News once again rises in the Transformers world and this week there's a new KO Black Zarak G1 figure, the first promo image for the TFxEvangelion crossover and are prices to rise?
This week: It's the end of an era. Hasbro's headquarters is heading to Boston. There's going to be a "Titan" reveal at the Transformers store in the UK on Transformers day, but it's not a titan. So what is it? All that and more!
The board game “Clue” originated in the 1940s as “Cluedo” overseas and was later brought to the U.S. by Parker Brothers. Now owned by Hasbro, it has inspired many spin-offs, including a TV show, themed editions like the “Simpsons” version, and a VCR game. Alongside classics like “Monopoly,” “Cranium,” “The Game of Life,” “Sorry!,” and “Mouse Trap,” as well as junior games like “Candyland” and “Chutes and Ladders,” “Clue” has stood the test of time. Turning “Clue” into a movie was inevitable. Was it a big hit? Not really. But it was fun! Grab your weapon, meet at the Hill House, and watch out when the lights go out, as Tim Williams, along with co-hosts Gerry D, Chris McMichen & Laramy Wells, discuss “Clue” (1985) on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback! Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:During breaks on set, some actors played pool at the billiards table. Lesley Ann Warren couldn't join in because she wore a very tight corset that limited her movement. During these breaks, she would find spots to lean on and rest.Leslie Ann Warren, Christopher Lloyd, and Martin Mull reunited to parody the movie in the Psych episode, "100 Clues".Sources:Wikipedia, IMDB, BoxOfficeMojohttps://screenrant.com/clue-unknown-facts-trivia-filming/https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/clue-review-1985/Some sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

Connection isn't a “nice to have”—it's a business driver every leader needs to put front and center if they want to achieve their goals and succeed.

Why is that?In this powerful episode of Shedding the Corporate Bitch, I sit down with Greg Morley, global leader, author of Bond: Belonging and the Keys to Inclusion and Connection, and champion of inclusive leadership. With over 25 years of HR experience at companies like Disney, Hasbro, and LVMH, Greg shares hard-earned lessons and practical tools to help leaders and HR professionals turn inclusion into impact.

Send us a textAfter taking a couple week off, the Crew return to talk some #StarWars : #Visions - Volume 1. Before jumping into that, the Crew talk about some interesting news items as it relates to #GinaCarano [#CaraDune] and her settlement with #Disney, along with the recent admittance from Disney that they have lost viewership amongst the male audience.Even though the DetBlock Crew have talked Visions Volume 1, Bogie had not joined the team yet. So, with it being a bit of a slow time for Star Wars news and content, Bogie watched episodes 6-9 of volume 1 of Visions, which Mike and him look to discuss.Thoughts and prayers go out to all those impacted, especially the children and parents, from the school shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in #Minneapolis , MN. Being that both Bogie and Mike are from the Twin Cities and it hits close to home, they felt the need to address it.Social Media Handles:TikTok: @DetBlockAA23Twitter: @DetBlockAA23PodInstagram: detention_block_aa_23FB Group: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastYouTube: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars #PodcastDon't forget to #SUBSCRIBE to our #YouTube channel for #podcast episodes and other content! #Prize #giveaway at 200 subs!

Send us a text*Apologies for connection issues which caused some delays / pauses *After taking a couple week off, the Crew return to talk some #StarWars : #Visions - Season 1. Before jumping into that, Mike talks about his trip experience to #Montana and how the #AirBnB his family stayed in happened to be Star Wars themed. This was all a happy accident. From a media / #theater room filled with Star Wars items to a room completely dedicated to a Star Wars theme, it all added to the great experience him and his family had.Even though the DetBlock Crew have talked Visions Volume 1, Bogie had not joined the team yet. So, with it being a bit of a slow time for Star Wars news and content, Bogie watched episodes 1-5 of volume 1 of Visions, which Mike and him look to discuss.Social Media Handles:TikTok: @DetBlockAA23Twitter: @DetBlockAA23PodInstagram: detention_block_aa_23FB Group: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars PodcastYouTube: Detention Block AA-23: A Star Wars #PodcastDon't forget to #SUBSCRIBE to our #YouTube channel for #podcast episodes and other content! #Prize #giveaway at 200 subs!

In our latest episode, we sit down with veteran comic book artist Mark Pennington to explore his remarkable career spanning four decades in the industry. Mark shares his journey from graduating the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art in 1985 to starting his career doing designs for iconic toy lines like G.I. Joe at Hasbro before transitioning to comic book inking in 1988. We dive into his extensive work across major publishers including Marvel, DC, Image, CrossGen, and others, inking legendary titles like X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Eclipso, Violator and more, with particular focus on his acclaimed work on Shade, the Changing Man, which earned him an Eisner nomination for Best Inker in 1993. Mark discusses the often-underappreciated art of inking, his collaboration process with pencilers, working on high-profile titles like Hellblazer and JLA, and how the industry has evolved since he started. We also explore his move into self-publishing and his continued passion for both commercial comic work and fine art.You can follow Mark on Instagram @markpenningtonart.Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.
