I’d be down to watch random UFO documentaries and nothing else for the rest of my life, but I must admit that the current crop is pretty weak.

I guess that’s because so much “UFO stuff” is obvious bullshit through today’s lens, so the newer docs leave out most of the juicier (falser) accounts. Plus, in the era of smartphones with killer cameras, shoddy UFO footage is harder to defend.

If anything, I’m far more likely to dig up a super old UFO doc, even if it’s full of provably false stories and laughingly obsolete suggestions.

…I don’t know if The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry fits that bill, but since it came out in the ‘80s, at least it has a shot.

(I feel it’s only right to watch old UFO docs in 4×3 with grainy picture and raspy sound.)

Enjoy!

If you’ve ever stayed at one of Disney’s hotels in or near the parks, you should be aware of those endlessly looping videos that gush about the various attractions and amenities.

Here’s the 1987 version of those videos, made specifically for Walt Disney World.

Sooo much nostalgia buried in this one, guys. Things we now consider “antique” are treated as fresh and new, and there’s all sorts of stuff that WDW dropped years ago.

Love it.

We’ll skip the formal surveys for tonight, but if you wanna chat about old-and-new Disney park junk, have at it!

Well, here’s the perfect way to end your weekend. It’s a full episode of Unsolved Mysteries, seen as it was originally broadcast back in 1989, with commercials:

FYI: I check Amazon daily to see if they’ve added any new streaming episodes. Sadly, they’ve been stuck on Season 4 for a while. As soon as Season 5 hits, I’ll be doing another “spookiest segments” article.

Tonight’s survey:

What’s the scariest Unsolved Mysteries segment you’ve ever seen?

(And yeah, I’m pretty sure I’ve run this survey before, but whatever, I will never ever tire of Unsolved Mysteries discussions.)

Here’s the 1986 remake of Invaders from Mars, which as I understand it is not very good!

…on the other hand, judging by pro reviews, most of the movies I love aren’t very good. I will say that I kinda scanned through the timeline on this one and did notice some interesting effects.

Tonight’s survey:

Name your three favorite ALIENS from all walks of pop culture.

They can be scary, funny, monstrous or humanoid, so long as they’re not from Earth!
