduction to superheroes so I really enjoyed this mashup.
