Movie of the Year: 1984Mixtape Part OneWe are making a mixtape of all the best 1984 jams in our 1984 Mixtape Part One!
Mixtapes are so important. But it could be argued that they were even more important in 1984. This was the time of the tape, baby. Cassets as far as the eye could see. To celebrate how important mixtapes were in 1984, we are doing something we almost never do except for every season: we are making a mixtape to celebrate a great year in music.
We only think about movies here on Movie of the Year (well, and sometimes years), and so we've been on top of highlighting all the great movies of 1984, but we would be remiss (a fireable offense here) not to mention that this might also be one of the best years in music history...wait, Music of the Y—nah, that'd never work.
However, a mixtape of the best 1984 tunes surely would, which is why we invited friends taylor and Nate to come get this done!

Movie of the Year: 1984Gremlins (with Nate)Can Gremlins transform into our 1984 Movie of the Year?
Picture a Gremlin. I'll wait. OK, so what you pictured was a Mogwai, which is why it's so important that we made this episode to help remind people of the particulars of Gremlins and the rules and such.
In 1984, we learned that mankind—and to a lesser extent, womankind (thanks for the misogyny, 1984!)—was not ready for the Mogwai yet. I am assuming after forty years, we have done what it takes to be worthy of these little guys. No?
We had to bring in friend of the show Nate to help us get to the heart of matters such as these. We also get into whether this movie might be better if one of the Gremlins was an elegant, sexual woman? Perhaps in a little Gremlin bikini? Let's run it up old the flagpole and see which Gremlins salute.

Movie of the Year: 1984Once Upon a Time in America (with Keith Phipps)Can Once Upon in America take the title of our 1984 Movie of the Year?
Once Upon a Time in America is a movie of epic scope even though it is the tale of small-time crooks trying to screw each other over to make it out of the gutter. (And one guy lives in Buffalo for like decades.) This contrast is just one of many artfully nestled into one of the harder watching experiences we've had on this show. And we've seen American Beauty. Multiple times. Ugh.
Joining us will be very special guest Keith Phipps, an actual writer with actual opinions on movies, unlike normal panelists Greg and Mike, dullards of the highest order. Keith has contributed to Rolling Stone, Slate, The Daily Beast, GQ, and The Verge, which c'mon that's cool. He is here to help us get into how this movie fits into the canon of great gangster movies. We will also discuss the special relationship between Noodles and Maxie before covering the often-upsetting, and very confusing, portrayal of romance and sexuality in the movie.
Be sure to check out Keith's upcoming book, The Age of Cage, a look at Hollywood through the singular cinematic experience that is Nicolas Cage. And check out Keith's podcast, The Next Picture Show!

Movie of the Year: 1984This Is Spinal TapCan This Is Spinal Tap rock its way to the title of our 1984 Movie of the Year?
This Is Spinal Tap put rock music on the map. Before this movie came out, no one was really sure what to make of this new music genre. Enter Spinal Tap. With hubris, unparalleled talent, and a penchant for dramatically losing drummers, Spinal Tap changed music, and the movie about them, This Is Spinal Tap, put the new band and their wholly original sound into the national conversation.
This movie is considered a classic of both rock and comedy, but does it actually rock? Is it actually funny? We've been known to take down classics before, so this might be another time where we speak truth to power.
Coming up this season we have some of the most fun movies we've covered and some of the most amazing guests we've ever hosted. Stay tuned, everyone, because things are just getting started.

Movie of the Year: 1984Repo ManCan Repo Man take the title of our 1984 Movie of the Year?
In the early 80’s, UCLA film student Alex Cox wanted to move from student films to features. Remaking his student film by the same name, Repo Man would have a budget of 500 grand and be filled with punk rockers. Enter Michael Nesmith, everyone's least favorite Monkee. At the time, Nesmith’s pockets were flush with that sweet liquid paper money, so he, along with universal, decided to turn Repo Man into a real movie. Well…as real as it turned out to be.
Repo Man tells the story of Otto, a young punk who has nothing going for him in post-apocalyptic Edge City. The apocalypse here, however, doesn’t come after a bomb has dropped, or zombies have attacked. This is after the apocalypse created by voting in conservatives (boo; furthermore, hiss). Otto takes a job as a repo man, and suddenly has a purpose, a mentor, and a girlfriend. Everything would probably end slightly less than fine if it wasn’t for a Chevy Malibu barreling towards our characters.
