It's time to celebrate Canada Day! July 1 marks a big, national celebration for our neighbors to the north, so Jay and Shua remind us 'mericans about some famous celebrities who have called Canada their home and share some interesting facts along the way. It's time to Enjoy Stuff, eh!   Oh, Canada! We love our upstairs neighbors but sometimes we tend to have the wrong ideas about the second largest nation. Hopefully the boys can clear up a few misconceptions about a beautiful country with some rich history.    News Disney+ will be releasing a collection of restored, classic cartoon shorts We love the artistry and talent of Stephen Richter’s 3D sculpt of Drew Struzan’s classic Indiana Jones poster   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends   What we’re Enjoying This week Shua completed his summer chores while lazy book reading The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece: a Novel by Tom Hanks. It’s a unique take on how a movie gets made, with stories of the origins of characters decades before to the fictional background of how characters got involved in the movie business. Jay is enjoying the most recent season of the Netflix hit Black Mirror.

Enjoy Stuff: Oh Canada!

As we celebrate the father-figures in our lives, we remember some of the ones that made the most difference, ...our TV Dads. Sure they may be goofy and make tons of mistakes, but in the end we knew they loved us...er, their family. But what if we swapped them for a different TV Dad? Jay and Shua mess with the multiverse of dads on Enjoy Stuff!   Got a problem? Go to your TV Dad! But what if Walter White had to help Jan Brady? Ward Cleaver helping the Soprano children? Who knows? They may have been great. We ponder it all this week.    News Atari publishes their first game cartridge since 1990! Get ready to revisit the classic board game, Crossbows and Catapults The new Ghostbusters 4 teaser poster is mysterious and awesome! This fall we will get a brand new Monster Cereal flavor, made with bits of real zombie We have some amazing ducking news about iPhone’s autocorrect feature   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends   What we’re Enjoying If you’re wondering why Jay is wearing a trenchcoat and fedora it’s because he’s gone noir. After reading a cool book on the genre, he’s been revisiting great movies like Chinatown and LA Confidential. And make sure to check out the interesting story of the making of the Godfather with The Offer. Shua found a TechnoRetro game on his iPhone with the updated version of Lemmings. How many will you need to sacrifice in order to win?   Enjoy TV!  TV Dads were certainly a big influence on us growing up. Despite the many really dumb things that they did, in the end they were there for us. Even if they were just on TV. But in honor of Father’s Day this year, we ponder what some iconic television families would have been like if we swapped out dads from other shows. It’s a crazy, fatherly experiment on Enjoy Stuff.    Were there TV dads that influenced you growing up? Who would you swap out on your favorite TV shows?

Get ready to revisit the classic board game, Crossbows and Catapults The new Ghostbusters 4 teaser poster is mysterious and awesome! This fall we will get a brand new Monster Cereal flavor, made with bits of real zombie We have some amazing ducking news about iPhone’s autocorrect feature <a href="http://tee.pub/lic/TechnoRetro" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends</a> What we’re Enjoying If you’re wondering why Jay is wearing a trenchcoat and fedora it’s because he’s gone noir. After reading a cool book on the genre, he’s been revisiting great movies like Chinatown and LA Confidential. And make sure to check out the interesting story of the making of the Godfather with The Offer. Shua found a TechnoRetro game on his iPhone with the updated version of Lemmings. How many will you need to sacrifice in order to win? Enjoy TV!  TV Dads were certainly a big influence on us growing up. Despite the many really dumb things that they did, in the end they were there for us. Even if they were just on TV. But in honor of Father’s Day this year, we ponder what some iconic television families would have been like if we swapped out dads from other shows. It’s a crazy, fatherly experiment on Enjoy Stuff.  Were there TV dads that influenced you growing up? Who would you swap out on your favorite TV shows? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Nobody Likes a Tattletale” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

Enjoy Stuff: Mix it Up, Daddy-O!

