GUYS NIGHT takes place in 1985. Life in the 1980s was vibrant and untethered. It was a time when freedom felt tangible; riding bikes miles from home until the streetlights turned on and parents shouted for us to come in for dinner. It was a world before digital filters, where friendships were made in person, notes were passed in class, and Saturday mornings were reserved for the sacred ritual of cartoons on TV and sugary cereal. We shared in the joys of creating mixtapes on cassette decks, carefully capturing songs off the radio while hoping the DJ wouldn't talk over the intro. We hung out at the mall where the smell of hot pretzels infused the air. And movies! Movies were huge in the 80s; going to the multiplex and sharing a large popcorn was the gold standard for date nights.

Remember the 80s?
