Laser Time

Once again, as is annual tradition, we've seen all the Oscar movies so you don't have to! Opinions, predictions, and sadly YES, our best attempt at comedy sketches abound as we weigh in on all eight of the Academy's 2019 Best Picture nominees

In honor of Black History month, we're celebrating the very finest Black Sitcoms in all of history. It's not like they got an early start, so the odds of you being familiar with them are pretty high. Sit a spell while we take a fond look back on Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Martin, and more...

They said we couldn't cram over 100 of the greatest artists in musical history into a hour long show focused on songs that have sold over 50 million copies combined. They were WRONG. Of course, to do so we had to cheat a little with some of the least timely tunes every recorded: Charity Singles! Yes, pappy though they may be, this faded craze from the 1980s broke dozens of sales records, gave people heaping handfuls of their favorite musicians at one low price, and oh yeah, raised a ton of money for good causes. Feel free to listen to this cornball episode of Laser Time with your eyes closed, looking towards the sky, with one hand over your headphones

It's been a decade since Conan O'Brien was handed the reigns of The Tonight Show, and thank goodness the transition was completely seamless. HOY-YOOOOO!

Has there ever been a great video game cartoon? The most honest among us would probably say "Maybe. But not until recently." Which is probably the correct answer, but you can't get there without going back to the beginning.

What's a video game cartoon you liked?

Quick: Name some banned movies! Not that easy, is it? No matter how much a film disgusts you, how much the movie enrages you, scrubbing it from the world has historically been much harder than you might think. At least in America, which is why we'll also be exploring what films have gotten banned in other countries, and why. But fair warning: In this episode we will be speaking about some of the most unspeakable films ever made. Nothing to crazy, but just a heads up.

Vidjagame Apocalypse had its turn, now Laser Time's counting down its favorite non-interactive media of 2018. It's a star-studded show celebrating all of the very best of TV and movies of last year, and it's pretty much impossible you'll disagree with anything we have to say!

Counting down the dumbest Florida tales of 2018, plus we're joined by our buddy Hank Saints, who's giving us a long overdue Quizdown on the year's most notable movie and music milestones. See how you measure up in this pleasantly game-ified edition of Laser Time!

With your shopping hopefully out of the way, Laser Time takes a look at our rapidly disappearing retail institutions. But it's not all doom and gloom!
