The Weekly Links: 'Transformers: Devastion' Gameplay Trailer, 'Danger Mouse' Reboot, New Madballs Comic/Toys

Jason Gross July 17, 2015
Welcome to another edition of The Weekly Links, your weekly source for the best '80s content on the web! I was visiting Florida over an extended weekend so I didn't get a chance to post last week, so that means even more links for this week's edition!

Here's a shout-out to friend of the site Chad Young and the Horror Movie BBQ who helped me rank the best movies of 1984 awhile back. He's giving away an Ecto Cooler candle over on his site and the deadline is tomorrow! To enter, like Horror Movie BBQ on Facebook and then leave a comment on the Giveaway blog post with your favorite Ghostbuster and email address. Good luck!

In case you missed it, here are few RD80s headlines from the past couple weeks:

My favorite video this week was brought to my attention by the A.V. Club and features a 1982 softball game between the SCTV cast and crew. It's glorious found footage from an 8MM home movie of some of the great comedic actors from the show including Rick Moranis doing most of the interviews in an announcer's voice. Terrific look into the past!
