1988: Die Hard, Akira, and Mario 2

Update: 2015-10-26

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 1987. The The Nintendo Entertainment System received high-profile sequels like Super Mario Bros. 2 and The Legend of Zelda II, anime began its U.S. takeover with Akira and Grave of the Fireflies, and Die Hard changed action movies forever.

Other topics of discussion include Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Beetlejuice, Bionic Commando, and V for Vendetta.
