Well, Rustheads, we are back at it. Finally!

In this very special episode we stick with the "movies of 1982" theme from last video, only this time focusing on two specific movies:

Blade Runner, and John Carpenter's The Thing.

Both of these genre-defining masterpieces came out on the same day. Let that sink in...THE SAME DAY. We are lucky to get ONE movie every 10 years that match these movies in awesome, but back in 1982, we got a double dose of mind-bending existentialism. Not to mention they came out TWO WEEKS after E.T., another once-in-a-generation movie. Man...the 80s were just awesome!

Join Mattyman and Vannyboy as they try, and fail, to keep their conversation below an hour and a half.  We cut probably 35 minutes of our conversation to fit it into 1:32 of informational mind-melting-mayhem. Most of that time may or may not have involved  plastic tubes filled with water and the clicking of Bic lighters. We hope you appreciate our sacrifice.

If you would rather experience this on YouTube where you can see our fun little logo (that changes with each episode), then click here!

Waiting here for a little while to see what happens,
Vannyboy and Mattyman

Yo, yo, yo, Rustheads!

In this very special episode of The Rusty Playground, Mattyman and Vannyboy discuss some (but not all) movies of 1982. It's hard to argue that 1982 wasn't the best year ever for movies, and impossible to argue it's not the best year for movies for Generation X. From crap you'll see on Mystery Science Theater 3000 a decade later, mediocre popcorn crunchers you'll love as you turn your brain off, or straight up genre-defining masterpieces, 1982 hat it all!

Join us as we stroll down memory lane, wondering where we are and how we got on this lane. Also, we will talk movies and be as equally shocked at how many of these movies Vannyboy has seen as we are how many Mattyman has not!

Hello again, dear Rustheads!

We return to the interwebs with a very special episode of The Rusty Playground. In this episode we riff about what we consider the greatest television show of all time: Mystery Science Theater 3000!

We decided to release this episode because a] we made it and b] wanted to release it during the annual MST3k Turkey Day Marathon, which is a national holiday in here on the Playground!

Join us as we break down the origin of the show, some of the key players, and, oh yeah, tell you what the show even is, if you don't know. And if you don't know, why are you alive??!?!!

This episode had to be broken into 2 parts, so be sure to check out the second part HERE! Also, if you would rather, check us out on YouTube.

Wanting to kill that fat barkeep,

Rustheads!

Remember when you would go to both sets of grandparent's houses and engorge your gullet with glutton and gluten? We do! And we will tell you all about it as long as we can stay on track for once! But don't hold your breath!

Sit back, unbutton your pants, feel your anus pressurize, and regret being alive as we take stock in the days when we went to grandparents houses instead of, like now, being the grandparents who's houses (and toilet) get wrecked!

Join us as we take a hazy look back at crowded rooms, too much food, and distant relatives on this very special episode about our Thanksgiving Day Shenanigans in the cleverly titled Episode 2 - Turkey Day Shenanigans!

You can also check it out on YouTube if you prefer.

Welcome, fellow Rustheads, to yet another episode of The Rusty Playground.

In this very special episode, Mattyman and Vannyboy reminisce about Halloween for Gen-X, which admittedly for us, was the 1970s-very early 80s. Other Gen-Xers will have different timelines, but they ain't running this show, so it's about us!

Join us on this fun little jaunt about candy, costumes, circus peanuts, and Peanuts as we delve into the mysteries of the universe. Well, not really. Just talking candy and stuff. But there is a classic bit where Mattyman and Vannyboy recorded themselves with a tape deck in the late 70s, about 11 years before they actually met. Don't worry, it will be explained. Sort of.

Also, check out the podcast on YouTube if you would like. It's the same thing, but with a cool picture of our logo!

So, grab a pillowcase, throw on your thick plastic mask, and carry a heavy basket as we take a look back at Spooky Season, Gen-X Style.

Boos and Blah-Blah-Blahs,
Mattyman and Vannyboy

Welcome To The Playground is the inaugural release to the reboot to our fun little Gen-X-centric podcast.

Join Mattman and Vannyboy as we explore the ups and downs, lefts and rights, forwards and backwards, and all diagonals of growing up in the coolest generation.

In this episode we just set up what this podcast is all about...talking about Generation X (a.k.a. Latchkey Kids, The MTV Generation, the Lost Generation). Mattyman and Vannyboy bring their own unique take and humor to each subject.

We are not here to tell other generations how much they suck. We are here to talk about how awesome ours is. Everyone is welcome on the playground.

Raising our fists in the air as Simple Minds plays,
Mattyman and Vannyboy
