| 3865 | Article | Caps 2.0 | My fear of New York City came into effect after my Dad died. He worked in the city for what was called Nynex at the time, and he would occasionally take me or my brother into the city with him to spend a day at work, after which we might do something like visit a museum or cross the Hudson River into New Jersey and attend a Giants game. My dad was a Vietnam veteran and one of the toughest, yet gentlest people I knew. He died when I was 12, and I no longer felt safe visiting the city. It didn't help that my mom, with whom I had a fractured and bitter relationship, didn't understand why I was afraid of the city. She was born and raised in the Bronx, so she strode through with no problem. Me? I was scared and still am. | Apr 24, 2017 |  | |
| 3882 | Article | Caps 2.0 | I'm friends with Dee Booher, who played Matilda The Hun, on Facebook, and I'm planning on doing an interview with her once I read her autobiography to make sure I don't ask questions that have been answered. Dee's had a tough lot of health issues these past few years, and she currently has a GoFundMe page to cover these health-related expenses. Here's the link to that, so feel free to donate if you can: https://www.gofundme.com/matildathehun | GLOW: Wild and Wacky Wresting | May 08, 2017 | |
| 3970 | Article | Caps 2.0 | I've spoken to Morgan Fairchild's publicist about an interview, and while she was too busy for an interview at the time I sent the message, I was told that she did thank me for the interest. I'm planning on sending out another interview request to Morgan's representative in August, and if she does agree to an interview, I will be asking about "Paper Dolls". | 1984 TV Guide Fall Preview: ABC | Jun 23, 2017 | |
| 4649 | Article | Caps 2.0 | About a decade ago, I wrote two articles for RetroJunk that compared the music of the 00s favorably to the music of the 80s. The two pieces were rare disasters for me in terms of feedback, with even users who normally liked my writing giving the articles thumbs down and giving me a lot of hell for daring to write positive things about 00s pop culture on a nostalgia website. Looking back in hindsight, I would've done a lot differently with those articles. I would've analyzed the music better and I would've chosen different artists to praise. This was all because I wasn't able to properly explain that, in my opinion, feeling that pop culture went to Hell after a certain date is just nonsensical. Although my life in the 00s was just as bad as my life in the 90s, I did prefer the pop culture of the 00s to the pop culture of the 90s, but I know that many have the same passion for 90s pop culture that I do for 80s pop culture. I also know that, if it isn't being done already, soon the people who spent their childhood and teen years in the 00s will be writing articles for sites like this about how those years were special for them. In summation, decades treat everyone differently, and in my opinion, no one should catch heat for speaking positively about whichever era they like. | The 2000s decade wasn't that bad | Oct 30, 2018 | |
| 4726 | Video | Caps 2.0 | Is this going to be part of a new RD holiday special, or is this just a special video for the season? | Merry Christmas from John Schneider | Dec 18, 2018 | |

| 4903 | Article | Caps 2.0 | There were many great covers in the 80s, but one of my favorite covers would have to be another Jules Shear cover, in this case, The Bangles' version of "If She Knew What She Wants", which I found to have more energy and passion than Shear's original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu_pNeqAQ-U | Top Cover Songs of the 80s | Apr 10, 2019 | |
| 4960 | Article | Caps 2.0 | What I find interesting is that Taco Bell, which serves Pepsi drinks, promoted Batman '89 in theaters, while Coca-Cola's Diet Coke was promoted on the film's first VHS release. The two big names in soda both promoting Batman are proof of how big the movie was. | Batman 1989 Movie Merchandise | Jun 22, 2019 | |
| 5000 | Article | Caps 2.0 | I'm sorry you didn't like the interview, Casey. If I may explain something, though, those verbal tics you pointed out are a result of Asperger's Syndrome. Many people like myself on the spectrum had those tics. Also, if my questions seemed too prepared and it seemed like I was in a rush to you, it's because, in all honesty, I didn't have the familiarity with Adam's work that I do with most of the other talents I've been fortunate enough to interview over the years. | A Talk With Adam F.

| 5513 | Video | Caps 2.0 | I know that's the poster for Hero At Large. My fingers were a little too fast, and I clicked on the wrong image. I know how to upload now, but I don't know how to edit after an upload. | Hiding Out | Oct 01, 2021 | |
