Wayback Attack

It's been said "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." However, in our case how long we live is measured by the many iterations of the Dark Knight.

For many of us growing up in the '80s and '90s, television provided a sense of stability. In some cases TV families served in place of our own. Not only did these surrogate TV families keep us latchkey kids company, they taught us some pretty important lessons along the way. In this episode of the show, we pick some fictional father figures to go head-to-head in an all-out brawl to see who is crowned the best TV dad ever! Don't make us turn this car around! This is Wayback Attack!

It's that time of the year when we sit back and give thanks for all we have, and if you're like us...eat a lot of food.

Fortunately some traditions don't die. Happy Thanksgiving...This is Wayback Attack!

There's just something about the movie theater experience that stirs something deep inside our souls. From the fragrant popcorn, sometimes sticky floors, giant projection screen, and the communal experience, it's been hard to stay away. With the Venom sequel reaching the largest box office since the start of the pandemic and our recent trip to celebrate an animated classic's anniversary we're inspired to revisit some classics that deserve a re-release on the big screen (with a gimmick or two thrown in). Dim the lights, and fire up the projector...THIS is Wayback Attack.

Let's revisit some good memories of some awful jobs. Punch your timecard, this is Wayback Attack!

There's more than one way to beat the heat during a hot, hot summer, but none brought us more joy as kids than a trip to the water park!

After Capcom's Street Fighter II debuted in 1991, it was almost impossible to imagine another arcade title that could rival or top such a refreshingly fun game. That is...until one year later when the ultraviolent, ultra bloody Mortal Kombat arrived and sent kids scrambling for quarters and launched the video arcade renaissance. Few could have predicted the special moves, fatalities, babalities, and more would launch such a legacy, but after this month's premiere of the new Mortal Kombat movie in theaters and on HBO Max, here we are. Get Over Here...This is Wayback Attack!

It's Spring Break! And let's face it. After this past year, we ALL need a break! But when you take that break from reality, do you prefer quiet solitude, or taking in far-flung sights?

When you're as old as we are, you remember a time before HD, before 1080P, heck...a time before every television was in color.
