If you grew up in the 80s then chances are you watched more than your fair share of Fraggle Rock, Jim Henson’s cult favorite TV show about a group of mythical Muppet-like creatures (which was also produced by HBO). The Spare Room obviously remembers too. Located inside Hollywood’s beloved (and haunted) Roosevelt Hotel, the cocktail [...]

To be honest, I was never a big fan of Masters Of the Universe. The characters were pretty stiff, and about as creative as you would imagine from a boardroom of executives inventing a new line of toys with matching TV show. (I would also put Thundercats in this groupthink advertorial category, although the animation [...]

Interesting that Louis C.K.’s next comedy special will be on HBO, as the last show he did, Live at the Beacon Theater, he produced himself and sold it directly via his own website for $5, which he claims was a way greater financial success. I guess HBO must’ve really laid on the cash thick, like [...]

For children of the 1980s, the arcade holds a unique and holy place in our hearts. Oh how many countless hours I spent at New England Grand Prix (RIP), endlessly pumping quarters into Dragon’s Lair, Spy Hunter, Gauntlet, Super Sprint, Cyberball, Crystal Castles, Smash TV, Punch Out, et al like crackheads in the dark, inhaling [...]

The billionaire humanitarian from Springfield offers many reasons why one should vote for good ol’ Mitt, the most marked being that he strapped his [...]

Tom Waits and Don Lane have really bad screen chemistry. Lane’s sincere admiration and Waits’s well meaning sacrilege clash like Jesus in the Parthenon. Of course neither is a holy deity, but Waits is more 40s screen star gone wrong than ever before, while Lane sort of acts on as Mother Hen, or as Tom [...]

There’s been a lot of talk lately centering around the Best Shows on TV. And while Mad Men and Breaking Bad get their much due respect (as well as deceased seminal titles like The Wire and Sopranos), I always marvel at how little attention Boardwalk Empire and Game Of Thrones get in the discussion. Both [...]

If you remember, we introduced you to Omaha, Nebraska’s 90′s electro synth-pop trio Icky Blossoms with a To Whom It May Concern Q&A a few days ago. Per usual, we’ve bringing more good news about the band: you can now stream their entire debut self-titled album — which was produced by the highly coveted Dave [...]
