Hey guys and welcome
to retro Crunch, today we'll talk about The Guardians of the Galaxy 2, an
update on the Power Rangers Movie, we'll talk about CHIPS, and an update on
Steven Kings IT, all that and more today on RETRO CRUNCH!
Hey guys, Welcome back to RETRO CRUNCH, the
show that is all about Current Pop Culture, Movies, Music, and Games that
relates to all things 70s, 80s, and 90s!
So, Lets not waste any time and start right now!
The first thing I
want to talk about is some of the new MOVIES that have come out recently:
Guardians of the
Galaxy - I have to say, its pretty good. And Drax the Destroyer took no time
making Volume 2 his chance to shine - not to mention he had some of the
funniest lines in the movie.
For me, the plot was
a little bit confusing to follow, and for the non Marvel fans, it could be hard
to understand. But, that being said, the
casting of Kurt Russell as EGO was pretty sweet and I loved how EGO basically showed his true
nature by explaining the lyrics of the song Brandy to Peter.
And then there's the
new Music, aptly named Awesome Mix Volume 2. Right from the beginning of the movie,
StarLord has a new cassette for his Sony Walkman and a badass lineup of songs on it to boot. Some of my favorites were Fox on the Run, The
Chain, and Flash Light.
Also, as if that’s
not enough, there's a bonus song that was created just for the film called
Guardians Inferno which includes Mr. David Hasselhoff himself. As much as people dog on the Hoff, the dudes
a hellofa good sport and really does add to the fun of the movie.
And next up is the
Power Rangers movie, which finally seems to have just about sizzled out. The Power Rangers first premiered in the US
on FOX way back in 1993. And just for reference,
I was a highschooler back then and I still loved watching the show! But this movie has been a long time
coming! If the 80s kids can have the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, and Ghostbusters reboots - HEY why
not the 90s kids turn to get theirs, right??
Although this movie
is no Voltron, and didn’t have the star
power of a Marvel movie, as of May 21st,
its made more than 90 Million dollars, so not too shabby! And Last thing on this - Ultraman would have
moved some grass. Just sayin'
And finally, there's
CHIPS. Ok, where do I start… This is not my CHIPS, and I don’t think its
really trying to be. The directors
definitely decided on the comedic approach and pulled it off pretty well, but
it’s a far cry from the original..
It does star Michael
Pena as Ponchareli - who I LOVED in AntMan, and also Dax Shephard as Jon who
also played in the 2000's medical comedy, SCRUBS. The original CHIPS series ran from
1977-1983, but this new one looks like its gonna run from MAYBE late March to
May and that’s it.
Also, there's some
new footage for Steven Kings remake of IT that will be out in theaters
September 8th. Apparently this new
footage was presented last week at the MTV Movie awards and really spooked out
the audience. I don’t doubt it though,
even the original is pretty creepy. But
Im really stoked to see this movie and cant wait till it comes out.
Plus, for you guys
that still sit around in your underroos eating cereal and watching old kid
shows, OK, maybe that’s just me, don’t judge.
But anyways - Mister Rogers is Back!
If you grew up watching Mister Rogers or remember it from your
childhood, pop on over to Twitch.tv and catch all the episodes in their
marathon. They are running all 886 episodes back to back, courtesy of PBS.
And I have a bonus
link from a article just posted by federalist.com. It lists 20 horrible fashions from the 80s and 90s that are back in style! Some of the pics are, well… you'll just have to check them out
yourself.. And just in case your
interested, ill provide links for everything I've talked about today down
below.
