Retro Movie Adventures: Earth vs. the Flying Saucers
Ah, the Fifties: when aliens so advanced that they can travel thousands of miles between seconds can be defeated by guys driving trucks with weapons they built in two months.

The Internet’s Biggest Secret EXPOSED!
A day or two ago I saw a post where someone was complaining about being in “Instagram Jail.” At the end of the post they wrote “it’s frightening how much power they have.” And it is, but the really frightening part is that we gave it to them. Warning: Old Man About To Yell At…
