One of the worst episodes ever and I've seen all seasons...just skip to the last 5 min and watch the preview for the next one. Or rewatch episode 6 - seriously it wasn't funny, to me anyways, and it tried WAY too hard to be.
One of the weakest episode of this show and definitely the worst of the season. There was no coherence in the episode things just happened and I get that they're doing a "80's episode" and of course the comedy bits they gonna do is outdated but I still mehed and might even cringed at some cliche haha momets.
At least the gore scenes and the excessive blood shower scenes was kinda funny and cool.
This episode felt like it was written by some amateurs because it's nothing like the brilliant writing of previous seasons especially season 4.
But hey, at least with the last scene we know the kidnapping plot line from prev episode wasn't pointless and du,mb.
Al in all I'm disappointed with this episode they kinda sacrificed substance and good material over style. Hope next episodes are good and the finale don't disappoint.

Ok so I would understand younger people not getting some of the references. But as someone that saw 80's movies back in the 80's they did a great job. I'm liking the whole way the episodes this season are staged in the style of the time they're in.
I know earlier seasons were quite serious but it's a refreshing break to see them not taking it too seriously. Good to see them taking chances and being creative.

Up until this episode, Deke was no where near my top 20 list of favorite characters. But his character has redeemed himself (some) after having a whining third wheel feel through the previous season.
As far as the 80s references go, if you don't laugh at least once then you are either too young to remember the 80s or have never watched an 80s movie in your life.
Yes a lot 80s movies are cheesy by today's standards, but you gotta love how they hit every 80s genre possible in this episode. This was truly fun to watch.

I feel behind the times because I didn't start popping my collar until 1989-90. But what this episode is, is a very comprehensive snapshot of 80s culture, to the extreme. I can't even think of a movie or cultural touchstone they left out (maybe D&D? royalties). So this episode was a frantic patchwork of 80s cliches which was done so well, you didn't even have time to absorb the story (which was good itself). I think all modern kids should watch this to understand the 80s. It's more accurate than Stranger Things and more fun!
