It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally here! The new Weird Al CD! Alpocalypse! YAY!

Great news on an upcoming film sequel!
It turns out that there *may* be a Gremlins 3 – and it could be in 3-D!!!
It’s just a rumor at this point, but still, that’s pretty damn exciting news. Of course, everyone in the world loves the two Gremlins movies… with the notable exception of my sister. Now [...]

Every December, a ton of “Best of the Year” lists pop up everywhere, and they can get old pretty quick, but I’m digging the “Best of the Decade” lists that I’ve been seeing lately. So I figured I’d jump on that particular bandwagon, and so I now present my list of some of [...]

This time, “Weird Al” does a send-up of all those “Chuck Norris/Jack Bauer is so tough that he can make lemons out of lemonade” sorta lists. Only it’s a song, and a video, and it’s about the late Charles Nelson Reilly. Who? He was “jose Chung” in that one really awesome episode [...]
