Most Messed Up Movies of 1984

Ghostbusters. Gremlins. The Terminator. A Nightmare on Elm Street. 1984 gave us an absurd lineup of movies, and we're fighting over who gets the best four. For this Friday draft, we lift the banned list and revisit the birth year of most of the crew. Sam takes over hosting, Griffey attempts to impersonate Sam, and Sophia teams up with Griffey as "Sophie's Choice." Heath somehow has to draft between all of that. We debate the horror hiding inside Ghostbusters and The Terminator, the childhood trauma of The NeverEnding Story, the nastiness of The Toxic Avenger and why Temple of Doom goes so much harder than a family adventure probably should. Heath also makes a case for Brian De Palma's Body Double, whether anyone will listen or not. Plus: Freddy vs. Jason as draft picks, Christmas horror domination, and Sam's questionable new authority to hand out Fireball penalties. Who built the strongest four-movie lineup: Sam, Heath, or Griffey and Sophia? Vote in the comments and tell us your first pick from 1984. Spoilers for several films discussed.
