On April 12th 1988, musical icon “Weird Al” Yankovic released his fifth studio album Even Worse which contained such wonderful rock classics such as “Lasagna”, “I Think I’m A Clone Now” and “Fat.” However, the release date for Yankovic’s musical masterpiece also marks something equally as strange… my birthday!

Indie publishing has never been easy (I say this now speaking from experience). There’s usually a limited budget, long hours and little (if any) reward or recognition. It’s mostly a group of creative individuals trying to follow their passion and if they happen to get noticed, that’s great too. The internet has made it much […]

Lost forever or simply stuck in deep space? B.R.A.T.S. of the Lost Nebula is perhaps one of the least remembered Saturday morning tragedies ever. Created by Dan Clark, B.R.A.T.S. was (at least in spirit) a self-described “hybrid of Thunderbirds and Jim Henson’s Storyteller series” that featured the sci-fi adventures of 5 orphaned aliens (Zadam, Triply, […]

Much like his fellow Marvel Avengers, the upcoming Captain America film is not the first time that the titular hero has seen celluloid. In fact, the star-spangled superhero has appeared in not just one, but two made-for-tv films: Captain America and Captain America II: Death Too Soon, both of which aired in 1979. Both starring […]

Sam Raimi will forever be known to me as the beloved creator of the Evil Dead franchise– period. A signature blend of action and 3 Stooges-style comedy, Raimi’s style of filmmaking is best suited to larger than life characters or situations beyond the veil of reality.

Growing up in the 90s Wizard Magazine was essentially the crux of all my comic, cartoon, and video game news. It was an awesome publication teeming with exciting news, reviews, and original content that really played an important part in shaping what Strange Kids Club has become today. Understanding that this was really before the […]
