The Weekly Links: Space Invaders Movie, TMNT Art Show, Muppet Babies Slow Jam

Time once again for my favorite part of the week...The Weekly Links! You simply won't be able to top this '80s nostalgia experience, unless you took a live mannequin for a motorcycle ride (and if that's the case, let me know where you work.) The internet gave us some great retro goodies this past week. Here's what I learned:


My favorite video this week was an easy but painful choice. It was easy because the Kids React videos are always very entertaining with modern kids reacting to retro stuff. But it's also getting more painful to watch because it made me feel old! The Turtles can't be that old...I mean they're still teenagers, right? And if they can still claim to be teenagers after 30 years well then daggumit, so am I!
