On this episode of Latch-Key Dads, Tim and Greg do a deep dive into August of 1985. The music was bumping, the movies were instant classics, and you could waste your entire summer watching some of the best sitcoms ever televised. Michael J. Fox – check!  Phil Collins – check!  Tina Turner – check! Pee Wee Herman – check! Mr. T – check! August of 1985 had it all. In fact, the month was so good that we had to split it into 2 episodes!
