CB - Though I wasn't born until three years before they were over, the 80s is a fun decade to look back on. The hair, the clothes, the music and the movies are all so ridiculous, but it all has a very special kind of charm. Earlier this year, Hot Tub Time Machine was the movie that tried to make us all nostalgic for those lost years, and it looks as though Take Me Home Tonight will fill that role in 2011.

Aaron, Daniel and Luke are back for another exciting edition of the SYDCaST, though Daniel does leave half-way through… What a dick. Anyhoo, many things are discussed this week, such as FIFA 12′s new streaking mode, the awesome sounds of the Gears of War baddies and we also answer some listener questions!
Matt (Topher Grace – That 70’s Show) is a former MIT student who is now working at Suncoast Video whilst he figures out what he wants to do with his life. Then one day at work, his life-long high school crush Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer – I Am Number Four) comes in to do some shopping. Pretending to be a successful investment banker, Matt hits it off with Tori and soon gets invited along to a party – one where Matt can finally tell her how much he loves her. But can he keep the charade going for long enough to let Tori really know what a great guy he is? Thankfully he has help in the form of his twin sister Wendy (Anna Faris – Scary Movie) who is deciding whether to move to England or not and Matt’s best friend Barry (Dan Fogler – Fanboys) who has just been fired from his job as a car salesman.
Wilson of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Topher Grace plays Matt Franklin, a college graduate who has no idea what he is going to do with his life. He works at Sun Coast video, so he has that going for him. Matt has no motivation to do anything with his life but reminisce on missed opportunities. That being said, he notices his high school crush Tori Fredercking, played by Teresa Palmer, approaching the store. Naturally, Matt ditches out the back door and tosses his work clothes and re-enters Sun Coast nonchalantly. They start chatting and catching up on their lives. In the works, Matt stretches the truth a little, telling Tori he is works at Goldman Sachs. The show moves on after they plan on meeting up at a party later in the night."
