Today, we’re taking flight into the metal-feathered, laser-blasting world of SilverHawks! Premiering in 1986, SilverHawks came from the same creative minds that gave us ThunderCats — and you can tell. It was part superhero, part space opera, and all ‘80s awesome. The story followed a team of half-human, half-cyborg heroes with wings of steel and hearts of gold, who patrolled the galaxy to stop the villainous Mon*Star and his intergalactic gang of baddies.

With its shiny animation style, rock-and-roll theme song, and a toy line that had every kid begging for a figure with real “metallic” armor, SilverHawks was a cosmic blast of action and adventure. It may not have soared quite as high in popularity as its ThunderCats cousins, but for those of us who watched, it left a lasting mark — part nostalgia, part space-age daydream.

So strap on those metal wings, True Believers, and get ready to rocket through the galaxy of memories. This episode, we’re shining a spotlight on the one, the only… SilverHawks!

Today, we’re phoning home to talk about one of the most magical — and heartwarming — films of the ‘80s: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.

Released in 1982 and directed by Steven Spielberg, E.T. told the story of a lonely boy named Elliott who befriends a stranded alien and helps him find his way home. But E.T. was so much more than a sci-fi story — it was a film about friendship, wonder, and believing in something bigger than yourself. It captured the innocence of childhood in a way that still hits us right in the feels today.

From glowing fingertips to flying bicycles silhouetted against the moon, E.T. became an instant classic that defined an era — and let’s be real, it also made Reese’s Pieces a Halloween candy legend. Between the trick-or-treat scenes, the heart-tugging goodbyes, and that unforgettable John Williams score, E.T. remains one of the purest pieces of movie magic ever made.

So whether you’re out collecting candy, carving pumpkins, or just want to relive a little of that wide-eyed wonder, this one’s for you. Get ready to light up the sky with nostalgia — because tonight, we’re phoning home to 1982 for a Halloween journey with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,

Today, we’re putting on our helmets and activating our hidden weapons, because we're diving headfirst into the world of M.A.S.K.! That's right, Mobile Armored Strike Kommand—the franchise that combined everything we loved about action-packed cartoons with transforming vehicles, secret missions, and helmets that did way more than protect your noggin.

Launched in the mid-'80s, M.A.S.K. followed the adventures of Matt Trakker and his elite squad of heroes as they battled the sinister organization known as V.E.N.O.M.—the Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem (seriously, how great were '80s acronyms?). With toys that transformed from everyday cars and motorcycles into heavily-armed battle machines, M.A.S.K. captured our imaginations, emptied our parents' wallets, and made us all secretly hope our own family station wagon might suddenly sprout wings and missiles.

So, buckle up, rev up the engines, activate the masks, and dive into the covert, high-octane world of M.A.S.K. — right here on RadioWayne’s One to Grow On!
