The Magic Year of 1984—Celebrating 40 years of Temple of Doom, Gremlins, Ghostbusters, and More!

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.

San Diego Comic-Con 2023 Recap: How was SDCC Without the Major Studios?

San Diego Comic-Con 2023 Recap: How was SDCC Without the Major Studios?

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?
