It included some groundbreaking stage effects to help us envision a real Delorean. On tour now.     Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay gets post apocalyptic with Denzel Washington’s 2010 film The Book of Eli.

    Enjoy Stuff: Go Whole Hog!

    Wake up wood chuck chuckers! It's Groundhog Day! Come on a trip to Punxsutawney as we explore the lore of the legendary holiday and revisit (again) Bill Murray's classic movie on Enjoy Stuff! Who knows what weather lies in the hearts of men? The shadow knows! Well, the groundhog’s shadow. It’s always fun to watch Bill Murray’s movie for the twentieth time, and that’s just in one viewing! Let’s look at some trivia and find out if it’s going to be an early spring, or eternal darkness.  News This dude spent 2 years creating a giant Clone Wars battle scene out of LEGO  Got the munchies? How about some Totino's Pizza flavored Cinnamon Toast Crunch? And speaking of cereal, have you seen or tried the Friends (The one with the vanilla latte) Cereal?   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we’re Enjoying What would you do if your body was being replaced by chrome nanites? How would the world react with the threat of an alien infestation? That’s the question in the book that Shua is Enjoying, “The Singularity Trap” by Dennis E. Taylor. An Audible exclusive and another great Sci-Fi book. Jay revisited an Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece from 1954, “Rear Window” starring Jimmy Stewart. One of many brilliant pieces of art from the legendary director. It will keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you guessing.      Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay travels to Pandora in the 2009 James Cameron extravaganza, Avatar. While it may borrow ideas from a lot of different sources, it’s a beautiful watch with some important themes. So start recycling people! Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU. Enjoy Groundhogs!  Jay and Shua take a deep dive into the history of Groundhog Day and the 1993 classic Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. They explore how the holiday started and how it turned into what we know today, where a groundhog predicts the weather for the year ahead, because, apparently, we trust rodents to be trustworthy meteorologists. The guys also dissect the beloved film, touching on the themes of personal growth, redemption, and how a guy stuck in the same day for so long can still teach us something about life. Along the way, they toss out their own theories on just how long Phil was trapped in that time loop and what it might have been like to live through it. And Jay gives Shua some trivia about the movie and the holiday that you probably didn’t know, unless, of course, you're a groundhog. What do you like about Groundhog Day? Do you want to hear a joke about Deja Vu?  First person that emails me with the subject line, “I got you babe” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

    childhoods. This week we look at generations of playing with He-Man, Hot Wheels, and more toys that kept us from doing our homework on Enjoy Stuff!

Tune into Enjoy Stuff for a look back at the toys that defined generations!

Shua tried to find out when he rewatched a Shua Family favorite, the 2011 revival, The Muppets. It’s a fun romp with the classic characters and a few new friends, like the whistling Muppet fan, Walter. Plus, it resurfaced some great memories with his kids. Jay re-read Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline. Despite not having the same umph as the first book, there were some good moments that celebrated the pop culture we grew up with.      Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay slingshots back and forth with The Time Traveler’s Wife (2009). In this fairly unique take on time travel, Henry (Eric Bana) has a genetic condition that causes him to boomerang through time. Which makes it pretty hard for Clare (Rachel McAdams) to have an engaging marriage, (or at least throw a good surprise party).  Read his article on RetroZap.com.

With a side of humor and a sprinkle of nostalgia, they also discuss the evolution of Mattel’s lineup, including the iconic He-Man action figures—because nothing says "childhood" like battling over who had the better sword.    The guys also dig into some classics too, like the 3D magic of the View-Master (which was basically your first VR headset, minus the headache) and the intense, back-and-forth slugfests of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. As they chat about Mattel's rise to toy royalty, they’ll take you on a wild ride through their most cherished memories, sharing funny stories about toys that taught us all how to "play hard" and sometimes "play dirty." Get ready for a rollercoaster of laughs and memories as they celebrate the legacy of a company that’s been keeping kids (and adults) entertained for eight decades.   Did we mention one of your favorite Mattel toys? Which ones shaped your childhood? First person that emails me with the subject line, “You can tell it's Mattel, it's swell!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.
