What we’re Enjoying

Jay was excited to check out the new episodes of X-Men ‘97 on Disney+. It made him feel like he was back in the 90s as all the favorite characters, stories, and cheesy dialogue returned. You can check it out now! Shua and his wife had a blast at a Star Wars burlesque show called The Empire Strips Back. Don’t take things too seriously, just have fun with it!

 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay roamed the timeline for the 2003 movie Timeline. Not the greatest time travel movie, but it has a good cast and some interesting ideas about going back. Read Jay’s insightful analysis and then rewatch the movie. Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.

There are a lot of great actors out there. But there are some that are legendary (or soon will be). This week we discuss some of the actors that mean a lot to us for a variety of reasons. Whether it’s an impressive body of work, some memorable scenes, or just how amazingly cool they seem to be in everyday life, these men have made an impact on us.

Shua jumped on the bandwagon (or the sandworm) and saw Dune Part 2. It was every bit the epic spectacle everyone’s talking about. Action packed, entertaining, and visually stunning, he recommends it to anyone who loves seeing big-screen movies. Jay checked out another recent release, written by Diablo Cody and inspired by 80s movies. Lisa Frankenstein tells the story of a teen girl that raises a young, previously handsome corpse and romance ensues. It’s a fun one that feels new and old, which of course gets a TechnoRetro recommendation. 

 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay rounded out the Matrix trilogy by remembering Matrix: Revolutions. The third in the series gave us the fate of Zion, Neo, Agent Smith, and the rest. While presenting a different feel than the first two movies, after a rewatch it presents a fun and entertaining story. Read Jay’s insightful analysis and then rewatch the movie. Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.

Erin go Bragh! But so did Patrick! Patrick didn’t just play around with snakes.

Plus, we hear from some of our Earbuds as they share all kinds of different Pats, Pattys, Patricks, and well… not Ricks… It’s a grand time to get lucky!

What we’re Enjoying

Jay finally got to the Disney+ documentary series Behind the Attraction. Season 2 has some cool inclusions such as Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Disney Parks food. It’s not a boring documentary, and you’re sure to laugh as you learn a little more about the parks. Shua got around to the 2023 Netflix anime “Blue Eye Samurai”. It’s an action packed, graphic, adult story with plenty of Ninja-type action. 

 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay grudgingly analyzed the 2003 sequel that tried to keep a franchise alive but may have nudged it in the wrong direction. Terminator 3 didn’t quite have the some charm or quality of the first 2, but there are ways to Enjoy it, including skipping the movie and just reading Jay’s article instead. Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com, now featuring Daredevil Season 1. Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.  

 

Enjoy Life! 

Spring is taking its sweet time getting here. And sometimes during a long winter we start to feel a little sad. Maybe a lot sad. Professionals call this seasonal depression, or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD…No, seriously). There are things you can do to help yourself feel a little better that doctors recommend. We have taken those recommendations and made them appropriate to our lifestyle, sometimes with a retro twist. 

 

If you are feeling overwhelmed with sadness, depression, or anxiety, or feel like you want to harm yourself or others, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 800‑273‑8255

 

What do you do when you’re feeling those winter blues? Share it with us and let’s all be there for each other. First person that emails me with the subject line, “Don’t worry, be happy” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

Shua found a cool YouTube channel that spotlights innovative 3-D printing featuring some really cool inventions by a guy named Ivan Miranda. A guy with a fun personality and some really brilliant solutions to crazy ideas. Jay has been rewatching the Daredevil series and is remembering why he loved season 1 so much. 

 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay revisited the sequel to the wildly popular Matrix original, Matrix Reloaded (2003). Despite the now dated innovative special effects, it was a really beautiful movie to watch that expanded the Matrix universe in a very unique way.  Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com, now featuring Daredevil Season 1. Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.

In 1984, Michael Douglas was getting into producing and had purchased a script from a waitress he met at Alice’s Restaurant (no, I’m serious!). He tried to get some very popular, handsome, macho actors to play the lead, opposite the up and coming Kathleen Turner. But ultimately he decided he’d just play the hero himself. With Robert Zemeckis at the directing helm, they set out to make a romantic adventure in the jungle. (But not really Columbia, because it was actually too dangerous) It became  a gigantic hit that established Douglas as a strong leading man, put Turner on the road to a string of hits, and gave Zemeckis the ability to create Back to the Future.
