Cereal At Midnight

Indiana Jones is back in the news this week after Disney/Lucasfilm announced that they were pushing the release date of Indiana Jones 5  from Summer 2019 to July, 2020, and we can't wait to see the return of our favorite whip-wielding archaeologist. Here are five things that we do (and in some cases, DON'T) want to see in the fifth Indy film. 

Based on the title of this film, you would be forgiven for thinking this horror anthology from 1967 is the kind of movie you should avoid. After all, we've had a glut of "torture porn" crap over the last 10-15 years where legitimate creeps have been replaced by what amounts to an endurance test of the worst kind. There is actually no torture in  Torture Garden , nor is there any real gore. No,  Torture Garden  is actually an old-fashioned, comic-book style horror film in the same vein as  Creepshow, Tales from the Darkside,  or even  Trick 'r Treat.  Let's be clear up front though, this movie is nowhere near as good as those. Still, it replicates--in movie form--the thrill of entering a carnival fun house and not knowing what you're going to see.

With nostalgia gaming at a fever pitch, it's only natural that Capcom has resurrected six of their most beloved Nintendo games and repackaged them for a whole new generation.

You wanted the best, you got the best.

In this four-color festival of the fantastic, we open a shipment featuring the entire run of Aquaman's New 52 run from DC Comics. Plus, Southern Superman, a character destined to become a worldwide sensation, makes his first appearance!

 No hero has been as misunderstood and taken for granted over the last few years as Superman.

The biggest wrestling show of the year has come and gone. Was it the equivalent of Hulk Hogan body slamming Andre the Giant, or was it the second coming of the Gobbledy Gooker?

Over a thousand episodes of classic cartoons are coming soon to a streaming device near you!

It's Wrestlemania Week, and millions of rasslin' fans have the squared circle on their minds. Today, I'm taking a look back at an '80s superstar and what could have been.

With several new cinnamon-flavored cereals making their debut on crowded shelves nationwide, the question on everyone's mind is "Who will be the last cereal standing?" Begun, the Cinnamon War has. Let's stick a spoon in the new offering from Kellogg's and see how it fares.

I'm in a Dokken mood and wanted to share this. Here's an acoustic performance of one of my favorite Dokken songs, "Dream Warriors," written for the soundtrack of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors . I believe this particular performance is taken from the band's  Japan Live '95 DVD, which features the original group, reunited after having gone their separate ways for a few years .   I love this song, but I think I love it even more in this stripped down interpretation where the melodies can really shine. Plus, check out those outstanding harmonies from bassist Jeff Pilson! This is one that Don still occasionally performs acoustically at some of his shows.

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES.

Burt Reynolds spent a lot of the 1970s making movies that were set in the rural south and are sometimes called "hick flicks." With the two Gator McKlusky movies, we have one of his best and...another one.

In the wake of Chuck Berry's passing, the Berry Family and Dualtone Records have released "Big Boys," the first single from his final studio album. Long in development and announced last October,  Chuck  will finally be released on June 16. I can't wait. This music sounds fantastic, as if no time has passed since he first burst onto the scene in the fifties. I had wondered what rock and roll must sound like at the age of 90, and this is the answer: it sounds like Chuck Berry. Preorder Chuck  from Dualtone Records  HERE.

Somewhere in Georgia lies a small town that goes by the name of Santa Claus. Though the main square is only about the size of a city block, the entire area has been branded with Christmas theming all year long.

This is my requiem for the Brown Eyed Handsome Man.

Warner Archive delivers another fun genre film from the past with the world's first Dino-Western.

Caramel-flavored cookies covered with coconut and chocolate are great any time of the day, but how about as part of a well-balanced breakfast? Let's find out.

This game beat me up, stole my lunch money, and gave me an atomic wedgie. I think I love it anyway.

Join me as I take you through my recent acquisitions. We talk movies, some comic book stuff, a rare CD, and end with a huge unboxing from the Disney Movie Club. Take a drink every time I say "Why should you care," but be sure to have a designated driver standing by.

Well I'm goin' out west where I belong.

If adventure has a cousin, it must be Allan Quatermain. King Solomon's Mines has had quite the lifespan. The story began life in 1885 as an adventure novel by H. Rider Haggard. Some call Haggard the father of the "Lost World" sub-genre, and still others consider him to be the ancestor of the kind of pulp fiction that dominated comic and newsstand shelves from the '30s to the '60s. There have been six feature films based on his book, with the most notable movie versions being made in 1937 and 1950. This 1985 version is the first one that seems to be made with laughs in mind. Honestly, I don't think much of what was in that original novel has survived for the screen in this particular adaptation. Now, thanks to Olive Films, I've recently had a chance to revisit Cannon's 1985's pulp adventure film   King Solomon's Mines. I hadn't watched the movie in years, probably since the '90s, and I was excited to see how it held up. Thankful...

This year, General Mills has partnered with Girl Scouts USA to bring us cereal versions of two of the best selling Girl Scout cookies. I found a box of one of them. I ate some. This is my report. 

We spotlight Riverdale, The CW's hottest new show, and its interpretations of both the Archie gang as well as Josie and the Pussycats. We also take a brief look at the history of those characters in comic books and cartoons over the years.
