Welcome to another edition of The Weekly Links, your weekly source for the best '80s content on the web! Hope everyone enjoys the extended Labor Day weekend. The Weekly Links will take a break next week as I'll be traveling to Retro Con 2015! I'm really looking forwarded to meeting some of the online 80s community for the first time and also checking out the cosplay and collectibles. I'll still be posting content next week and will hopefully be able to put together a couple wrap-up posts the following week.
In case you missed it, here's a few things I posted this week:
- Here's How To Build Your Own Ghostbusters Trap Prop (Video)
- Netflix '80s Fix: Rambo And The Masters Of The Monster Squad
- Watch This Insane Music Video Tribute To Patrick Swayze (VIDEO)
- 34 Times Celebrities Made Cameo Appearances In '80s Music Videos
- Phil Collins Recreates Album Covers For Reissue Campaign
My favorite video this week was an easy call. Sonic the Hedgehog is a little 90s for this site, but add a mixture of keytar and you have the perfect '80s touch! Thanks to Kotaku this week, I witnessed a modern day retrogaming version of Jan Hammer shred the Green Hill Zone theme!
