Free Film Friday: ABC's The Earth Day Special (1990)

Free Film Friday is where we feature an individual film in it's entirety taken from a user from Youtube to be enjoyed by you, the reader (or viewer, since this is cinema). As we will be showing films that may not rest in the public trust we must, as always, state the following:

We at Culturally Significant! do not own the rights or 

claim the copyright of the film embedded. Those rights 

belong to the original owner and not the user unless noted.   

 For this weeks film we are breaking our second rule: film. What we have to show today is not a film, despite the start studded talent involved, but a TV special. Yes it's ABC's cleverly named 'The Earth Day Special' (1990).

Part Zombie. Part Electric. All Robocop.

I was planning to run an article regarding the second part of the Electric Zombie Winter line, which focused on 'Robocop' (1987) and 'Robocop 2' (1990), but then the awesome blog Geek Leak beat me to it (by like 12 days...damn).

Happy VD from Culturally Significant!

It's Valentines Day and we'd like to express our love with this lovely sentiment from Dr. Peter Venkman .

Happy Valentine's Day cultists.

Electric Zombie Ain't Afraid of No Ghost (or Monsters).

Being a child in the 80's meant something very simple: you could handle things that might scare you. I'm not sure if it was a cultural observation or simply the whims of unscrupulous content creators but we growing up had a lot of spooky things to enjoy and keep us up at night. That's where Electric Zombie excels.

Electric Zombie, and its mad genius Kyle Crawford,  has just released their first wave of a Winter 2014 line and it is all about spooks and ghouls. Now, Crawford is somewhat of a polarizing figure in the world of design lines due to his bluntness but the man has high standards and is not afraid to run his companies how he wants. Whatever you think of him you have to respect how Electric Zombie puts out great work (and Crawford doesn't seem to care what you think of him anyway).

First up is perhaps the coolest thing on the planet at this moment (and "It Came from 1984" is currently going on) and that's the 'Spooker' print featuring the ghost of 'The Real Ghostbusters'.

 

Free Film Friday: 'Pennies from Heaven' (1981)

Free Film Friday is a new feature on CultSig! that will feature an individual film in it's entirety taken from a user from Youtube to be enjoyed by you, the reader (or viewer, since this is cinema). As we will be showing films that may not rest in the public trust we must state the following:

We at Culturally Significant! do not own the rights or 

claim the copyright of the film embedded. Those rights 

belong to the original owner and not the user unless noted. 

Now that that's out of the way we will start this new tradition with the 1981 flop turned classic 'Pennies from Heaven'
