Our house was a Mortal Kombat house, and while we did play Street Fighter occasionally, MK was the game of choice. And don’t even get me started on the movie! The trip to the theater was an event!

I loved Power Rangers when I was a kid, but sadly, I think I had grown out of the series by the time Michael Copon had joined the team. While I didn’t watch Time Force growing up, I enjoy seeing what projects Rangers have on the way. Over the years, I’ve had a few encounters with Michael, and I always look forward to catching up because he seems to always have something going on or coming soon.

Like most kids in the 90s, I grew up playing Street Fighter, and when I got word that there was going to be a live-action film, I was ecstatic. While the film didn’t exactly deliver as I expected it to it still remains a staple of my collection. What can I say?

I've really been into collecting cards lately. I'm not sure why really, I think a lot of it has to do with nostalgia, but either way, because of which I recently ended up at Collect-A-Con with my kid a few weeks back. We weren't able to attend on Saturday because of a scheduling conflict, and because of which we missed a performance by Vanilla Ice.

Our first card collecting event was a blast, and while my son and I don't need another hobby to bond over we had a great time. While in attendance, we were gifted a ton of cards, and there was nothing more exciting than racing home to analyze our spoils. Unboxing some good ones didn't hurt either!

As much as I enjoy Hocus Pocus, Ladybugs was always the film for me! While comparing the two is like apples and oranges, they do share Vinessa Shaw. And while soccer films aren’t for everyone, at least you get a free bowl of soup with the sports film!

Once upon a time, my Mother chanced on the film, Bindlestiffs, at the local Redbox. Little did she know, that film would become somewhat of a household legend. We’d buy it as gifts for friends and family for years to come, and ultimately I’d befriend a handful of the people involved in the project.

Udo Kier is one of those artists that have such a large and diverse resume that it’s daunting even beginning to decide what to talk about. I can remember walking up to his merch booth, and here’s Udo grinning ear to ear with a collection of images showered around him. It reminded me of those proud parents watching their children play at the park.
