This week we celebrate the break from tyranny by looking at some of the baddest of the bad villains from the movies. Once these evil-doers take control, what’s the best way to stop them? We break it down on the revolution of Enjoy Stuff!

Should we rally the masses or stop them with goodness? What’s the best way to destroy tyranny? The answer may lie in the movies.

Jay pulled on his big leather boots, round helmet, and cool shades as he climbed on his motorcycle to watch the classic 70s series CHIPs. As a former California resident, this fun cop series brought back even more memories of the California highway. Shua finally got around to watching season 2 of Light and Magic on Disney+. It continues the story of ILM and how it changed movies forever. It’s recommended for anyone who loves movies.

Enjoy Smashing Villains! 

Almost 250 years ago, the people of the American colonies rallied against tyranny to break away and work out how to live with freedom. We’re still tweaking it today obviously, but the movies can give you some great guidelines for how to get rid of those nasty, narcissistic, power hungry bullies. This week we look at some iconic bad guys and how they were defeated. And we try to think about what made them bad guys to begin with. 

Which bad guy did we miss? How would you defeat a bad guy? First person that emails me with the subject line, “You’ve failed your highness. I’ll never turn to the dark side” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

Jay has a problem and no one else can help, but don’t worry, he found the A-Team! He’s been watching the first season of the classic 80s series with Mr. T, George Peppard, Dirk Benedict, and Dwight Schultz. It’s tons of nostalgic fun! Shua had a ton of nostalgic fun seeing Karate Kid: Legends, with Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio. It was a smooth blending of the two franchises with that legendary karate tournament storyline. In theaters now.

Enjoy TV Cars! 

We loved TV shows where our heroes jumped in their fancy car and sped off to save the day! Sometimes those cars were serious roadsters, and sometimes they were big ol’ vans that carried the whole group. This week 16 of those cars pitted against each other in a variety of characteristics from size, reliability, speed, and handling. Each round brings an exciting matchup and a few surprises. Will your favorite take home the trophy?

What we’re Enjoying

Jay found a very eclectic old show from USA’s Night Flight 1983 series called “Firesign Theater: Nick Danger, the Case of the Missing Yolk” He describes it as Monty Python meets Police Squad meets Devo. That alone sounds interesting enough to check it out on YouTube. Shua powered through all the Mission: Impossible movies to prepare for the “Final Reckoning” in theaters. It was a fun, spy, Tom-Cruise-Running, full-fueled ride.

Enjoy Time Travel! 

Forty years ago we experienced the release of a movie that would become legend. Back to the Future was a tremendous success for Robert Zemeckis, Michael J. Fox, and Christopher Lloyd. (But maybe not Biff, so much) Of course, movie success demands sequels, so a few years later we got more. The trilogy ended in the old west with the third installment which is celebrating 35 years. The BTTF movies have many parallels, so we decided to find a bunch of them and compare the first and third movies. Join in on the fun and see how many you’ve spotted.  

Did you spot any more parallels? What is your experience with Back to the Future? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Great Scott!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com
