Throwback Thursday: 1998 Godzilla/Taco Bell Toys And Cup Holder

“Gojira……Gojira…..Gojiraaaaaaa!” Whether you liked the 1998 film starring Matthew Broderick or not, you can’t deny that the Taco Bell/Godzilla tie-in items were pretty cool. While I didn’t personally go for any of the toys, I did make sure that I got my hands on all of the cups and that wonderful cup holder. I believeContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: 1998 Godzilla/Taco Bell Toys And Cup Holder”

Classic Cinema: Gaslight (1944)

Throwback Thursday: Dungeons And Dragons Toys (1983-84)

“The fantasy comes alive!” Way back in the early 1980s, toy company LJN combined forces with TSR to release a series of toys based upon the popular and, at least in the early 80s, controversial role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons. Despite my very strong Southern Baptist roots and the alleged Satanic portals that DnD potentiallyContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Dungeons And Dragons Toys (1983-84)”

The Crucifixion (2017)

Be Careful What You Pray For…. Something that I’ve picked up on about the twin brothers of terror, Chad and Carey W. Hayes, is that their horror writing almost always falls into one of two categories: 1) dull but watchable and 2) downright chilling. The duo penned the remake of House Of Wax (2005), TheContinue reading “The Crucifixion (2017)”

The Flash (2023)

“Don’t let your tragedy define you.” 2011’s Flashpoint story, which played out across multiple DC titles, provides the backbone….and not much else, for 2023’s The Flash. If you’re familiar with Geoff Johns’ story, you know that in it, Barry Allen upsets the timeline by traveling back to the point where his mother dies and preventingContinue reading “The Flash (2023)”

“I think we’re alone now, so let me get lost in your eyes!” Okay, I’ll admit that my heading is a tad lame, but I wanted to find a way in which to combine two of the biggest songs for two of the biggest stars of the late 1980s/early 1990s without showing any favoritism. TiffanyContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Debbie Gibson and Tiffany (1980s-90s)”
