Back to the 80's

Back the the 80's is the fourth episode of Twilight Zone: The Next Era.

Opening
At 22 Oak Street, there is a big disturbance. Mr. Stephen Weaver, an avid lover of the 80's, has been bugged by his two kids about playing a popular video game with them, being forced to listen to their music blasted from their rooms, and them watching R-rated slapstick movies. He yearns to go back to his favorite time period, but instead, he ends up in...The Twilight Zone.

Plot
Stephen Weaver, an author, has grown up from his favorite time period, the 1980s. He spent every day going to school, and on weekends and summers, he listened to his favorite songs on his Walkman, got in line for blockbuster films like Back to the Future and Ghostbusters, and went to the arcade with his friends. It was his glory days.

Now in 2017, Stephen has a loving wife, but his two sons drive him crazy. His sons spend all day playing Fortnite, Snapchatting and Instagramming, watching R-rated movies, and listening to dirty raps. Stephen can't stand it, and tries to bond with his sons, but they ignore him. This drives Stephen to madness.

One night, Stephen confronts his sons about having a tech free weekend, but his sons are on Instagram the next day. Stephen goes to the nearby bar and drowns his sorrows in booze. The bartender tells Stephen of a little trick he learned about how to travel in time. It only works at night, so Stephen wishes to take him and his sons to the 80's.

(Opening)

Stephen awakens the next day and sees that his calendar says March, 1984. Stephen is thrilled. He gets his sons up and tells them it's time for school. The boys can't find their phones, and Stephen tells them there are no phones, just imaginations. The boys panic, and Stephen drives them to the school he went to. He is surprised to find out his boys are already enrolled.
