Shua got super smart this week with the Val Kilmer classic Real Genius. Does it still have messages for us today, or is it just a hilarious movie? Jay continues his ride along the western trail with two James Garner comedies; Support Your Local Sheriff and Support Your Local Gunfighter. These movies are a fun addition to the genre with James Garner showing his skill as a comedic actor. Check out these movies and see how you like them. 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay analyzes the underrated 2012 imagining of a classic tale, John Carter. The story may be outdated, but it has a lot of good sci-fi within.

The arcade was our favorite place to hang out. But there were some games that we blew thousands of quarters on because they were too hard. What do people think were the hardest retro arcade games? We get frustrated until we're broke on Enjoy Stuff.

What we’re Enjoying

Jay continues to ride the trail of Western Movies, but adds a little prehistoric this week with his viewing of One Million Years BC. The quality of this Ray Harryhausen movie may not have been at the top of his list, but it was still an interesting idea and had some crazy genre mashups. Shua found some cool YouTube channels that have some great, high quality classic Pink Panther cartoons. It’s a great way to have some retro in the background. 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay gets real with the 2011 Hugh Jackman movie Real Steel. This often overlooked film has a lot of great robot action in the boxing ring, like a mechanical Rocky. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And 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.

Enjoy Video Games! 

We loved spending time in the arcade as we were growing up. We tried to use our quarters wisely and budget them for the maximum experience possible. But sometimes we had to cram a lot of them into games over and over because they were so hard. Which ones were the most challenging? Were they the same ones you struggled with? Let’s see what the internet said and decide if we agree.

What we’re Enjoying

Shua was surprised how much fun the new A24 movie Death of a Unicorn, starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega. It’s not just a horror movie with a killer horse with a horn. There’s much more to the story and themes of the film. Jay is still enjoying westerns with a variety of tellings of the same, classic story. Tombstone (1993) and Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957). Inspired by news of Val Kilmer, Tombstone reminds us why this performance is so well loved. And Gunfight… spotlights the decade it was made with a different kind of interpretation. Check them all out and let us know how you like them. 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay analyzes the first movie in the newest Planet of the Apes franchise. 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes started off as it’s own story, not connected to the idea that the originals created. But it soon became obvious that it was much more complex. An interesting take on how those Apes could have come into power. Read his article on RetroZap.com.

It's the 20th anniversary of one of the most legendary video games of all time; LEGO Star Wars. This week we pay homage by looking at the history of how we ended up with this classic, and why we like it. 

We love running around the galaxy far, far away and finding bricks to build more bricks so we can stop the Empire. It’s the classic 2005 video game LEGO Star Wars.

What we’re Enjoying

Jay revisited a classic 1955 Spencer Tracy classic called Bad Day at Black Rock. It’s a modern day western and mystery that will keep you in suspense and keep you guessing what’s really happening. You can find it at AppleTV. Shua read the last Dennis E. Taylor of his published works, Feedback. It’s a very short, but very mind bending time travel tale and the weird results that it might cause. You can check it out on Audible. 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay puts on the chaps and revisits the 2011 Jon Favreau passion project Cowboys & Aliens.

Enjoy Video Games! 

In 2005 game developers Traveller’s Tales was tasked to create a blending of Star Wars with LEGO. The amazing LEGO sets had been out for six years at this point, but could it be translated into an interactive world? Turns out the answer is not only ‘yes’, but it’s ‘Yes, and it’s going to be the first of many iconic follow ups with Star Wars and a variety of other franchises.’ Let’s take a trip back to the beginnings of the LEGO company and how it evolved into this digital version and interpretation of favorite characters and settings. Then let’s look at why we love it so much!
