Read MoreCLICK HERE AND ORDER NOW! “Good and Evil are just subjective terms. Without honor, both sides are meaningless.” Cunning, ruthless, and battle hardened… nothing phases the perpetually cold demeanor of Shadow Dragon, leader of the Dark Shadows. His history seems to be an intentional enigma. What is known is that he wields deadly martial arts weaponry and performs hand to hand combat with effortless grace, yet no one is able to pinpoint the origin of how he mastered all of this so proficiently. As the enemy of Delta-17, Shadow Dragon employs…
Read MoreIf you have been a reader of our website for the last almost 20 years you have seen plenty of articles that started off with “Story by Mitchell Smith.” My wife and I first met Mitch back in 2008 through an online G.I. Joe fan forum and online chat room. Since then he has been one of our closest friends whom we communicate with on a daily basis. He also has been the head writer for our blog since 2013. This week we lost Mitch way too soon. It is…
Read MoreI can still picture the exact moment the Winter Olympics clicked for me: a cold evening in 1992, my grandparents black and white TV glow filling the room, and that unmistakable “this is special” feeling hanging in the air. I didn’t know it yet, but I was watching the start of a lifelong tradition. The 1992 Winter Games in Albertville, France felt different from anything I’d seen. The scenery alone—those French Alps backdrops—made every event look like it was happening inside a postcard. But the real hook for me was…
Read MoreSome movies entertain you, some impress you, and then there are the rare ones that move in—quietly taking up residence in the part of your mind where childhood wonder lives, where hope still feels like a real force, and where imagination isn’t a hobby so much as it is survival. The NeverEnding Story is that kind of movie for me. I can’t think about it without feeling the same mix of warmth and ache, like the memory of a sunset you swear was brighter back then. It’s not just a…

Read MoreIf you watched Cheers in the 80s, you already know the truth: the bar wasn’t the only place where drinks got mixed. The real intoxicant was the way Sam Malone and Diane Chambers could turn a simple conversation into a flirtation duel—equal parts sparks, sarcasm, and “we should absolutely not be doing this… so why can’t we stop?” Their hook is basically a sitcom love potion. Sam is the cocky ex-athlete bartender with a grin that says he’s never met a mirror he didn’t like. Diane is the brainy, romantic,…

Read MoreSome shows give you a mystery. Some shows give you a romance. And then there are the rare, dangerous ones that give you both—then lean in close, smirk, and dare you to pretend you’re not watching for the chemistry. That’s Moonlighting in a nutshell: a slick little cocktail of detective hijinks and slow-burn desire, shaken with snappy dialogue and served with a look across a room that could practically fog your TV screen. You didn’t just watch David and Maddie—you felt like you were eavesdropping on two people who were…

Read MoreThere are performers who make you laugh, and then there are performers who make laughter feel like home. Catherine O’Hara belonged to the second kind—a once-in-a-generation artist who could turn a single look, a perfectly placed pause, or a delightfully strange pronunciation into something that lived in your memory for years. On January 30, 2026, O’Hara died at 71 in Los Angeles after a brief illness, according to reports from her representatives. She is survived by her husband, Bo Welch, and their two sons. To call her “beloved” feels almost…
