Holographic Pete Best was very, very available.

Both surviving Beatles and three of their holograms all collaborated on the track!

“If there isn’t a Skywalker in a scene, someone should be asking ‘where’s Skywalker?’”

I discovered one of those free anime streaming channels sometimes shows the ‘70s Lupin the 3rd series, both the earlier, slightly-more-serious one and the later, goofy-as-heck one. They’re virtually my platonic ideal of escapist fun.

A cheesy song from the 80's about a serious issue? Why, that would never have happened!

TIL that “Channel Z,” not “Love Shack,” was the lead single off Cosmic Thing.

“The erections are great. Are you the fluffer?”

Alien: Res-Erection

That's the one with the facehumper.

I think I saw that. It was sort of a twin flick to Alien: Romulus.

with a sassy black employee, too!
