Strap on your legwarmers and take a trip back to 1984 with this episode of Nostalgia Junkies! We're diving deep into the pop culture archives, revisiting everything from the iconic debut of ThunderCats to the controversial "Smack Heard 'Round the World" (see video here).
In our This or That segment, sponsored by Throwback Buys (use code NJPod for 15% off!), we're debating classic tech like Pac-Man vs. Donkey Kong arcade games and Walkman vs. Discman. Plus, we'll settle the score once and for all: Terminator or RoboCop?
Get ready for a nostalgia overload as we explore the December 1984 movie scene with Beverly Hills Cop, Dune, and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. We'll also reminisce about favorite TV shows like the premiere of Crazy Like a Fox, and the farewell of Captain Kangaroo, Pryor's Place, and Pooh's Corner.
And of course, it wouldn't be 1984 without some musical magic! We'll revisit the release of Foreigner's "Agent Provocateur," featuring the iconic "I Wanna Know What Love Is," later covered by Wynonna Judd and Mariah Carey. We'll also celebrate the launch of VH1 and the global phenomenon, "We Are the World" by USA for Africa.

Get ready for a blast from the past on this episode of Nostalgia Junkies! We kick things off with some exciting news: Paramount is officially developing a new Power Rangers movie, and we're diving deep into the ultimate fan casting, featuring our dream team from Cobra Kai.
Next, we tackle the age-old debate in our This or That segment, brought to you by Throwback Buys (use code NJPod for 15% off your order!). We pit Pokemon against Digimon, Sunny D against Tang, and Street Fighter II against Mortal Kombat – the results might surprise you!
But the real meat of this episode lies in a deep dive into the legendary game developer, Rareware. We explore their incredible history, from their humble beginnings with Battletoads and Beetlejuice to their groundbreaking work on the SNES with Donkey Kong Country. We'll discuss the rise and fall of their iconic franchises, including Banjo-Kazooie and Conker, and delve into the controversial Microsoft acquisition.
And to top it all off, we're ranking the ultimate 90s snacks: think Hi-C Ecto Cooler, Bubble Jug, 3D Doritos, and so much more.
