Old junk food.
No video tonight, as I’m facing a deadline that cannot be pushed!
Instead, let’s just do a little survey:
Name a discontinued junk food item that you’d KILL to eat one last time.
(Both store-bought snacks and fast food items count.)
We’re gonna make each other hungry tonight.
Demons!
Tonight’s movie is Demons, from 1985.
I think IMDB’s plot summary sells it best: A group of random people are invited to a screening of a mysterious movie, only to find themselves trapped in the theater with ravenous demons.
Warning: This one gets gory. (I doubt you’re surprised.)
Tonight’s survey:
Name a place you’d like to visit before you die. Assume money is no object!
(I didn’t mean to word that so macabrely. I guess it fits, considering tonight’s film choice!)
American Gladiators!
Here’s a random episode of American Gladiators, from 1992:
Mixed emotions about this show. As I recall, American Gladiators aired after all of the cartoons wrapped up on Saturday morning, signaling a long stretch of hours where there’d be nothing on television.
So, I’d be sitting there watching people bash each other with those giant foam turkey legs or whatever, completely dreading those final minutes. Once American Gladiators ended, all I had were news programs, grainy movies from 1972 and the occasional car race.
Tonight’s survey:
…has nothing to do with American Gladiators.
In the comments, tell everyone about one of your favorite giant monsters.
You can take “giant monster” however you like. Godzilla, Stay Puft, Falkor the Luck Dragon… whatever.
Can be from a toon, show, movie, video game — doesn’t matter!
Oops!
I uh… I completely lost track of time. And now it’s midnight. OOPS.
So let’s just do a survey tonight.
Say Dino Drac After Dark had its own jukebox.
…not a big stretch, because I’ve been secretly working on one for a few weeks now. (Stay tuned!)
Name a song that should be on it.
I was originally going to stick with moody themes, but I’m open to all sorts of ideas. Obviously, the songs shouldn’t be too loud, aggressive or “bright.” Think of a song or theme that’s just better after midnight and not at a deafening volume.
Who knows? The song you suggest may end up on the official DDAD jukebox, which should launch in a week or two!
