Rhonda Meets Jason: Up All Night on Friday the 13th

It’s not often that Halloween and Friday the 13th happen in the same month, but that’s exactly what we’re getting this October. This is as good as it gets for horror junkies. So, in honor of today being Friday the 13th, let’s take a look back to Friday, November 13th, 1992, when USA Up All … Continue reading Rhonda Meets Jason: Up All Night on Friday the 13th →

Happy 90th, Julie Newmar

One of these days I’m going to turn more of this blog’s attention to the 1960s Batman television show. Obviously, my pop culture loves range far and wide, so it’s hard to squeeze them all in here, but Batman was critical to my childhood, my love of comic books, and my development into a scholar … Continue reading Happy 90th, Julie Newmar →

Not sure what she’s drinking, but I’ll have what she’s having. The sitcom that … Continue reading Bombshells and Bosom Buddies →

Bad Cat, Indeed: Samantha “Sunshine” Jensen Redux

My soft spot for Baby Pfeiffer is legendary, but I’m not alone. My friends and fellow super pfans Kelda, Paul, Juan, and Stacy (RIP), to name just a few, love Baby Pfeiffer with the same sort of fanatical zeal as I do. Every now and then I take a deep dive into the early roles … Continue reading Bad Cat, Indeed: Samantha “Sunshine” Jensen Redux →
