Before 1994 our only real animated Spider-Man fix was the 1981 series Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. Intent on rethinking the Spider-Man mold for the nineties, FOX forked over a ton of money to New World Corporation (and then Saban) to create Spider-Man: The Animated Series. With a completely different animation style, and small uses […]

Lost Signals: The Anti-Gravity Room (1996)
Back in the 90s, cable was a smorgasbord of unique and amazing entertainment that a 13-year old kid like me could feast on for hours. Back then, every channel was suited for one particular taste, unlike today where networks just throw anything at a wall and sees what sticks, so imagine my surprise when I […]

“It’s All About Helping Kids.” An animated series starring all three of the most iconic sports star of the nineties – that’s just wacky! – ProStars was absurd but, by virtue of nostalgia, it’s still fun to think that some fans thought this animated series was a fun idea. For the most part, ProStars was […]

For a long time in the 80s and 90s there was a marriage between film, television, and video games that overlapped one another so drastically that it was shocking. In the 90s if it was a movie, it was turned in to a video game. In the same vein, kids were given adult movies transformed […]

For the majority of the 90s, whenever I would turn on television to watch cartoons I would basically be bombarded with commercials for Creepy Crawlers. At the time, as a kid, there were non-stop commercials for toys that looked amazing on sight, but didn’t seem so much fun in person. A game where you can […]

Pogs. You know what I’m talking about if you grew up in the nineties. I can’t believe someone made thousands of kids in America fiend over small circular cardboard discs with generic images on them, but lo and behold for a three year period in the nineties, pogs were all the rage. Not even the […]

Zeta just doesn’t get any love. It’s a shame. Back in the early aughts, I watched Batman Beyond religiously. After Bruce Timm gave us the wonderful Batman: The Animated Series, Warner asked Timm to give fans a younger edgier futuristic Batman and he obliged with a mature, intelligent, and entertaining vision of the character. Along […]

Jackie Chan seemed almost fitted for his own kids show. While the international action movie star was in fact known for a slew of iconic action movies that continue to win the hearts of movie buffs to this day, Jackie Chan’s methods were so much more different than Bruce Lee’s. By the mid-nineties Jackie Chan […]
