The Curator of Schlock #371: Free Hand for a Tough Cop
What was the deal with perms for men in the 1970s? Who thought this was a good idea? I’m trying not to be judgmental. After all, I’m a Curator of Schlock. Let your freak flag fly as far as I’m concerned, but did you ever think of the consequences? I’m sure Bob Ross thought it… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #370: Syndicate Sadists
How about Nic Cage as “the Spider”? Yes, it’s cool that we have a Spider-Man set in 1930s New York and played by Nic Cage who spends more time getting sloshed rather than wearing the mask. I even like the fact that you can watch this show in black and white. So, yeah, Spider-Noir is a winner.… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #369: Almost Human
I suppose if I could time travel to any period, it would be Italy in the 1970s. What the blazes was going in that country? Years back, I bought some vinyl records titled Criminale and their slipcases are so bizarre. Look at this one. Do you know what’s going on? That lady doesn’t seem to be having… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #378: Time Bandits
The things we watch as kids. Oliver! often made the rounds in my parents’ VCR. It taught me many things such as not asking for more gruel from a portly man wearing a Napoleon hat. He will sing a song about how awful you are in front of the other orphans. Then he’ll take you out in… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #367: Labyrinth
I have to confess something. I don’t have rose colored glasses when it comes to the 1980s. It was the age of Care Bears, Rainbow Brite, and Herself the Elf. Also, don’t get me started on Cabbage Patch Kids. I found them disgusting then. I find them disgusting now. I didn’t like cute things. I liked monsters. Fortunately, tonight’s… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #366: The Dark Crystal
Does anyone remember that time Kenny Rogers guest starred on The Muppet Show? He performed “The Gambler” in front of a live audience. Instead of Kermit or Gonzo or Fozzie Bear, he shares the train compartment with three muppets designed to look like old men. There are times during his performance, Kenny Rogers is fighting not… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #365: The NeverEnding Story
As many of you know, I had lost my Beanie Baby collection due to that fracas at the Museum of Schlock. But that’s okay. I have a new obsession. Labubu! I just love those little rascals. I have Tycoco, Lychee Berry, Green Grape, Puca, Zizi, and Zymomo. I built a custom oak shelf above my… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #364: War Machine
It had been almost five years since I’d left the Museum of Schlock, but with the generosity of the contributors to my GoFundMe campaign for a kangaroo habitat, the Museum of Schlock will be open for business in a couple of weeks. Sure I had other stories to tell like our run in with Edwige’s evil… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #363: The Initiation of Sarah
The Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando, and I parted ways. With the Goose Lord and his gang finished once and for all, he had other obligations that needed to be fulfilled. Among them was finding the guy that stole the truck of his good friend, Big Tom, and lost his cargo. The… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #362: Someone’s Watching Me!
As Edwige, the Revenging Manta, Albert Simmons, and I drove away from the bloody scene at the marina. It seems that Albert was the hero of the day after all. Albert had only pretended to betray us so he could go sabotage the mass driver. The Revenging Manta was in on it, his taking a… Continue reading
