Another totally rad week of nostalgia has passed and The Weekly Links is back to wrap it all up for you! Here are some of the things I learned this week:
- Molly Ringwald and Juliette Lewis confirmed they are truly outrageous.
- Pac-man has been ghost chomping for 34 years and Christian Bale got paid to eat his cereal.
- Basements everywhere will get cleaned out thanks to the "D & D" relaunch.
- "Tab's got sass" in case you forgot.
- Axl Rose is the greatest singer of all time and there's proof!
- Many face punches were thrown in Road House.
- Andre the Giant was a giant-sized party animal.
- Grace Jones is elgible for social security.
- There was quite a "celebration" when Wendy's debuted chicken nuggets.
I hinted at the TWL Video of the Week earlier this week on social media and it's still my favorite. I'm a sucker for those remixed PBS videos for Mr. Roger's Neighborhood and Reading Rainbow that went viral last year. With the same style, Pogo & Skye remixed Back To The Future this past week...
