S4E25: Red Dawn Region 7v10 (Pork'/'lins)

Today’s films are both about things that get catastrophically out of hand. In one corner: Gremlins, the 1984 horror-comedy that was so disturbingly violent for a PG rating that it directly caused the MPAA to create the PG-13 rating. In the other corner: Porky’s, the terribly shitty 1982 sex comedy set in 1954 Florida, that is as boring as it is stupid. There’s no question which movie is better. Which one is MORE 80s? Vote below!
