We ran so far away, but we just couldn’t get away from the ’80s music! Time warp back to the Reagan-era tonight at the “Lost ’80s Live” concert, featuring the bands A Flock of Seagulls (pictured, believe it or not), Wang Chung, Naked Eyes, Animotion, the Romantics, and more — each of which had at least one giant hit during the 1980s.

That’s gold!
The Brooklyn Cyclones will become the Brooklyn Seinclones for the fifth annual Seinfeld Night! Look for an appearance by Steve Hytner, who played Jerry’s nemesis Kenny Bania on the show about nothing, and show up early to score the season’s greatest freebie: a talking Keith Hernandez alarm clock, which will gently rouse fans by saying “I’m Keith Hernandez! And I hope you have a great day, pretty boy.”

Putin on airs
No one wants to re-live the 2016 election, but you can get a whole new perspective on the contentious contest in “Our New President.” The funny but disturbing documentary shows the election as it was portrayed by state-controlled Russian news media, who painted Hillary Clinton as a mentally deficient mass murderer, and Trump as a large-handed aristocrat.