Stock up on those rations and race to that bomb shelter, because it's Global Thermonuclear War! Or is it? Jay and Shua look back on 40 years of the classic movie WarGames with Matthew Broderick.    WarGames not only kept us on the edge of our seat wondering if WW3 was about to start, but it also helped to shape policies and events in our nation’s government. Come with us as we revisit a dramatic 80s cold war movie.   News RIP to the iconic singer Tina Turner The recently renovated Brady Bunch house is now up for sale (y’know, if you have any pocket change…and really big pockets) It’s not too late, for you to Whip It! Whip It Good! with a new Devo ReAction figure Plop into your bean bag with a plate of delicious brownies and get ready for the Sid and Marty Krofft channel 21st century technology gets poured into our cereal with the new Lucky Charms Hidden Dragon cereal Ferris Bueller’s Day Off finally arrives on 4K BluRay (Danke Schoen!) Dive into the OASIS (…-like) virtual reality headset with Apple Vision Pro   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends   What we’re Enjoying Shua recently finished another John Scalzi novel called ‘Redshirts’, which is about exactly what you’d think….those poor bastards from science fiction that are always getting killed on away missions. But this one has a twist. They begin to realize it. Audiobook narrated by Wil Wheaton. Jay finally returned to Pandora and watched the visually rich Avatar: The Way of Water. He agreed that it was a sight to behold.    Enjoy Movies!  1983 was a scary time in our country. We seemed to constantly be on pins and needles wondering if the Soviets were going to start an all-out nuclear war. But it was an exciting time too. The personal computer was making its way into our homes and giving us access to the outside world.   That is a brilliant recipe for a dramatic movie. Wargames became that movie, where a young computer hacker named David Lightman, played by a very young Matthew Broderick, who only had two acting credits to his name before this movie, unknowingly breaks into the military’s computer system and nearly starts World War 3.   It was very well executed and made us question the possibilities of the future. It even made President Reagan a little nervous. After watching it, he requested an investigation to research the dangers of hacking and how we could take precautions against it.    And of course, it give Wade Watts an interesting challenge to accomplish in the Ready Player One novel by Earnest Cline.    Have you experienced WarGames? Did you like experimenting with computers? Who, exactly, are you going to Paris with? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Greetings Professor Falken” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

Enjoy Stuff: 65,000,030 Years in the Making

Wind up your radio for a look back at the king of wacky radio, Dr. Demento! Enjoy Stuff looks back at the zaniness of the parodies and comedy bits he played and what made us laugh so hard. From Fish Heads to Dead Puppies, it's time to get Demented!   Parodies and comedy are great, but has there ever been one place that specializes in only those classics? Look no further than Dr. Demento! He’s the bearded, top hat-wearing radio DJ that made Weird Al famous and Shaving Cream naughty. This week we look back on all the laughs.    News We have a premiere dated for Only Murders in the Building Star Wars Galactic Star Cruiser to close this fall. We share our thoughts LEGO will release a sweet Pac-Man build that moves and all kinds of stuff! Alamo Drafthouse has offered a collectible Indiana Jones glass for the release of Dial of Destiny   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends   What we’re Enjoying Shua is enjoying some Mayhem! But he’s trying to relax because he’s just watching The Muppets Mayhem on Disney+. It’s a pretty good interpretation of our favorite rock band, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. All while trying to record their first album. Jay is running a local Memorial Day 5k, probably as you read this! Isn’t it good when we can stay fit and active?   Enjoy Music!  Dr. Demento was filling the radio airwaves with funny songs for years. His real name is Barrett Hanson, but we all know him as Dr. Demento. During the 70s and 80s he had a syndicated radio show where he played many song parodies, stand-up, comedy, routines, and recorded skits. But that really doesn’t even come close to describing all of the crazy kinds of humor he had on his demented show. This week, Jay and Shua revisit some of their favorites and talk about what made it so funny.   Be sure to check out our YouTube playlist for some great Dr. Demento memories  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw8odn9KH-emDSo2LGA791vDNBRC_zvqY   Have you ever listened to Dr. Demento?

Enjoy Stuff: Stay Demented!

Join Jay and Shua each week as they share the fun and fandom of their youth.  Topics range from the 70s, 80s, and 90s in addition to today's pop culture.  From science fiction and fantasy films to TV &amp; games, Shua and Jay reminisce, relive, revisit, and review their favorites at the beginning of each week.

