1987: The Golden Age of Deregulation

by Adam Thas
Even though we weren’t aware of it at the time for many of us kids of the 80s, 1987 marked the end of a major part of our childhood. However, every story has a beginning. This one began with Reagan.

Take Two: Masters of the Universe

by Patrick Bromley
I must not have been the most discerning of 10-year olds, because at one point in my life I thought Masters of the Universe was a pretty ok movie. That's weird, because it's not as though I liked every movie I saw at age 10. 1987 was the same year I saw Spaceballs and didn't like it at all, and it was the one first-run movie my family saw that year. We were supposed to see Harry and the Hendersons (though I really wanted to see Predator), which I saw on video several months later and really didn't like either. That movie is still terrible and anyone who likes it shouldn't be trusted. I'm serious. What I'm saying is that I did have some sort of shit detector even at 10, and for some reason the He-Man movie didn't set it off.
