In PART TWO of our look at the movies of 1984, we spotlight films that are still churning out sequels and nostalgia to this day, including The Terminator ("I'll be back!"), psycho killer Freddy Krueger, a mermaid love story, and so many more movies in that magical year. So join us as we continue back to the time of big hair, leg warmers, Thriller... and Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liners.

1984 was a pivotal year in pop culture—it gave us the LA Olympics, Purple Rain, and Apple Macintosh. But it was also an incredible time for movies, giving us fan-favorite classics that still hold up today, such as Gremlins, Karate Kid, Star Trek 3, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and more! 1984 was the true Revenge of the Nerds at the Box Office.

Marvel is the biggest film franchise of all time, having grossed almost $30 billion at the global box office. But with a lackluster performance these past few years—both in theaters and on Disney+—many have asked if the Studio has lost its direction. Are the glory days of Marvel in the past? With Deadpool 3's trailer breaking records, and excitement building around 2024 and beyond, we take a look at where Marvel is now, and if they're poised to regain their box-office and pop culture crown.

Percy Jackson is on a dangerous quest. Outrunning monsters and outwitting gods, he must journey across America to return Zeus’ master bolt and stop an all-out war. Based on the best-selling book series, the Disney+ show is among the top five most-watched season premieres in all of 2023. It masterfully weaves together ancient Greek mythology and contemporary settings. On this episode, THE CON GUY dives into all things Percy Jackson—the series, the books, and even the films.

The Studios didn’t come. The writers didn’t show up. And the actors, for the most part, stayed away—pop culture watchers and pundits predicted a Comic-Con apocalypse. They said fans would revolt. Attendance would drop off. Hotels would be canceled. They predicted this would be the Comic-Con that never was…. Were they right? Or, like the Grinch, did they see that even without all the bright, shiny spectacles, that Comic-Con came anyway?

With most of the major studios skipping San Diego Comic-Con because of the impending writers and actor strikes, this year might be a tad quieter than some of the most recent years. But don't fret! With the full schedule revealed, we dive in and bring you the best, coolest panels not to mis this year! ALSO, we talk with Tony Kim about his panels, merch, and a cool new offsite.
