Between shows like Netflix’s Stranger Things, and the upcoming 1980s setting for the Transformers Bumblebee spinoff, it is pretty clear that the Reagan era is in vogue.
Legends of Tomorrow is about to step up to the plate, and we cannot wait to see how “Phone Home” ultimately plays out when the show returns this fall.
One could easily argue that there’s no better time for a show like Legends of Tomorrow to embrace a classic 1980s movie like E.T., since nostalgia for the 1980s has defined pop culture for the last few years, and now seems like the perfect opportunity to strike while the iron is hot.
