S4E25: Red Dawn Region 7v10 (Pork'/'lins)
<p>Today’s films are both about things that get catastrophically out of hand. </p><p>In one corner: Gremlins, the 1984 horror-comedy that was so disturbingly violent for a PG rating that it directly caused the MPAA to create the PG-13 rating. </p><p>In the other corner: Porky’s, the terribly shitty 1982 sex comedy set in 1954 Florida, that is as boring as it is stupid. </p><p>There’s no question which movie is better. Which one is MORE 80s? Vote below!</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

S4E24: Red Dawn Region 3v14 (War/Brothers)
<p>This week on the 80s-est: two films about what happens when you accidentally start something you can’t stop. </p><p>In one corner: WarGames, the 1983 Cold War thriller in which a teenage hacker breaks into NORAD’s military computer and starts a game of Global Thermonuclear War that inadvertently puts America’s defenses on the brink of WWIII. </p><p> In the other corner: The Blues Brothers, John Landis’s 1980 musical comedy in which Jake and Elwood Blues get out of prison and decide to put the band back together in order to save the orphanage where they grew up. </p><p>One is a quintessential 80s selection, the other a classic that happened to occur in the 80s. Which one is MORE 80s? Vote below!</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

S4E23: Red Dawn Region 6v11 (All the Right /Stripes)
<p>Two films about young men trying to figure out what they want — just with very different levels of seriousness. </p><p>In one corner: Stripes, Ivan Reitman’s 1981 military comedy that turned Bill Murray into a movie star, and gave John Candy his breakout film role. </p><p>In the other corner: All the Right Moves, the 1983 Tom Cruise drama about a Rust Belt high school football player and his coach who want the same escape from the same dying town and keep getting in each other’s way. (Editor’s note, this is the worst depiction of football in the many dozens of football movies I have seen.)</p><p>Which one is MORE 80s?
