Did you guys know that, in the #80s it was illegal to make a film that did not have Kenny Loggins on the soundtrack?
It’s 100% true.

If you decided to test the law, you were subject to a $25,000 fine and time served. That was the rule.

There’s no need to look it up and fact check it.
It’s true.
Trust me.

9,428 movies came out between 1980-1989.

ALL OF THEM featured a Kenny Loggins song.

"Atari just bought Intellivision, putting an end to the very first console war."

https://www.engadget.com/atari-just-bought-intellivision-putting-an-end-to-the-very-first-console-war-172320606.html

Real retro-veterans of course know that the first console war was between Atari 2600 and the Philips Videopac, known in the US as the Magnavox Odyssey.

Later, the Mattel IntelliVision was the arch-enemy of the CBS ColecoVision.

I owned an Atari 2600 and later a CBS ColecoVision. Precious childhood memories. 💚

It's finally happened! We're taking a comic we covered for a #DollarBinDiscovery and doing a proper deep dive on the series. Jessika is leading this week's discussion on Alter Ego, an extremely meta homage to pulp comics by industry icons Ron Harris and Roy Thomas.

As usual, the time has gotten away from me, so I’m going to keep this short.

USA 1 Hit Wonders Heardle - #268
Lol, this song reminds me of a particular shirt that I wore a lot that summer. It was blue and black.

no: Troll Heardle. I suspected I did not know this. What are those sounds anyway?

no: 60s. I doubled down on another artist.

Heardle Super 70s #274
Haha, I have kind of a love/hate relationship with this song. Hate’s too strong a word -- more like mocking bc the whole premise is rather dumb. But the song is pretty nonetheless.

Okay, I think that’s it. Somewhat surprisingly, I’m getting some much-put-off work done between various entertainments.

Total: 3/5

If you felt Thor: Love and Thunder was too silly, I hate to tell you about the comics.

Who is an artist for you where, when you hear them, regardless of song, album, whatever…
INSTANTLY makes you cringe and sends you into a fit of rage?

An artist or band where you’d rather slice your own ears off than ever hear them again.

Mine is easy.

What about you guys?
