Marty's Actual Guitar Playing in Back to the Future

 

Someone painstakingly recreates what Marty's guitar playing actually sounded like at the rhythmic ceremonial ritual. We may not be ready for this yet but our kids are gonna love it.

The Penguin - The Escape

 Burgess Meredith (as the Penguin) has a song???

As insane as it is, it's not so surprising. They made records for everything in the 60s. This track comes from an entire Batman album.

The comments section of this video speculates that The Penguin invented Gangsta Rap.

Best of the Worst: New Releases!

 

This episode is notable as, according to Jay's Twitter, it contains the second-worst movie he's ever seen. Further, the panel all agrees it's the worst movie they've ever watched on the show (but that's not so unusual).

Plus: Rich Evans has a new catchphrase.

Rifftrax Live is Doing Rad

 Rifftrax has announced a new Kickstarter - they will be riffing over the 1986 BMX classic "Rad." Does anything else need to be said?

One thing that should be said is the tier that allows you to contribute a riff is already sold out. That was probably my only purpose in life and I didn't get a chance.

The live event is August 17th, so still a lot of time.

I wanted to list the stretch goals but don't see any listed.

Various TV Series Online

 

Just discovered a number of TV series are available online.

First, the entire series of Creature Comforts (The UK Version) is on youtube. Season 1 is above.

Secondly, the entire Batman (1966) TV show is on Amazon, free with ads. It's always been a goal of mine to watch every episode one day so I'm doing that.

The commercials during Batman, reveal that (as far as I can tell) every episode of "The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross" is also on Amazon, free with ads. With 31 seasons, you'd have to be a crazy person to watch them all, but I might. Though watching a PBS show with commercials feels like a violation.

The commercials during Batman also reveal that the episode of "Supermarket Sweeps" from the 90s are available to view. I was not really aware of this show but it strikes me as novel that one can watch old game shows. Will we get full seasons from the 1980s of "The Price is Right" next? Who knows. They already have the Family Feud with that creep Richard Dawkins.

Popcorn in Bed - Days of Thunder

 

I don't believe in "guilty pleasures" when it comes to movies - I like what I like, I see no need to feel guilt over a movie. But "Days of Thunder" is as close to a guilty pleasure as I come. I know it has a bad reputation, I have heard a million times how it's stupid and mediocre, I just can't agree. I watch it and see nothing to dislike, everything about screams "enjoyable entertainment."

But let's see what Cassie and Carly think...
