More spooky than ghosts, more frightening than goblins,
more terrifying than monsters — scary robots can make you scream!
JediShua reveals the behind-the-scenes truths of Space Camp after his recent experience in Huntsville while shazbazzar is rockin’ with Cheap Trick in Montgomery. It’s all Alabama this week!
Halloween is coming soon and robots on screen can be the most terrifying creatures ever invented. The sights and sounds of robots in movies, TV shows, and video games can get your heart beating faster while sitting absolutely still (which you want to do if they haven’t seen you, yet).
We Love Our Cereal…
…and so do Michael Nipp, Ron Lafontaine, and the Roving Spoonster.

Space Camp
JediShua enjoyed his journey to Mars after a day’s training to be an astronaut in Huntsville, Alabama. From learning more about the history of the space program and NASA to hands-on experience, Space Camp was well worth the money spent on this thoughtful gift.
But Space Camp isn’t just a weekend adventure; it’s a campy movie from 1986! The ‘Dads talk about the movie that likely suffered from the Challenger tragedy that struck just a few months before its release — it’s plot, odd geography, and big name actors in this oft-forgotten flick.
