December 1984 & January 1985: ThunderCats, Terminator & the Smack Heard 'Round the World

Nostalgia Junkies

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.
