Show notes

This week on REWIND, we're talking about everything from Rain Man to Rambo III, from Who Framed Roger Rabbit to Working Girl, and from Big to Beetlejuice. Pete talks to New York Times Senior Staff Editor Aisha Harris. They discuss the good and bad of the movies of 1988, including Working Girl, Coming To America, and one of her guilty pleasures from that year, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. Pete and Adam also chime in. They talk Tom Cruise's jump the shark moment, while Pete gives a blow by blow account of the train wreck that was the 1989 Oscars opening number, when Rob Lowe danced with Snow White and changed the Oscars telecast forever.
