History of Awesome is an epic 38-part trip down memory lane - each episode we're covering a new year's most important, influential, or just-plain-awesome movies, games, TV shows, comics, and more.
Up next is 1990. Games like Final Fantasy and Super Mario Bros. 3 kept the NES alive, while movies like Total Recall kept the action genre as big as ever.
Other topics of discussion include Goodfellas, Twin Peaks, and The Secret of Monkey Island.
