  1. Now that is some 80s fashion. Interesting to see modern movies set in the 70s or 80s don’t actually get it accurate but a modern interpretation of it.

  2. Funny cos most is true. On set many extras discuss past experiences…. as it’s a common thread. Though in my experience the food is much better than depicted!!!
