Oreo O's are back | Flatliners Reboot? | SDCC 2017 GIJOE Exclusive Toys!





Hey guys, Welcome back to RETRO CRUNCH, the nostalgia show that is all about Current Pop Culture, Movies, Music, and Games that relates to all things 70s, 80s, and 90s! 

Who doesn’t love OREO's.  Ok, well most of us love them anyways.  Well back in 1998 Oreos debut the cereal OREO O's and then  freakin discontinued them back in 2007.  Well  Thank goodness the SUGAR gods have answered our prayers and they are back in stores this June after 10 years!  

Whats interesting about this is, people loved this cereal so much when it was discontinued people were paying like 220 bucks for a box on EBAY.  I liked them myself, but daaaammnnn that’s a lot of money..  Also, the company POST, that makes OREO O's says they DID NOT change the recipe for this new release.   Anyways - go out and get you some O's!!  

Then in Movie news, FlatLiners is being reboot or sequeled, or something..  And I Cant wait to find out!  From watching the preview trailer, theres some similarities, but this new one looks a lot creepier, but it does sorta lack that star appeal.  The original movie featured a seminal cast of some of the best actors and actresses of its generation, but the new reboot has more up and comers and shows more of a technical ride in the psychy of the mind than its former.  

Keifer Sutherland is going to be in this reboot, so it does seem like it could be a loosely connected sequel, and maybe we will find that the Keifer is introduced somewhere near the middle of the movie and tells how he and a group of friends tried the same experiment 20 years before and opened a portal to hell.  Well, whatever it is, im sure he will play an imortal role.   

And in the Comics scene.  One of the Oldest and hard to find GI JOE playsets of the early 80s is going to be re-released at the San Diego ComiCon, which I still have not been too.  It is the Exclusive HASBRO GI Joe Cobra Missile Command Headquarters.  The original set was released in 1982 and 83 and was discontinued by 1984 and in part is rare because it is made of cardboard and this alone makes it fragile and hard to maintain over many years.  

Its really hard to find and the one I did find for sale on EBAY, they wanted 450.00 dollars for.  I never had the set growing up, but it was certainly on my radar!  Since its coming back as an exclusive again, maybe ill pick it up.  The set will be sold at the SDCC hasbro booth for 49.99 and you can buy it for a short time after SDCC at hasbrotoyshop.com. 

Lastly, some other stuff updates.. 

Looks like a recent toxicology report has determined the cause of death of Carey Fisher to be related to not only her bout with Sleep Apnea, but also they found recent use of cocaine, heroin, and extacy in her system.  Shes diaried her long bout with drug use in her memoirs and interviews and I just hope now that the family can have some closure. 

And last, is that The fresh prince and Jazzy jeff are going to be reuniting for a 2 night performance in Europe this august.  Wish to hell they'd bring this act to the states cause I for one would be in line to go to see these guys play!   

And that’s it for this RETRO news update.
