Dino Drac’s February Funpack is here!
Okay gang, Dino Drac’s 2022 February Funpack is here! I’ll warn you that I’m on four hours of sleep, and may not have enough left in the tank for snappy item descriptions. If my copy seems weak, just focus on the pretty pictures.
LIMITED SUPPLY! U.S. ONLY!
We have a theme! The February 2022 Funpack is meant to spark memories of the after-school afternoons of your youth — the cartoons, the snacks, the toys and the vibe. It’s a box loaded with everything from Corn Nuts to plastic rats, dammit, and for $25 shipped, it can be yours!
Ongoing subscriptions are maxed out, but I do have a number of spares that I can sell on an individual basis. Scroll down to order one, or keep reading to learn about everything in this month’s Funpack! Read More…
Commercials from a 1993 Broadcast of The Exorcist!
Well, in keeping with my long-standing tradition of dropping big content at the worst possible time, here’s a 16-minute video on Super Bowl Sunday!
This one is very special to me. Today we’re gonna dive into a 1993 network television broadcast of The Exorcist, and pluck out five of the best TV commercials that aired during it. Everything from Triples Cereal to Boku!
Bonus points: This aired on *WPIX*, and it’s in fact how I first saw The Exorcist, way back in ‘93!
Really hope you guys dig this one, since I plan to do more videos like this in the future. Come for the scary demon child, stay for the shoutout to Betty Crocker’s FunDaMiddles!
If you get a chance to pass the video around, I’d appreciate it! If you can’t squeeze me into your big football day, remember to watch it later!
