The pop culture coverage in the August 1988 issue is a bit slighter than we’re used to, allowing us to get into nearly every bit of it. What Now tells us to get hype for The Fly II, Haunted Summer, and The Prince Of Pennsylvania, also mentioning in passing a comedy called Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, shrug. It also gets into John Stamos’s new haircut, a Europe member’s birthday, the unreleased Jon Cryer/Penelope Spheeris movie Dudes, the Amnesty International tour, and the dearth of women in heavy metal. Outside pop culture, we learn about “the crack” in the Sassy Glossary, and hunt down photos of the River Phoenix poster that the previous owners of our magazine copies obviously ripped out before selling them to us. To mix it up, the magazine gets a bevy of young stars it’s recently interviewed, or about to — including Alex Winter (twice), Paul Hipp, Alan Boyce, Johnny Depp, Annabeth Gish, and more — to serve as guest critics in Watch It and Listen Up. And finally, Christina does yeoman’s work in her write-around profile of an unavailable Lou Diamond Phillips. We hope YOU are available to listen!
These times are for the original edit of the episode and may shift due to dynamic ad inserts.
