-->--''WebVideo/OSWReview'' on ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} 2''

->"We have a deep sense of shame in our culture now. In a world where privacy is less and less tangible, we've become too ashamed of our own personalities to share too much of them, afraid we'll be made fun of or guilted in some way. The 80s never had that problem, and I believe that's why people cling to it as the last bastion of great entertainment even if they're too young to [[NostalgiaFilter remember most of the decade]]. It was a time when movies like ''Film/TheRunningMan'' or ''Film/{{Commando}}'' could exist without having to [[AsideGlance break the fourth wall]] or make a [[{{Deconstruction}} pointed statement about action movie tropes]] in order to get away with their own bullshit."

->''Presumably, all of this obscene wealth concentration in the hands of a tiny oligarchy [[RedScare is for everyone's good.]] At least that's what we were told the beginning of the Reagan Revolution, and what we've come to implicitly, almost genetically believe in the years since, as all challenges to the Reaganomics theory have been squeezed out of the mainstream discourse.''
