'Loydster's Ramblings'---- Episode FOUR!

 

Believe it or NOT---- life has been just reasonably sane enough, that the 'ol Loydster has managed to put together a brand-spankin'-NEW episode of 'audio-nonsense'! In this FIRST 'fresh content' show, I'll address the question---that all of possibly 1 or 2 of you may even care about!  AND---that is-----


Some notes about the episode--- before we dive off into the usual SHAMELESS-geekiness!----

 For those of you who may not be steeped in the history of the 'Caped Crusader', Bill Finger (who I refer to early in the show!) was pretty much the co-creator of 'ol Bats. He didn't get that 'co-creator' credit, 'til 2017-------OVER 40 YEARS after his death! That's just a low-down-dirty shame, to say the least! 
The character would've been VERY different, if not for Mr. Finger! He also probably wouldn't have lasted much past his first appearance!

When blabbing about the 'Marvel movies', I neglected to mention the recent 'Spidey' films, staring Tom Holland! They are modern super hero CLASSICS in their own right, and I regret the out-right GOOF of not giving them some recognition! The most recent film----'...No Way Home', was a REAL gift (it DID come out smack in the middle of the Holidays, after all!) to those of us, who are fans of ALL of the 'Spider-flicks'!

Also, speaking of 'Marvel' flicks--- there ARE some that I've seen, that I didn't much care for! The 'Guardians of the Galaxy'  films didn't do too much for me! I also haven't even bothered checking out 'Captain Marvel', 'The Eternals' or even 'Shang Chi'. They're just characters I can't seem to get too excited about. (despite, in the case of 'The Eternals' anyway-- the characters being created by Jack 'King' Kirby!) 
Truth is, the 'movie-versions' of characters that I really DIG from 'the house of ideas', have already been done, and done REALLY well, I might add! Now--- IF the announced upcoming 'Fantastic Four' flick is done with the SAME kind of care & creativity, as the flicks I yack about in this here episode--- I'll be up for checking that one out!

Near the end of the episode, while referring to the 'Batman Adventures' comics, I neglected to mention the LONGEST-running of  ALL those titles! 'Batman: Gotham Adventures' lasted for 60 issues, and--- here's where Loydster shows what a complete and utterly-forgetful DOOFUS  he is--- I actually have EVERY single issue of that series!  Like they say.... the memory is the FIRST to go!

That's PLENTY of rattling on about my over-sights and foul-ups! On with the show! just do the usual 'pointing-and-clicking' on the link below, to open up this month's 'assault-on-your-ears-and-brain'!---

For those wondering just WHAT to get me on my B-day!

 

 
Attention: to all of the long-lost, CRAZY-wealthy relatives I may have out there (as of yet, NONE have came forward!)! Here's a couple of items that, while WILDLY-outrageously-expensive--- would make me VERY happy! Until, that is.... I'd have to figure out just WHERE I'd display them / store them! (storage would HAVE to be the solution at the moment--- since the 'Man-Cave's dismantling back in January of last year!)

AND--- aren't those folks at 'Sideshow' toys SO helpful? They even have these NIFTY videos, that educate (the more well-off) hard-core GEEK-A-ZOIDS in how to put one of these items together! Not to mention, they also cause us 'working-class-paycheck-to-paycheck' - types to just DROOL! AND-- wish we had a LOT more of that ALIEN-concept to us--- known as 'disposable income'!!!----




Just keeping those day-dreams alive everybody! Oh--- and if you ARE one of those CRAZY-wealthy, long-lost relatives I mentioned? You've got PLENTY of time 'til my next B-day! It's not until late JUNE! See you next time everyone!

Loyd's BONUS video-clip(s)!!--- # 42!!-- A couple of VERY wicked pony-cars!

 

If you've been checking in with ANY kind of regularity to this here little teensy-weensy corner of the web--- you'll KNOW without a doubt, that 'ol Loydster has a thing about the Ford Mustang! BOTH classic / vintage models, as well as the newer models. Just scroll back through the earlier posts here if you need a reminder of just HOW geeked-out I really am, about Ford's little Pony-car!

While recently cruising around on Youtube, I happened across these SUPER-neat-o videos! They focus  on a couple of VERY impressive 'Stangs! The one featuring a replica of the beast from the 2000 version of  'Gone in 60 Seconds', ('so-so' movie, CLASSIC car!) had me DROOLING! Then... I stumbled across the one showing off the 2017 Shelby Super Snake 'wide body'! Needless to say, the DROOLING continued!---
