  8. When A Stranger Calls: 1979 vs 2006

  16. Pinocchio! Disney’s 1940 version vs the 2022 Remake!

    I'm a real boy! Not yet. Before you can reach your goal, you first have to watch the original 1940 '#Pinocchio' and the Tom Hanks re-telling from 2022. Only after this can you achieve your real-boyness. At least that's what the blue fairy told us. However, we think she may be just be wanting to...

    Seriously though, I would watch this. With 40 Going on 14 taking a break right now, we're reposting some throwback shows! The future is a scary place to be.

  34. TV Theme Songs – From Love Boat to Twin Peaks to Game of Thrones!

    What's the magic behind a good TV theme song? It can make or break a show and is your first impression of what's to come. It can also cross over and become a Billboard hit song, unless you're the theme from 'Star Trek: Enterprise', but that's another story. On this memory show, we're digging into...

  35. Plan 9 From Outer Space – Was Ed Wood a Genius or a Madman?

    The worst movie of all time? I beg to differ, (At least Joel does.) but that is the nomenclature it has been saddled with.

  40. West Side Story 1961 vs 2021

    We tend to break out into song, a lot. However, we're not much on dancing. If these movies have taught us anything, it's that in the 1950's, both things happened a LOT.

We're discussing those icon faces and putting names behind them as we take on character actors from sci-fi and fantasy films!...

  44. Comfort Foods and another helping of that fried chicken!

    What’s so wonderful about a little sugar, fat and salt? Why does it make us feel so happy and content? Is it that the foods that contain these little serotonin bullets are just delicious or is it that they’re tied to things in our lives that make us feel warm and fuzzy inside. This week, we’re...

  45. Billboard Top 10 – 1992 versus 2022!
