ROBOT SPOTLIGHT: R2-D2 AND C-3PO

By
Thought I'd kick off a new segment highlighting great Pop-culture robots and/or androids. If there's a Mount Rushmore of droids one of these two, if not both would be on it. Of course I'm talking about C-3PO and R2-D2. I figured with all the Star Wars buzz in the air it would be good to start with some classics.

Photo by me at Shoreline Amphitheatre in California at a concert featuring Korn & Staind 2021 may not have been an especially good year in other ways but it was most certainly an amazing year for music. Not only did live music return (which I have complex but mostly joyful and grateful feelings about) but dozens upon dozens of fantastic albums were released this year. So I thought it only fitting to celebrate the year in music with this list of my top albums of 2021. Bearing in mind that rankings are always a little complex and these things are constantly shifting (my top three are honestly pretty much interchangeable based on my mood) blah blah blah all art is subjective, etc....enjoy my top 21 albums of 2021!

Welcome to Day 26 of our #VundaHalloweenAthon  The 26th theme of the month is  "Your Grandparents' Ghouls."  Today we celebrate old horror. We're talking the kinda stuff you'd see on Turner Classic Movies with the likes of Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi--although, as always, we leave the interpretation up to you. It might be an oldie from Hollywood's Golden Age or a horror classic you haven't given a chance yet. The sky is the limit and bonus Pumpkin Points if you watch more than one movie a day on theme! Here are a few recommendations from the team, taken from our own watchlists for today... Group Pick:  Bride of Frankenstein  (1935) directed by James Whale is available on Criterion Channel and Peacock. Enjoy one of horror's greatest sequels.
