Summary
Travel back to 1984, one of the most iconic years in pop culture history. In this episode, we welcome back Def Dave and draft the very best movies, music, and TV that defined the year. From blockbuster hits like Ghostbusters and The Terminator to chart-dominating albums like Purple Rain , we debate what truly deserves a first-round pick. On the TV side, we revisit classics like The Cosby Show and Miami Vice — the shows that shaped the decade’s style and sound. Expect nostalgia, spirited arguments, surprise picks, and plenty of ‘80s love as we choose the definitive pop culture of 1984. Who had the best drafts? And what did we totally miss?
