Waddup to my Peoples!

Welcome back to RETRO CRUNCH, your nostalgia news show that is all about Current Pop Culture, Movies, Music, and Games that relates to all things 70s, 80s, and 90s!

Alright, so the Rose Parade has been around since 1890, and was started by a small social club to basically show off the nice weather in Pasadena California, and the flowers of course.

Well, fast forward to 2017 and its come a long way from a small venue, to one watched around the world by millions of people to usher in the NEW YEAR.

And in this new day and age, many people are turning to their tablets and cell phones to watch TV, so this is where Amazon is stepping in.

Amazon, along with Funny or Die, hope to capitalize on streaming TV by introducing a comedic approach to the Rose Parade with the introduction of Cord Hosenbeck and Tish Cattigan.

And if these two faces look familiar, its cause its really Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon, who are gonna be acting like TV hosts that have covered the parade for the last 25 years.

In fact, they each have made up Bio’s where Cord has authored over 30 books on subjects from dieting to dressing for success
and Tish, whos a former Miss Arizona, has authored many books about relationships and marriage.

Were sure to see a lot of humor and comedy during the Rose Parade, which
will stream live on Amazon Prime Video on New Year’s Day, Monday, January 1, 2018 at 8 AM PT/11 AM ET.

I’ll probably watch this myself since it’s a change of pace and Im interested to see if Will Farrell and Molly Shannon can entertain us for the entire parade coverage. Should be pretty interesting to watch.

And next up, in Retro Movie News

If you remember Steven Kings 1989 Horror flick Pet Semetary, well it is being remade, and Variety.com reports that Paramount Pictures is moving forward with remaking the film.

This comes on the heels of the huge success of IT, which is on pace to be the highest grossing horror movie of all time. So, there’s a real possibility this movie will be made.

Im not sure if they will find a boy as creepy as the one who played Gage, but if they do, man..
That kid creeped me out for years.
Anyways, on to some more news.

Most Yall know I love Stranger Things. Not just cause its chock full of 80s references, but the show really rocks and it looks like the Sesame Street gang loves it too!

They recently made a really cute parody video that takes all those fun 80isms we loved from the show and twisted it into a SHARING THINGS skit for kids.

Its wholesome, fun, and totally nails it for a spoof video. If you like Stranger Things like I do, you’ll enjoy the video. Ill link to the video down below for your viewing pleasure!

And then in some Music News,
A couple Rappers that were famous in the 90s are bringing back some 90s drama and its sorta funny.

The two are Ma$e and Cam-ron, and my first guess on this is we have 2 old rappers that are trying to grab some headlines by bringing all their dirty laundry out of the closet.

Ma$e is reportedly a Pastor, so not sure why he’s starting a beef with Cam-ron, but whatever – Cam’s a better rapper and still putting out good music, so sounds like Ma$e is just salty..

And in the best News of the day.
The Devil finally got his Due.. Charles Manson, the leader of a murderous cult, is dead at 83.

Then Last up, For This week in History. The show Mystery Science Theater, Premiered November 24th in 1988 on KYMA in Minnesota.

Its a comedic commentary show where the hosts comment on crappy B movies, and if you’re a fan of the show, you’ll be glad to hear that Netflix just picked it up for a second season.

And that’s all the retro news I have for you this week.
