  • Club Cool till you drool

    … Alright now, fellas (Yeah?)
    Now, what cooler than being cool? (Ice cold!)
    I can't hear you
    I say what's, what's cooler than being cool? (Ice cold!) 
    Hey Ya.... that's right we're experimenting with prototypes of pop this week on an all-new episode of ‘The Dark Ride’, we head to the "Beverly" Hills of soda fountains, Club Cool. Grab your expedition gear, a Zamboni, and a glass of ice, and get ready to pour till the fizz hits the floor. This merch stop with an identity crisis has always been bubbling with weirdness, but will our hosts be saying "ahhhhhhhh" after that first smooth sip of international Coke classics or will they spit that strange syrupy soda swill on the linoleum after a nightmare nip of a sinful soft drink? There is only one way to find out.

So will this island adventure erupt from the volcano sending deliciousness high into the heavens, or will this Hawaiian luau party homage make us feel like the character dining toast is more burnt than a fire dancer mishap, ya gotta tune in to find out.

Well, you get the coolest little drive-in diner dive this side of Guy Fiere's chicken shack. That's right today we're running for our lives from fifty-foot women, Gila monsters, and Frankenstein's space monster as we buckle up, take our Chevys to the levy, and hope that this place ain't dry. Were viewing it all from the comfort of our station wagon, this week as we sit down and have a bite at Hollywood Studio's Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant. This sit-down dining experience with a nod to nostalgia has been propping up bad movies, and fake newsreels, since its opening day in 1991. The terrific twosome has a plan 9 from outer space to avoid turning into the blob by trying all of the moderately priced treats this B Horror ho down has to offer. so will This blast from the past nostalgic necromancer remind us of the Amazing Colossal Man, or will this bizarre science fiction homage make us feel like we have been comic-conned into the Invasion of the cat women of the moon? ya gotta tune in to find out.
