The year is 1984... Mikey and d$ were kids... Dr Earl was a young dude. And Aussie Nate wasn't even born... but it was a very, very good year!  Its the second week of our Summer Series as we look back at many years past, and the greatest movies from those years... and today, we invite in Friend of the Show Aussie Nate, who picks the year 1984. 

 

When we did our Greatest Movie Year Tourney back in the day, 1984 was the winner and this year is stacked! From fake band mockumentarys to movies that are pretty much be canceled to Indy trilogy to Axel Foley's first appearance to Daniel Sahn's first appearance (and did Johnny actually win? or cheat?) and the trouble with not feeding them after midnight, plus multiple Toxie movies and a neverending franchise, and the truth about Scotty Schwartz and Kidco...  Next week!  2000!!
