    Suncoast Motion Picture Company - Who remembers these stores?

    In the late 80's and early 90's, the store at the mall for movie & pop culture fans was Suncoast Motion Picture Company, known mostly as just Suncoast. The stores main emphasis was on selling videos (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray) but the also sold a ton of collectibles & merchandise geared towards movie...

    Blazing Saddles (1974)

    Just rewatched this one on Netflix after not seeing it for years. This was the first time I've watched it on a flat-screen TV with a sound system at the house so it was a bit like watching it new for the first time again. When people speak of movies that couldn't be made today, this is...

    What was your first computer?

    What was your first computer? 🤔 I started with typing programs on a Commodore 64 and saving them to a cassette player and using a small black-and-white TV as a monitor. The 80's & 90's were a time of rapid change in the world of computers so my brother & I were fortunate to have been able to...

    Back to the Future Part III (1990)

    Not my favorite of the trilogy but it did serve as a way of giving Doc a happy conclusion to the story.

    Announcement It's pronounced "Double Back"! 😄

    "The only way to find what I left behind, I got to double back again, double back again!" Some may have noticed a slight name! :D Yep, after a few years as "WLT80s", short for "We Love The Eighties!", we're doing a slight rebrand to DblBck.com, short for "Double Back". We'll still be talking...

    Foodies Vintage McDonald's of the 80's & 90's

    Younger generations will never know what it was like back then and why kids asked to go to McDonald's.

    Blue Thunder

    The fact that the show was cheaply made and relied upon using footage from the movie didn't help. There are just so many ways you can edit the same footage over & over again before viewers give up. But it does serve as a great trivia question for Dana Carvey. Not many people remember him in...

    Down and Out in Beverly Hills

    When I saw this listed on the front page in the 'Today in History' section I was wondering why it was listed in the TV category instead Movies... I had completely forgotten that they tried to do a TV adaptation! Good movie, bad show. 😄

    Dirty Dancing

    I had no idea there was a TV series. I was looking for something else and came across this; I can't recall this show at all. For anybody interested, I found it on YouTube. You'll need to poke around to find the rest of the episodes.

    Foodies Vintage McDonald's of the 80's & 90's

    All of the "Mickey D's" near me have now been torn down and replaced with the 'grey box' design. Some of them are downright depressing with them being square boxes with dark grey trim. Now in a mostly post-COVID lockdown environment it gets even more depressing because most of them have been...

    Red Oaks (2014)

    I don't recall coming across this one at all. Looks like it could be funny, reminds me of the caddies from Caddyshack.
