In 1997, I was a disc jockey at the number-one regional FM radio station. (I was also a professional magician then, and still in high school!) My airtime was from six to midnight on Sundays. This was live radio, complete with cuing CDs, firing up commercials on bulky cartridges, and having until the current song was over to use the bathroom (located about five seconds away). The pressure was always on, because if a mistake was made, thousands of people heard it. The best part

As true Retro Injection fans (both of them) could tell you, I sorely miss renting movies on VHS and DVD: "A Tribute to Defunct Video Stores" is one of the blog's most popular entries. I also love physical media, so when 80sTees.com offered me two free garments to promote on the site, this Blockbuster Video t-shirt was an obvious pick. This page contains affiliate links.

The average person may not recognize John Moschitta's name, but they've probably seen him. Or more to the point, heard him. He's world renowned as the "Fast-Talking Guy," and his lightning-speed articulation has been featured on television, movies, and more. For '80s and '90s kids, Mr. Moschitta will always be the Micro Machine Man, Blurr from The Transformers , and "Terrible" Testaverde on Saved by the Bell . I've been a fan of John Moschitta since 1987. My elementary school

Fresh from the DVD Dungeon roars Prey of the Jaguar , a straight-to-video martial arts movie from 1996 featuring Stacy Keach ( Slave to the Cannibal God ) and Linda Blair ( The Exorcist ). Like the best kung-fu films, David DeCoteau's Prey of the Jaguar is your standard revenge flick. Prey of the Jaguar is bolstered by the small roles played by Blair and Keach. In the tradition of Teen Wolf , this production is "a b-movie body with an a-list head." I got the impression th

I've never given a movie a star rating. But if I had to, I'd give Same River Twice a half star, solely for not getting water on the camera lens. I've seen thousands of movies, but Same River Twice ranks in my bottom twenty. What are the others? Armageddon is definitely in there. Also, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (which manages to make kung-fu boring), and the pretentious pap that is 2001: A Space Odyssey . Yeah, I hate on some heavy hitters. I haven't watched a movie a

With the renewed interest in the Godzilla franchise, I want to share my thoughts on, and experiences with, one of my all-time favorite films. Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is a kaiju (Japanese giant monster) movie I first saw on TV at a cheap Gettysburg, PA motel in the late '90s. "It's good to be the king!" -Mel Brooks Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah was the first Godzilla movie I'd ever witnessed, and it broadened my perspective of cinema. I didn't realize movies like this were
