    Enjoy Stuff: Toil and Trouble

    What magical profession has been around longer than just about any other? Witches! This week we look at the history of those magical maidens and some of the more popular interpretations of them on Enjoy Stuff.    Where do witches come from? And who are some of the most famous? Tune in and find out!   News Henry Cavill joins the live action Voltron movie Wendy’s kids meals have fun Halloween characters with a donation to charity Gladiator II is the latest movie to get a cool popcorn bucket TRON: Catalyst is the newest video game being released from the Grid There’s a cool new LEGO lightsaber, complete with a Kyber crystal   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we’re Enjoying Shua was not ready for prime time when he saw the new movie Saturday Night. It’s the tale of the first, hectic night of the long running NBC skit comedy show Saturday Night Live. While not being 100% accurate, it is very informative and extremely entertaining with good performances of the legendary comedians and others involved in the creation of this American icon. Jay is Enjoying the HBO dramatic series The Penguin, an origin story of the classic DC comics Batman villain. Colin Farrell’s amazing transformation into the title character is phenomenal.      31 Days of Horror Check out Jay’s spooky articles all through the month of October. This week he features: 21.Empire of the Ants (1977) 22.Eight Legged Freaks (2002) 23.Lake Placid (1999)  24.Ticks (1993) 25.Tremors (1990)  26.The Mist (2007) [Sci-Fi] 27.Black Sunday (1960)  Read them now at RetroZap.com  Enjoy Witches!  For hundreds of years witches have been the source of stories and fear. But the origins and creators of these fears are way scarier than what might have been actual practicing witches. A written record of a witch dates back almost 3000 years ago. In the mid 1400s some really ignorant and cowardly men wrote a book that created a hysteria of violence towards women who they accused of practicing witchcraft (whether they were or not)   Have we become wiser and more evolved today? Well, probably not. But we have a ton of witch characters in TV, books, and movies that can entertain us and even make us question the wisdom of how we treat others. Classic characters like Elphaba and Glenda from Wizard of Oz have lasted generations. Cartoon favorites like Maleficent, Broomhilda, and Sabrina gave us opportunities to laugh at the characters as kids.    Then, at the end of the 20th century, the characters in Harry Potter truly showed that witches could be powerful heroes. It really changed people’s perspectives of witches in our culture. Now we see them pop up in all kinds of different ways, both good and bad. We have no doubt that witches’ legendary status will last forever.  Which witch do you watch? Who's your favorite?

    Enjoy Stuff: …In Moderation

    Growing up we loved to experience edgy comedy without getting too edgy ourselves. That's why Cheech and Chong were so popular to us. So come on a journey of nice dreams and Enjoy Stuff!   On this 4th season and 20th episode of Enjoy Stuff we look back at two ‘buds’ that have been making people laugh for years. Cheech and Chong!   News Ewan MacGregor gets a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Brian May recovering from a stroke, but celebrates his recovery by opening a new Queen album The Time Bandits reboot has been cancelled after only one season   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we’re Enjoying Shua jumped head first into the pile of bricks that is LEGO Star Wars Rebuilding the Galaxy.

Check it out on Disney+. Jay is enjoying the second season of Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. It has a more epic feel and is giving a very entertaining interpretation of Tolkien’s Middle Earth backstory of the origin of the rings and of Sauron.      Enjoy Movies!  Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong met in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1969, and started a friendship that lasts to today. They found they had a similar sense of humor and began improv together. They expanded to opening for others, and eventually headlining large venues. Their movies aren’t deep, and often centered around infantile and drug humor, but it influenced a lot of people and set us on the path of understanding…well, a little. We still don’t understand the Corsican Brothers. Whether you loved them or hated them, they have been an important part of our culture and the comedy world.    What’s your opinion on Cheech and Chong? Where’s dave?
