The helicopter has crashed and the zombies attack in latest episode of "Reanimated"

As previewed on this very blog earlier this week, the latest episode of the "Reanimated" web series by Evil Genius Entertainment and director John Vincent has dropped, and the zombies are roaming the countryside. It's quite an interesting tale of a biological weapon released on humanity by a mad scientist, and this author portrays a general on a UN task force investigating just what has happened. In the process, the helicopter I was escaping in has crashed, and I wind up at a camp of strangers. Then ... well, you'll just have to watch ...

And catch up on the other three episodes here:

Thanks so much for watching, liking and sharing!

"Reanimated" drops episode 4 on Thursday night

You've seen the zombie apocalypse web series "Reanimated" on this blog before. This author is happy to be part of such a fun project, especially now in these crazy times. It's a story of a virus outbreak conceived a couple years before any of this COVID stuff hit the headlines. Episodes 1 through 3 have been on YouTube (with Episode 1 getting more than a million views!), and now Episode 4 is about to drop this Thursday night. Follow this link to set up a reminder for the premiere:

And here's a little more info on the series:

 .............

"Reanimated" tells the story of a zombie apocalypse like no other. Shot in eastern Michigan and written before COVID-19 made headlines, the series centers around a virus crafted by a young scientist (who can perhaps be described as mad!). First, you see the effects of the outbreak, as the undead begin to roam the countryside and the living must struggle to survive. Then, in episode 3, we learn a little more of the story, as a government task force tries to get to the bottom of what's happened. The high-action episode 4, premiering Thursday night, continues the story as one member of the task force is found at the wreckage of a crashed helicopter -- but has she actually been rescued? And just what is behind this scientist's work? Catch this dynamite series from John Vincent and Evil Genius Entertainment.

Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention delivers up a mini-"Dynasty" reunion

 

It's very exciting to hear that the Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia Convention will happen this year, in these pandemic times, because so many folks are getting vaccinated, right? But it's not so exciting that BRBTV will not be able to make it this year. We won't miss the seven-hour round trip journey on various buses and trains from where this author stays in D.C. up to the event in Hunt Valley, Maryland (seriously), but we definitely will miss the great stars of classic TV and film, as well as the wonderful vending to be had! We will get back to that show soon; we simply have to. But in the meantime, if you'd like to go, you'll find lots of amazing stuff this year. Here's what we're especially missing, though you can check out the event website for the full guest roster:

• TONY DOW and JERRY MATHERS of "Leave it to Beaver"
  
• PAMELA SUE MARTIN and PARKER STEVENSON of "Hardy Boys" / "Nancy Drew"
  
• LOUIS GOSSETT, JR. 
• BARBARA CARRERA of classic "Dallas"
• MAXWELL CAULFIELD, JOHN JAMES and the aforementioned MARTIN of classic "Dynasty" / "The Colbys" (wow, that one hurts! we've never seen James at a show like this)
  

 The show happens August 19 to 21, 2021, at the Hunt Valley Delta Marriott, Hunt Valley, Maryland.

Terrific non-TV Toys: Scarlett O'Hara figurine by Avon, 1983

She was the belle of the ball, the ball being the highly regarded 1939 movie "Gone With the Wind." She was Scarlett O'Hara, that Southern beauty so magnificently portrayed by Vivien Leigh. And she's captured in porcelain by Avon for this figurine offered back in 1983, part of a larger set that included Rhett Butler (of course) as well as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and others. Just behold, on the latest episode of Terrific non-TV Toys ....

Terrific TV Toys now has a Pinterest board!

"Mork and Mindy" Colorforms? An action figure from the 1970s "Kolchak: The Night Stalker"? "Firefly" figures? "Simon and Simon" DVDs? A bit of "Columbo," too???? Oh, bring it on! More, please! 

You can find all kinds of great stuff in Pinterest, and now BRBTV is bringing it all together on one board -- glimpses of great memorabilia celebrating the classic TV shows we love. Some of this stuff is for sale, too. It's from all over the web, so call this an aggregation of joy. (I mean really, in-between saving over images of M&Ms and Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, why not indulge a little action figure love?)

Follow the board at the BRBTV Pinterest page.

Terrific TV Toys: Harley, Ra's al Ghul and Bane figures by Kenner, 1990s

She's been the queen of the comic-con circuit in recent years, the subject of so many a cosplayer. She's Harley Quinn, and she was born on "Batman: The Animated Series," which debuted in fall 1992. And on that series and the various incarnations and titles it had over the 1990s, Harley was joined by a wonderful rogues gallery of villains that included Ra's al Ghul and Bane. All three of those colorful characters were captured by Kenner in their toy line of the 1990s celebrating the series, so we take a look at those three figures in this week's episode of Terrific TV Toys ...
