Retrosexual: The '80s: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

This five-hour mini-series is all about what was sexy during the "Me Decade" of the 1980s. People love nostalgia. They also love sex. Retrosexual: The '80s takes these two cornerstones of culture and finally puts them together. Whether it's film, TV, music, fashion, sports, politics or advertising, they pull back the curtain and sneak a peak at all the titillating, fun-filled and steamy moments that made the decade hotter than exercise video spandex. As they look back at an era before ubiquitous thongs and Internet porn, they note that what is commonplace today was often groundbreaking and scandalous back then. Each hour is themed - Teen Sex, Taboos, Hotties, Turn-Ons and Sex Sells - and features an eclectic mix of interviews with pop culture personas, '80s stars, sexperts and fun-loving comedians. It's all driven by sexed-up visuals, archival footage, '80s music, enlightening voice over and cutting-edge graphics.
