Thundercats Roar! Review

From the destroyed planet Thundara and hurtling through light years of space and thirty earth years, it’s the return of the Thundercats! But, these aren’t your father’s Thundercats. Therein lies the problem and the solution.

Slaughter’s ‘Stick It To Ya’ Turns 30

Pokemon the First Movie 20th Anniversary

Kevin Decent

As two new Pokemon video games were released this month it’s fitting to take a look back at the first movie of this absurdly successful franchise. While I was in my early twenties when this

Dogma’s 20th Anniversary

Kevin Decent

One of the things that is missing from our children of the 80’s discussions is what happened after the ’80s? What happened when we were no longer children? The 1990’s to thousands to tens have

You Fool! The Funniest Episode of Hollywood Squares

Kevin Decent

Rarely does an episode of a game show reach cult or memorable status. Ken Jennings Jeopardy! streak. The guy that figured out the pattern on Press Your Luck. Usually game shows are made to be

Remembering H.R. Pufnstuf

Kevin Decent

“Who are you? HR Shovnstuf?” For most of my generation, myself included, this line from Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls is the only reference to not only the work of HR Pufnstuf, but the entire

Kevin Decent

Elsewhere on The Retro Network is a post with my glowing review for the 35th anniversary of the GI Joe miniseries “The Revenge of Cobra”. A mere five years later and the GI Joe

Motley Crue’s Dr Feelgood 30th Anniversary

Kevin Decent

It is shocking to think that this album is 30 years old this month. Even more shocking, every member of the band is still alive 30 years later. Dr. Feelgood was Motley Crue’s first album

Beastie Boys Paul’s Boutique 30th Anniversary

Kevin Decent

Many people are aware of “Fight for Your Right to Party”. A little less went “Intergalactic”. Falling in between is an album that was seen as a failure on release. Now it’s considered one of

American Pie is An American Classic

Kevin Decent

American Pie is 20 years old today. That’s absurd to think that so much time has passed. Most of us watched it brand new when we were also in high school, graduating, or just

Garbage Pail Kids: The Game Review

Kevin Decent

Of course, I loved Garbage Pail Kids when I was a kid. Every generation needs its gross-out toy that parents don’t understand. GPK was our generation’s poop emoji. Disgusting, crass, deep down funny, and inappropriate in certain company.

Kevin’s High School Playlist

Kevin Decent

I remember finding my parents’ Beatles albums. Around the same time, my oldest cousin discovered his parents’ Led Zeppelin. That connection between generations has been something I’ve been aware of all my life. Yet this reflection back on my own high school music is absurd now that I have a child.
