Hi, everyone!
Because of my sprained wrist, I’m going to take a few days off from doing my retro television reviews. (My wrist is definitely healing but it still hurts a bit to type.) So, this feature will return at the end of the week, on Sunday, June 2nd!
Thank you for your patience! — LMB
As some of our regular readers undoubtedly know, I am involved in hosting a few weekly live tweets on twitter and occasion ally Mastodon. I host #FridayNightFlix every Friday, I co-host #ScarySocial on Saturday, and I am one of the five hosts of Mastodon’s #MondayActionMovie! Every week, we get together. We watch a movie. We snark our way through it.
Tonight, for #MondayActionMovie, the film will be The New Barbarians (1983), from director Enzo Castellari!
Then, on twitter, #MondayMuggers will be showing 2016’s Hacksaw Ridge! The film is on Prime and it starts at 10 pm et!
It should make for a night of fun viewing and I invite all of you to join in. If you want to join the live tweets, just hop onto Mastodon, pull up The New Barbarians on YouTube, start the movie at 8 pm et, and use the #MondayActionMovie hashtag! Then switch over to twitter, pull Hacksaw Ridge up on Prime, and use the #MondayMuggers hashtag!
Enjoy!

Thank you for your service.
This video, which was taken at a 1982 concert in St. Louis, is as close as we have for a music video for Remember the Heroes. Co-written by Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain, this song is Sammy Hagar’s tribute to the men and women who have served this country, many of whom have made the ultimate sacrifice.
There aren’t many Memorial Day rock song out there. Trust Sammy Hagar to do the day and it meaning justice.
