That song reminds me of that special time with that special person. Music often takes us back to a moment of our life that we love to revisit. Jovial Jay and Shua share some of their favorite albums and why they love them on Enjoy Stuff. 

Wipe off that vinyl and sharpen that needle because it’s time to spin some tunes. Let’s check out some of our favorite albums.

What we’re Enjoying

Shua has been revisiting the funny pages with the complete collection of Berke Breathed's Bloom County. This classic comic strip was a staple of the 80’s and spotlighted important political and social issues while selling stuffed penguins. Jay joined in the fun of so many Star Wars fans when he experienced Andor season 2. The storytelling is award-worthy, the performances were sensational, and it will go down as one of the best Star Wars tales of all time. And of course you should follow it up with Andor season three, also known as Rogue One. 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay is filled with Dredd. Judge Dredd that is. The 2012 film starring Karl Urban is pretty true to the original and less campy than it’s 90s counterpart. 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 Music! 

Doctor Oliver Sacks calls the psychological connection between the music and the brain “Musicophilia”. We call it a lot of fun. When you experience music at important times in your life, it tends to stick with you. And when you want to have some of those feelings again, all you need to do is put that album on again. Music is an important part of Jay’s and Shua’s life, and so many great memories are tied to tunes. Let’s take a look at what they are and why they like them so much.

What we’re Enjoying

Jay has finally found time to Enjoy his birthday game, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Playstation. It’s a really fun game with a great Indy vibe. Practice in the cave and then go punch all those bad guys. Shua was pleasantly surprised to really have a great time with Pokerface season 2 starring Natasha Lyonne, now streaming on Peacock. 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay does his best to find the fun in the 2012 remake of Total Recall. Unfortunately, it doesn’t go far enough away from the original with Arnold.

Coming soon to own on videocassette! It was something we loved seeing, knowing that we could continue to build our ever expanding VHS movie collection. This week we talk with Chris Luby from Chris Collects Stuff on YouTube about the art of collecting VHS tapes. 

Will the movie you want to rent be at the video store? We hope so. Otherwise, we’ll just watch Killer Klowns from Outer Space Again. Because it’s a classic! Let’s look into the world of VHS.

What we’re Enjoying

Shua found a cool noir detective audio drama on Audible. The Big Fix: A Jack Bergin Mystery stars Jon Hamm as the classic style detective, trying to get a wrongly accused man out of jail and solve a murder, all surrounded by the Brooklyn Dodgers moving to LA. Totally fun, and totally free. Jay has been wanting to see what the new Apple TV+ series starring Seth Rogan called The Studio. It is an interesting look at the movie industry and the chaos that makes it.  

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay revisits the 2012 kind-of-Alien prequel called Prometheus. It is a gory telling of the classic tale of aliens destroying man. 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 Tapes! 

This week we are joined by friend and collector Chris Luby. His YouTube channel Chris Collects Stuff spotlights some of the great things he loves to collect, particularly VHS tapes. This quirky and growing hobby is not only fun, it’s also a way to preserve a historical era when we were obsessed with consuming as much media as we could, in magnetic, rectangular form. We discuss the why of the hobby, some rare finds, and some that are elusive.

What we’re Enjoying

Jay has been rewatching the ABC Marvel series Agents of SHIELD for both Location Scout and great amounts of Enjoyment. He’s on season 4 and that’s the best one. Shua found a sequel to a classic Michael Chrichton novel the Andromeda Strain with a new modern day threat called Andromeda: Evolution. There’s a little suspension of disbelief, but it’s a fun saving of the world from germs kinda story.  

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay refreshes his memory for destroying fascists by watching the 2012 bizarre sci-fi movie Iron Sky. Evil humans hiding on the moon since the 40s, returning to Earth to take over the world. Read his article on RetroZap.com.

Enjoy Star Wars! 

Season 5 of Enjoy Stuff premieres with a celebration of Star Wars! Twenty years ago, we went crazy all summer seeing what we thought would be the last Star Wars movie ever; Revenge of the Sith. It was an exciting year of hype, merchandise, and standing in lines. But then, we got an exciting Christmas present when a sequel to our favorite galaxy was released. The Force Awakens awakened that excitement it had been so long since we felt. More Celebrations, more hype, more merchandise, and more lines (although, much easier to navigate). Let’s take a look back at two giant Star Wars films.
