As a nine year old, I watched too many horror films too soon. Many did not scary me, but those that featured a burned child molester with razors for fingers who stalked and killed you in your dreams may have been one step too far. I remember watching this in my basement by myself on…

Saturday Night Live
Saturday Night Live has been a staple for American culture for about the last 45 years. It has allowed the nation to poke fun at itself as well as hold our entertainers, celebrities, and politicians accountable for their behavior and antics. Even through tragedy, they have allowed us to laugh. Growing up, if I was…
Urban Legend: The Film
Ending the week on a “freaky” note is a great way to go into the weekend. Take some time tonight to re-watch this classic 90’s horror film. What happens when a killer starts basing all their killings on urban legends. Well, let’s just say that Tara Reid doesn’t last long. Enjoy the original ending and…
Down at the Roundhouse!
Nothing gave me more enjoyment than singing this theme song…”Whenever my life gets me so down, I know I can go down…to where the music and the fun never ends…” What can you not like about a group of 20-somethings doing sketch comedy on a stage that rotates improvising with homemade props teaching lessons that…
Back to School at South Hampton Institute of Technology
Haven’t you always wanted to create your own school? In this comedy, one of Justin Long and Jonah Hill’s first movies, Justin’s character gathers all those who were not accepted in a myriad of ways and starts his own college to hide the fact that he was not accepted to an higher education institution. Watching…
80’s TV Theme Songs Challenge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLcpkol0SKQ On this Monday back at work make sure you take time to bond with/challenge your coworkers to a theme-off. How many of these theme songs from the 80’s can you name? You know you want to beat, Karen, from four cubicles over. I’m coming for you, Karen.
I Am Spartacus…
In light of the Supreme Court hearings this week, I thought it appropriate to post about the epic drama, Spartacus, starring Kirk Douglas. In the film, in order to support someone that will fall for their actions, others different than Spartacus assume responsibility with him by saying his name as their own. Have you ever…
Captain Caveman!
What a time to be alive where you can purchase your favorite cartoon! I know that I would stay up late just to watch reruns of this cartoon as it wasn’t the most popular at the time but I know holds a spot in everyone’s heart, especially when he yells, “Captain Caveman!” Enjoy the entire…
Fashion of the 70s
Ya’ll, this is not coming back, it’s already here. What wild clothes lived in this era of Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, Jacqueline Bisset, and many others. Would you want to wear these? I’m still one the fence. Thought you all would simply enjoy this post and to think about a different time.
Golden Girls are Golden Comedy
The word nostalgia means Golden Girls for me. Whether it was watching the show in real-time with my Grandma at her home in Lincoln, NE or watching reruns after school while doing chores or even currently late night viewing helping me laugh as I go to sleep, the Golden Girls was a trailblazer in the…
Hold a Laugh-In this Week!
A nightly variety show for me in the early 80s, Nick at Night’ Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In entertained those that tuned in to see how the 60s informed the 70s and how the 80s where so far from the 60s, yet so close to Laugh-Ins core metaphor. Suddenly, the laughter helped the country move through…
Daria is Damn Honest
Growing up through the Beavis and Butthead generation and seeing this character morph into her own TV show was so cool in retrospect. I actually identified more with her than Beavis and his friend. Daria’s honesty about her high school experience echoed what folks were living through during this time in the 90s. Long live…
