Christmas is edging closer and closer. This time of year is for joy, caring, giving, and watching Christmas specials. I have not done a top 10 list in a while so I thought I would give 5 of my favorite Christmas movies to watch this time of year and 5 Christmas shows to watch. What would a season be without watching National Lampoons Christmas? It’s a timeless comedy and is a must see. Elf is another great one and on a normal year you could probably catch the Play Elf, this is…

Season 2 of The Mandalorian has put the series back in the forefront. Season 2 opened up back on Tatooine with some familiar looking scenes from all over the Star Wars world. Not only are they drawing from season 1 to lay out the story but they are drawing from the original trilogy, prequel, Clone Wars, and pretty much anyplace else to add in familiar stuff and hidden eggs. I love Star Wars but my memory ain’t what it used to be. I love checking out reviews to find out what I…

Oh 1990, what a year this was. Times were changing. We were just starting to use computers in school to do reports and what not, and everything was saved to a floppy disc. Cell phones well we called them telephone booths, remember the emergency phone booths on the interstates? War was brewing in the Middle East and George Senior was getting ready to send troops for our first televised invasion of a country. Montana and Rice cleaned house in Super Bowl XXIV, Pistons got their second straight championship, and the…

The NES hit shelves in the US in 1985. I remember renting the system from our local grocery store. I mostly played Mario and Zelda.
