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.123 – Post Decpte-Con Catch Up – A Review of Comic-Con News 2026 – Tangential Giants Podcast

Kareem finally reconnects with Ken and Pat after missing their Comic‑Con panel, and the guys waste no time recapping how their talk on the downfall of billionaires in comics somehow turned into a crowd‑pleaser. Pat insists they were profound. Ken insists they were unhinged. Both are probably right.From there, the conversation swerves into the tall grass. The trio tries to figure out why Transformers actually transform, whether “Decepticons” is a name that should have been retired decades ago, and how to stitch G.I. Joe, Transformers, and the Fast and the Furious into one cinematic universe without breaking the laws of physics or taste.It is exactly the kind of episode where a simple Comic‑Con debrief becomes a dissertation on toy‑based geopolitics, automotive theology, and franchise chaos theory.Settle in.