Star Wars - Return of the Jedi turns 40 this week! Join Jovial Jay and Shua as they look back at what memories they hold dear from 1983. Premieres to Paraphernalia, we remember what made a difference in our lives. And Jay quizzes Shua on Jedi-opardy. All that from a certain point of view on Enjoy Stuff!   Return with us (Or Revenge with us. We’re not picky) to a time when Ewoks were new and Jabba the Hutt was a mysterious new creature that we couldn’t wait to learn about. It’s the 40th anniversary of Star Wars - Return of the Jedi!   News A cereal-ific Easter egg appears in Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 Star Trek fans can now virtually tour every Enterprise bridge Netflix is soon premiering a 3-part documentary about Arnold Schwarzenegger Now you can get the Stranger Things Dungeons &amp; Dragons RPG Starter Set for free! All the Indiana Jones will be available on Disney+ on May 30!   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends   What we’re Enjoying Jay watched a fun, crazy Bollywood movie called Polite Society. A heist, action, comedy that is a ton of fun to check out. Shua just got back from Punta de Mita, Mexico where he actually tried to relax for a few days (and almost even succeeded a couple of times)   Sci-Fi Saturdays/MCU Location Scout Jay has updated MCU Location Scout with new locations from Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3. It’s a great rabbit hole to explore. And also, don’t forget to read his articles called  Sci-Fi Saturdays on Retrozap.com   Enjoy Movies!    Return of the Jedi premiered 40 years ago this week. As Star Wars fans, we were highly anticipating the final chapter of the saga. And also preparing ourselves for never seeing another movie in the theaters. Regardless of what came after, 1983 was quite a year to indulge in all things Star Wars.    We talk about the transition from Revenge to Return in the title. Ultimately, it was the perfect change, but we got some rare products before George made the final decision.    Did you know that Jedi was one of only a handful of films that made some premieres in 70mm? 164 different theaters around the country got the chance to share this innovative format for us. Even if we weren’t always aware of what kind of awesomeness we were getting.    Jay and Shua share stories of seeing the movie on opening weekend, including the theaters where they saw them. While some of the theaters may have now been sent to the great Hollywood Heaven in the sky, we still have the memories.    Join us for a game of Jedi-opardy as Jay asks Shua some trivia questions centered around the actors and actresses featured in Return of the Jedi.    Did you see Return of the Jedi in 1983?

Head down to the closet under the stairs and reach for the bottom of the pile of board games for the classics! Since May is officially Star Wars season, we focus on some of the great, classic Star Wars games that we have loved to play over the years. Jay and Shua try to get the highest spin as they channel the Force on Enjoy Stuff!   After Jay’s review of Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, tune in for a history of board games and a look at some of the greatest classic Star Wars games.    News Dark Horse Comics and Mattel are releasing a very cool Masters of the Universe art book Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Honor Among Thieves gets a digital release with bonus features Beetlejuice 2 is officially announced NASA found the juice to keep Voyager 2 going for 3 more years! Kit Kat cereal is here! Gimme a break! Have you checked out the Gran Turismo trailer? David Tenant returns to Doctor Who for 60th Anniversary Return of the Jedi hits #4 at the box office   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends   What we’re Enjoying When Jay’s power goes out, he gets to dig into a book. The Big Goodbye: Chinatown and the Last Years of Hollywood by Sam Wasson tells some stories about one of the most classic eras of Hollywood and the drama around it. Shua is deep into season 2 of the Netflix series Shadow and Bone. He describes it as a ‘fantasy steam-punk’, which has a very unique feel.     Enjoy Games!    Board games have been around way longer than you realize. But are some of those historic games still being played? First we look back at some of the oldest games in human history that are still being played today. Dice has definitely been around the longest, dating all the way back to prehistoric times. But if you want something with an actual board, that would be the Royal Game of Ur, which has been played since 2650 BCE! Backgammon may no longer hold the title of oldest, but it sure has been around for a long time. There’s even an annual, world-wide game award from Germany, called the Spiel des Jahres. One game a year has been picked as the best since 1978.    There’s some great games that we grew up with that may not make it on the Spiel des Jahres list, but they were fun nevertheless. Classic, mainstream games like Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Mousetrap, Yahtzee, and more start our board game discussion with some nostalgia.    But it’s Star Wars month, so we pick some of the Star Wars favorites from the last 46 years. From the original Escape From Death Star game to the heyday of Revenge of the Sith products, these classic games give us so many varieties of game play. Listen in to see if your favorites made the list.    Which board games do you Enjoy playing? What Star Wars games would you add to the list?
