NOTICE: I have stopped updating these "Best of" pages, so none contain posts beyond July 2009. This is due primarily to the fact that it is time consuming, but also because Retrospace is fairly easily navigated without the need for a "Best of" page to assist readers. I decided to leave these pages up because I figured they aren't hurting anything or costing me anything - so why not?
So, by all means, scan around the "Best of" pages, but please be sure to check in at retrospace. We're sure to have some new stuff you'd like!

The Kids Super Power Hour featured animated segments ("Hero High") integrated with the lame live performances. Now, I know the show was intended for children, so perhaps their lameness can be forgiven. But it's still fun to watch. Here's a couple odd and interesting things about the show.
The Ventriloquist and the JFK Assassination
Retrospace Takes a Look at Frankenstein It all began with a meeting in 1816 between friends Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, Percy Bysshe Shelley and that ladies man, Lord Byron. Who would have imagined that the novel inspired from that fateful gathering would still be an object of cultural significance almost 200 years later! Here's the official retrospace favorite pop culture Frankensteins.
Shirly MaClaine, Her Daughter and Pazuzu
The Legend of the Screaming Funk Model
A review and commentary on a great Dean Martin film.
There was something about the 1970s and the word "dynamite" (or its alternate groovier spelling "dyn-o-mite") that just went hand in hand. It was in a catch phrase, a movie, a magazine, a reggae band, a van accessory - it seemed we couldn't get enough of this eight-lettered word.
I always suspected it was a lot better to work back in the sixties and early seventies than today. Don't give me that "times were tough" garbage - I was there (I was still wearing footie pajamas, but I was there). Back then, a man could work at Walgreen's selling aquarium gravel all day and still earn a living wage - now it takes three jobs and a Capital One credit card to do that.
\ Just watched the 1971 film Let's Scare Jessica to Death and wanted to spread the good word. Here's a list of ten reasons why this film is do damn good.
