The Weekly Links: Breakdancing Monks, Bonkers Candy Comeback, Oprah's 1983 Audition Tape

Another edition of The Weekly Links is here! Great news came across the wire last night that ABC has renewed The Goldbergs for a 2nd season! I've missed some episodes this season but it seems to improve each episode.

The video of the week was actually featured in yesterday's post by Wyatt. Taco Bell's new commercial for their breakfast menu wants us "get with the times" and stop eating those McDonald's egg mcmuffins. It's really a jab at those who are still enamored with 1984 (like me,) but still makes me "geek out" at the stuff in the background like the Galaga arcade machine and the Howard the Duck poster.
