That was a very a$$-toot observation.

Tut-tut... Silly Minion, didn’t he know that if you’re calling forth the powers of darkness you should do so at the stroke of midnight. Thankfully he was twenty minutes early and only some low level fire demons who arrived early got out and were quickly overcome by the firefighters before things got out of hand like…

Legend of the Hidden Temple

Yes, the Dish of the Day was voiced by Peter Davison, who played the 5th Doctor (who is the father-in-law of David Tennant the 10th Doctor.)

How long before I can get pasta that will form Mobius strips? Preferably without ants.

You can’t have a proper Monster Mash without the Crypt-kicker 5! The ghost of Bobby “Boris” Pickett says so!

What is the Noid? It was part of a marketing campaign for Domino’s Pizza from when they promised to get your pizza delivered within 30 minutes of ordering (so you wouldn’t be “a-Noid” at getting a cold pizza.) A bad pun, a bad mascot, and a bad idea all the way around. My ex-boyfriend used to work at a Dominoes store…

How did this steaming pile of sewage get left off the list????

The difference in Lola’s costume could actually have a more real-world explanation. The original film came out right around the time that the WNBA was announced (but a year before the league officially started playing.) The WNBA uniforms have always been about the same as the NBA uniforms.  There were never crop-tops…

Came looking for this, was not disappointed!

I can’t say that I’ve seen any of the other shows/movies that you mentioned (I’m way behind on quite a few series), but I agree completely about Doctor Who being a continuation. Specifically in terms of the ‘Time War.’ That goes back at least as far as Remembrance of the Daleks (with the Hand of Rassilon being given…

Nicely done!

Add Hartnell to the list of Doctor actors who didn’t leave by choice.  You beat me to the punch on the other two.

I may be screaming into the vortex, but I’m a bit disappointed that I didn’t see Neal Peart’s name on this list. As the main lyricist for the band Rush, his nerd-cred shown through on a number of occasions. A couple of examples spring to mind. He wrote a song about exploring an actual black hole (Cygnus X-1), which…

I couldn’t tell either based on the pictures, your guess is as good as mine.  Just as long as it isn’t Rory “the Roman” Williams (from Doctor Who), he’s already been through enough just in the show without having the Flash beating him up as well.

Just out of curiosity, where did you live in the ‘80s? To get the 1/2 hour version, and then later get Blake 7 and Star Cops? Doctor Who showed up in Sacramento in the early ‘80s, and then only in the omnibus version. I think it was after Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy aired (or maybe it was the radio adaptation…

IIRC (and I could me totally wrong about this) they captured her daemon first and then captured her.  That would at least be my best theory.  It has been MANY years since I read the HDM trilogy.

Awww.... I loved those Tower stores. I live closer to the Tower Stores that were near Watt Ave. and El Camino Ave. (the one that had the sign that read “All Things Must Past” that Colin Hanks used as the title for his documentary.) That sign used to reside at the Center for Sacramento History (where Mr. Hanks did some…

I agree 1000+% that this idea should be burned on the dust-pile of hideously bad ideas. I adore Lilo and Stitch and have no desire whatsoever to what Stitch would “realistically” look like.  What next, a live-action Totoro? *Shudders* (and yes, I know that Disney no longer hold the rights to Studio Ghibli movies...…

I’m not familiar with the podcasts listed here, but these are two of my favorite spooky podcasts. Both deal with spooky events and hauntings through a historical lens...
