NECA Defenders Of The Earth: Flash Gordon

Finally!!!! I finally managed to get my hands on the Flash Gordon figure from NECA’s Defenders of the Earth line! The figure eluded me for months. Sure, Flash was one of the first figures that I saw on the peg at Walmart, but I decided to wait on purchasing him after I picked up theContinue reading “NECA Defenders Of The Earth: Flash Gordon”

November Noise: Too Mean To Die, Accept (2021)

“The undertaker is a busy man…..” They’ve been around since 1976 but their latest album, 2021’s Too Mean To Die, shows no signs of Accept becoming a middle-aged metal act about to call it a day. Outside of a few YouTube videos, this album is my introduction to the group and I’ve been listening toContinue reading “November Noise: Too Mean To Die, Accept (2021)”

Throwback Thursday: Wayne’s World (1992)

“Shuh?!?!? And monkeys might fly out of my butt!” In my teen years, few things made me laugh as hard as watching Mike Myers and Dana Carvey as Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar on their iconic Saturday Night Live sketch, Wayne’s World. The sketch combined two of my favorite things, comedy and metal music. ItContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Wayne’s World (1992)”

November Noise: Hysteria, Def Leppard, 1987

“If you’re alone tonight…..” It might sound crazy but whenever I’m having a fit of rage or something has me extremely angry, I put on Def Leppard’s Hysteria album and I calm down. Specifically, the title track for this album puts me in a very calm mood. I don’t know why and I probably neverContinue reading “November Noise: Hysteria, Def Leppard, 1987”

Throwback Thursday: Friday Night Videos (1983-2002)

Cashing In On MTV’s Success As many of you are aware, I grew up in rural Louisiana with very few options when it came to television. My family could watch local ABC, NBC, and CBS affiliates as well as PBS and an independent station (when the weather was right) that would eventually become a FOXContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Friday Night Videos (1983-2002)”

Outpost: TRF 2021

Taking a trip back in time….. On the weekend of November 6th, myself and my daughter ventured out to the Texas Renaissance Festival in Todd Mission, TX. Neither one of us are strangers to the event as we have both attended the festival every year since 2007 or 2008 (I can’t quite remember) with myselfContinue reading “Outpost: TRF 2021”

November Noise: Vixen (1988)

“I don’t need your shoulder….” The late 1980’s found me comfortably nestled into a rock cradle. I was listening to bands like Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, Guns n’ Roses, and more hard rock and glam acts. One of the bands that slipped into my listening queue was Vixen, one of the mostContinue reading “November Noise: Vixen (1988)”

Throwback Thursday: Dazed And Confused (1993)

“Just keep livin, man. L-I-V-I-N.” 1993 was a big year for me. It was the year that I entered my senior year of high school. It marked the beginning of the end of my life as a nobody in a small town in Louisiana. Flash forward nearly thirty years later and I’m still a nobody,Continue reading “Throwback Thursday: Dazed And Confused (1993)”

“He’s never fought us. Not us united.“ I have a copy of Zack Snyder’s Justice League tucked away in my hall closet.

My life has been very crazy over the last few years andContinue reading “McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Justice League 2021 Batman”
