Movie Reviews: Ready Player One, Supergirl, and Don't You Forget About Me

Image
In this video, we dig into the movie collection to talk about two new releases and one catalog title! Supergirl was just released on Blu-ray from Warner Archive and contains the fan-favorite "International Cut" on Blu-ray as well as an even longer "Director's Cut" in standard definition on a second disc, which is a DVD. Ready Player One was also just released and is an ode to the pop culture of the late seventies and all of the eighties, but we're struggling with how we feel about it. Finally, we dig into a documentary about the films of John Hughes called "Don't You Forget About Me."

Here's a spotlight on Pints & Pixels, a sweet restaurant/arcade/bar in the Huntsville, Alabama area that's representative of the cool "Barcade" movement sweeping the country. Just a few years ago, arcades were basically all but dead. Now, by mixing arcade games with food and drinks, all those old arcade cabinets and pinball machines are finding new life and becoming a destination once more.

Michael Jackson is the King of Pop, but not every song that he released has gotten as much appreciation as it deserved! This is a Cereal At Midnight Top 5 list of Underrated Michael Jackson songs that we think deserve a second listen...and then a third! Each of these tracks spans the period from "Off The Wall" (1979) to "Bad" (1987) and comes from his most prolific and iconic years. I hope you have as much fun watching this as I had making it!

U.S. Space and Rocket Center: Home of Space Camp! (Huntsville, Alabama, SpaceCamp)

Image
Let's explore the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama! This facility is home to the world-class science installation that served as ground zero for the space exploration research and development during the 1950s and 1960s. Today it's the home of Space Camp, the program that encourages and educates future astronauts and explorers! it's also the primary filming location for the 1986 movie "SpaceCamp," directed by Harry Winer and starring Kate Capshaw (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom) Lea Thomspon (Back to the Future), Tate Donavan (Disney's Hercules), and Joaquin Phoenix, aka Leaf Phoenix (Gladiator). Our day at the Space and Rocket Center gives a good overview of what you'll find at this awesome museum and facility and can help you plan your own trip!

Django, Prepare a Coffin! aka Preparati la bara! aka Viva Django (1968)

Image
"Django, have you always be alone?" As a matter of fact, the answer is no! This is just one of dozens of movies featuring Italy's most successful western hero (anti-hero?), coming over a year after the 1966 Spaghetti Western classic from director Sergio Corbucci and starring Franco Nero. Lucky for us, Preparati la bara , which was directed by Ferdinando Baldi, feels like an important and worthy installment in a series of sequels that don't always connect to Corbucci's famous original film. With an alternate origin story, stylish cinematography, and one of my favorite scores in all of the genre, this movie is a Spaghetti Western gem!
