Purple Stuff: A Nightmare on Elm Street!
Since we had so much fun recording our Friday the 13th show, this week’s topic seemed only natural:
Yes, the latest Purple Stuff Podcast is all about FREDDY KRUEGER.
This week, me and Jay from The Sexy Armpit run through a dozen of our favorite things about the entire Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, from the most creative kills to the best toys to Freddy’s strangest appearances outside of his movies.
Give us a listen by clicking the giant, ugly play button down below!

Thanks as always for listening to the show and for helping to spread the word! Hope we can add a little fun to your weekend! Read More…
Dino Drac’s March 2017 Funpack!
Hooray! I’m finally ready to reveal the goods!
(AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES ONLY!)
Dino Drac’s March Funpack is here!
Obligatory spiel: I create and sell monthly Funpacks, stuffed with old and new nonsense. Without the profits from these boxes, I wouldn’t be able to run Dino Drac. So on top of getting cool boxes filled with neat stuff, you’re also ensuring another month’s worth of Kool-Aid reviews and video store trip reports.
The Funpacks are $25 per month, and that includes shipping. Subscriptions are handled via Paypal. For as long as you choose to stay subscribed, you’ll be billed automatically every month and continue to receive Funpacks! Of course, you can cancel at any time without penalty.
To all subscribers, old and new: Thank you so much for keeping the site afloat!
Let’s see what’s in store for the March 2017 Funpack! Read More…
Video Store Adventure #3: Four Star Video!
Half a week later, and I’m still in shock. We found another still-functioning video store, and it was somehow even better than the last two!
(…which you can read about here and here, if you haven’t already.)
Say hello to Four Star Video. Part of a sleepy strip mall in Vineland, New Jersey, me and Jay ventured there on a hot tip from someone who knows the owner. I had no idea what to expect, but no reason to expect anything even approaching this level of awesomeness.
I mean, it still had a damn VHS dropbox built into its facade. My God. Read More…
Kong Milkshakes at Johnny Rockets!
We’re all excited about Kong: Skull Island, right?
I am, at least. The gorilla is one thing, but the idea of a nightmarish island where evolution plays by wickedly different rules is enough to make me see any Kong movie. The fact that this one stars John F’n Goodman just makes it an even easier sell.
Movies this big don’t debut without fanfare. To help encourage on-the-fencers to pick Skull Island over Logan, Mr. Kong teamed up with Johnny Rockets to offer… erm… his own milkshakes.
It’s pretty much the same as Johnny Rockets’ Goosebumps promotion from 2015. The twin centerpieces are a pair of King Kong milkshakes, which both use bananas as a primary ingredient. (Apes love bananas, remember.)
I went there with Jay from The Sexy Armpit, in part because eating alone at a Johnny Rockets is what I’d doodle if someone asked me to draw anxiety, but also because I HATE BANANAS. I thought I’d need Jay to give me a more objective view of the taste. Read More…
