I too visited Australia in the late nineties when in the military. I was a Marine deployed on the USS Peleliu. We ported in Darwin, and that’s where I first saw Titanic.
That's so cool! I was on the USS Blue Ridge and we went to Darwin as well! Hey, the Peleliu and the Blue Ridge took similar. Maybe because they are both amphibs. Thanks for hanging out with us shipmate! -Jamie
Dude........big fan of the series........but, I'm not gonna lie......... I was HIGHLY anticipating this one, but was SUPER disappointed. No mention at all of Eddie And The Cruisers, The Outsiders, The Big Chill..... Didn't National Lampoon's Vacation come out in 1983? I think cult classic The Legend Of Billie Jean came out that year too! This was a pivotal year in my childhood!
Sorry to disappoint. Summarizing the whole of 1983 with an old school Domino's 30 minutes or less guarantee... bound to leave some things out. I will agree though James that leaving National Lampoon's Vacation out was unforgivable! We'll be sure to do a podcast retrospective on the Vacation series for you when we return to our regularly scheduled programming in January. Thanks for hanging out with us!

OMG.......A Christmas Story!!!!! This was my childhood, lol!!!!! Cujo!!! The Right Stuff!!!! Man, you totally need to do a 1983 part 2, lol!
Yeah, 1983 can have a miniseries of its own right?!
Been waiting for this one!!!! 1983 was such a great year! I got an Atari 5200 and loved it! My cousin had the 2600 but the 5200 was SO much better!!!!
I remember the 2600 but forgot all about the 5200 until you mentioned it! That's something I'll have to write about on our articles page! -Jamie
The year I was born. Good year.
This was a good year to be born Jason!
