Show Notes

It seems that everything from the 80s is coming back. Whether you were a little one or a teenager in the 80s, you’ll find something on this 80s kids gift guide that you’ll love. I mean, they’ll love. You’re shopping for someone else, right?

If you grew up in the 1980’s, some of your strongest memories will be of the toys that you owned – or hoped to borrow off your friend who had one….

You know, the toys that all boys and girls in the 1980s longed for – the ones that were on every kid’s Letter To Santa!

If you still have the original toys, they are now some of the most collectable toys of the 1980s.

But if like most of us they are long gone, well, there are lots of these cool retro 80’s toys that you can still buy today for yourself….I mean buy for your kids so that you can play with them….I mean to introduce your kids to the fun things you loved in your childhood.

Well, that is my excuse and I’m sticking to it!

The Podcasts

EP.119 – Don't Trust Billionaires – A Review of James Gunn's Superman pt.3 – Tangential Giants Podcast

The Tangential Giants return for their third strike at reviewing the three-quarter mark of James Gunn’s Superman, and somehow, the chaos only gets more refined with age. Kareem, Ken, Pat, and guest Tim settle in to talk about the movie, but as always, tangents emerge like uninvited cousins who still somehow run the show.This time, the crew dives into how the fictional citizens of Metropolis and the very real citizens of the United States share a troubling weakness for any rich guy with a shiny suit and a PR team. From there, they spiral into a celebration of Guy Gardner’s comedic menace as Green Lantern, because apparently the universe needed a man who is equal parts hero and walking HR violation.Naturally, the group also questions the logistics of a pocket universe prison. Is it science, magic, or just James Gunn saying, " Trust me and hoping no one asks follow-up questions? The Giants ask them anyway. And that is only scratching the surface of the detours they take while trying to talk about Superman’s journey.If you enjoy passionate nonsense, comic book philosophy, and four grown adults trying to make sense of a movie that refuses to stay on the rails, this episode is your comfort food. Settle in and enjoy another round of heroic chaos.#tangentialgiants #superman #jamesgunn #dcu #dcuniverse #supermanmovie #dccomics #comicbookmovies #nerdpodcast #superherotalk #moviebreakdown #GuyGardner #greenlantern #metropolis #PocketUniverse #popculturepodcast #dcfans #supermananalysis #moviediscussions
