Eugene McGuinness - Monster Under The Bed
 |
Eugene McGuinness isn’t anyone I’ve ever heard of before that I can remember. This is his brand new video, and it’s pretty darn swanky stuff. |
The Inner Life of the Cell
 |
I’m not even going to pretend that I know what this guy is talking about but it sure as hell does look pretty trippy and neat, so that’s okay by me. |
A History Of Sci-Fi Television
 |
I think this must have been made sometime in the late 80’s or around that time frame. It’s pretty damn dated but I still find stuff like this interesting. |
Olivia Newton John & ELO - Xanadu
 |
“The dream that came through a million years, that lived on through all the tears…it came to Xanadu” They certainly don’t make cheese like this anymore. |
Tony Blair’s Farewell Speech
 |
Good old Tony tells you how history will be the final judge and that he can really tilt his head like nobody has ever tilted their head before. |
Dave Hill - King of Miami
 |
Dave Hill is so much more way cooler than you can ever possibly hope to be so please don’t even think about challenging him for his crown. |
Inspector Gadget - Health Spa
 |
Your typical Gadget adventure. Dr. Claw tries his best to whack the bumbling detective but luckily his niece Penny and her dog Brain save everyone. |
Marvin Suggs - Witch Doctor
 |
“When I say ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang walla walla, bing bang. Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang walla walla, bing bang…” |
John Safran vs Mormons
 |
Have you ever been woken up at an ungodly hour by a pair of Mormon dorks with their mountain bikes and LDS literature? If so, check this out. |
Fight Science
 |
Watch this National Geographic special and you’ll find out all sorts of scientific stuff about martial artists beating the living hell out of each other. |
The Drinky Crow Show - Pilot
 |
I seriously think that this adaptation of the Maakies comic strip might be one of the best pilots ever to run on [adult swim] and I can’t wait to see more of it. |
King of Jazz - Happy Feet
 |
I think the first time I heard this song was when Kermit the Frog did it on The Muppet Show. This version of it is from the 1930 film, King of Jazz featuring Bing Crosby. |
Whitest Kids U’Know - Timmy Poops His Pants
 |
These guys have a show on the Fuse network, and although I never really watch anything on that channel I was lucky enough to catch this the other night. They are certainly A-ok in my book. |
The World’s Most Dangerous Drug - Meth
 |
The Nazis were huge fans of meth and gave it out to pilots and tank crews in a chocolate dosed with the stuff. That is just crazy insane. |
Wings - Band On The Run
 |
I’d like to offer my birthday wishes to Sir Paul McCartney on this, his 65th year of spinning out corny pop masterpieces like this for us mortals to get stuck in our heads. |
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan - Ceti Eels
 |
“You see, their young enter through the ears and wrap themselves around the cerebral cortex. This has the effect of rendering the victim extremely susceptible to suggestion. Later as they grow follows madness and death.” |
Melodium - Felt Melt (Primitive Version)
 |
Sometimes I find minimal animation styles to be much more appropriate and suitable for some situations and this is absolutely one of these times. I’m really digg’n the music too. |
Twice Upon a Time
 |
“Call me F.G.M. I hate excess verbiage.” If you have never seen this before, it is a really great yet obscure animated film that is just screaming out for a DVD release. |
Spider-Man - Cloud City Of Gold
 |
This is a lot less like your typical Spiday adventure and a lot more like something that would happen to Tarzan or Indiana Jones. |
The Real Computer Monster
 |
I’m guessing this is something from Henson and Oz before Sesame Street was launched. I’m glad they took the teeth out when they recreated this guy as Cookie Monster. |
Brass Eye - Crime
 |
“I’m the little boy whose face you stabbed off in panic when I found you robbing my house, remember? I’m Marvin Gaye, shot by my own father – oh, yes, you know me all right.” |
War Corporatism - The New Fascism
 |
Are we heading towards the Third World War? Some people strongly argue that we are, and that it is just around the corner. I’m not so sure, but I’m not so not sure either. |
Monkey Dust - The Paedofinder General
 |
I’ve been watching Monkey Dust on the Sundance Channel recently, and it’s pretty damn good. This is a series of clips featuring one of the best characters from the show. |
Capricorn One
 |
“You know, when Apollo 17 landed on the Moon, people were calling up the networks and bitching because reruns of I Love Lucy were cancelled. Reruns, for Christ’s sake!” |
RCA Videodisc - Bring The Magic Home
 |
I actually own a SelectaVision player and a few movies for it. A friend knew I was into retro tech stuff and bought it for me at a thrift store for my birthday one year. I was thrilled! |
Dune - Paul VS Feyd
 |
So, I guess the lesson here is that if you ever get in a knife fight with Sting, you should bend like a reed in the wind. Well, at least that is what I get out of this clip. |
