[Retro Bunker] She-Ra: Princess of Power
Posted on October 26, 2010 | 3 CommentsSince I’m sharing my embarrassment on missing important anniversaries, this one shames me even more: She-Ra: Princess of Power also celebrated its twenty-fifth year. I feel like I should just turn in my badge and try to see if I can keep up with the... -
[Retro Bunker] Nintendo Entertainment System
Posted on October 25, 2010 | 4 CommentsIt has come to my attention that the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) just celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary of hitting the US market. And it is with great shame that I made this discovery and neglected to write about it. You know what an even bigger... -
[Retro Bunker] Richard Pryor and the Alphabet
Posted on October 1, 2010 | 3 CommentsLast week, the bouncy pop singer Katy Perry caused much controversy over her costume choice while performing “Hot N Cold” on Sesame Street. Outraged parents claimed that her costume (which contained mesh over the extra fleshy bits) was completely inappropriate and shouldn’t have been aired... -
[Retro Bunker] The Phantom Tollbooth (Film – 1970)
Posted on September 29, 2010 | No CommentsThere comes a time in a young nerd’s life when you graduate from Encyclopedia Brown and branch out into different areas of literature that would not only start you early on future SAT vocab, but would also get to contemplate how you viewed the world... -
[Retro Bunker] Imperial Margarine Commercials
Posted on September 22, 2010 | 2 CommentsInstant gratification: we’d all love some, but these days it’s hard to come by. Probably the fastest way to get a little bit of love is to run down to your local Burger King and pick up one of these babies: Or you can pop... -

Posted on September 22, 2010 | 8 CommentsMight it be safe now for dragons? Once upon a time, there was a little Canadian animation studio known as Lacewood Productions. They are probably best known, if they are known at all, for some work they did on Ren and Stimpy. They began, however,... -
[Retro Bunker] Ladybug Picnic
Posted on August 5, 2010 | 5 CommentsSummer’s here, and for California, that means the start of fire season. I’m not going to lie to you people: the summer in Los Angeles here has been bizarre this year: lingering marine layer, cooler-than-average temperatures, and the annoying aspect of having to wear sleeves... -
[Retro Bunker] A Loaf of Bread…
Posted on June 29, 2010 | 12 CommentsWe all go grocery shopping. However, I kind of doubt that we all have an earworm as we walk down the bread or dairy aisle. You know which earworm I’m talking about. Like many kids, I grew up watching the local Public Broadcasting Service in... -
[Retro Bunker] Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon
Posted on June 22, 2010 | 2 CommentsThe Last Dragon came about when martial arts movies in the U.S. were in their infancy, but the break-dancing, pre hip-hop generation was in full force. Motown mogul Barry Gordy had the idea to fuse the two sub-cultures into a riotous and deliciously 80s 109 minute kung-fu music video. -
[Retro Bunker] Eddie and the Cruisers
Posted on June 14, 2010 | 10 CommentsThere are a lot of good movies out there about real musicians, but Eddie Wilson is as real to me as anyone ever was. I'll fight anyone who tries to convince me otherwise.
