Update: 2015-10-16

Description

History of Awesome is an epic 38-part trip down memory lane - each episode we're covering a new year's most important, influential, or just-plain-awesome movies, games, TV shows, comics, and more.

Up next is 1984. The Gremlins and Ghostbusters blended the horror and comedy genres, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom took us to India, and the Transformers made their TV debut.

Other discussion topics include King's Quest, Neuromancer, and Secret Wars.
