Another week full of '80s pop culture goodness has come and gone! But in case you've been on a cross-country vacation to visit Wally World this past week, don't worry...The Weekly Links are located dead ahead off the next exit ramp. Here's what I learned this week:
- Angry Birds is teaming up with Transformers. If they are truly angry though, shouldn't they be Decepticons?
- The new Shredder looks akin to Freddy Krueger.
- I should've asked my parents for a computer rather than a Sega Master System.
- Some lucky kid got to tour Ghostbusters headquarters in the '80s.
- Prepare to pay $900 if you want a Blaster Pro pistol from Bladerunner.
- Casey Kasem has finally reached the stars.
- Jim Varney (Ernest P. Worrell) earned a daytime Emmy and Razzie in the same year.
- Steven Speilberg is to blame for all our childhood nightmares.
The video of the week is a simple one that is on my bucket list. With last weekend being Father's Day and also the 25th anniversary of my favorite baseball movie Field of Dreams, it was cool to watch Kevin Costner revisit the famous location. The corn wasn't high in the outfield and reporters covered the infield, but that didn't stop Costner playing catch with his two young sons. It's a "dream" of mine to travel there one day and play catch with my sons on one of the most famous baseball fields in the world.
