Welcome to a new episode of Return to the ’80s! This Valentine’s Day week, the gang talks about their ’80s crushes and ’80s ballads. This is sort of a sequel to Episode 10 from 2017, which did not include ballads, and an #80sCrushes Crossover event from that same week. Please comment below with you’re favorite crushes and ballads. In addition, feel free to check out frequent collaborator, Gill’s crushes at Real Weegie Midget Reviews and her adoration for J.R. Ewing.
