A few weeks ago, the Olympics reached the finish line. Watching athletes excel in the sports they’ve trained relentlessly in for years inspires many of us to work hard “go for the gold” in our own lives… but some great music helps when the going gets tough!
You know what they say: “When the going gets tough, the tough get jammin’!”
… No? That’s not what they say? Well, they should, because one of the best ways to get going when the going gets tough is to get a tune going in your head!
So let Jammin’ with Jamie be the background music to your motivational training montage, as we jam to some…
Technically, we’re still in the summer season. However, for students of every age, it certainly feels like summer’s coming to an end, because school is right around the corner!
But whether you’re looking forward to the start of classes or not, Jammin’ with Jamie is here to provide a great playlist to study to that’s busting at the seams with…
If you’re a loyal Jammin’ with Jamie Jammer, you know we love to celebrate the latest film releases with appropriately-themed jam sessions!
This week sees the release of Ghostbusters, starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones, directed by Paul Feig, and written by Katie Dippold and Paul Feig.
Here’s the trailer…
So grab your proton packs, zip up your jumpsuits, and lock and load your best one-liners, because we’re about to bust into a jam session that’s guaranteed to be a scream with a roster of…
Two weeks ago, we jammed to a slew of sunny summer songs to ring in the season!
But with the heat of summer on full blast, it can be easy to just start complaining about the sun and humidity and forget that the warmth is only temporary. In just a couple of months, we’ll all be digging our heavy coats out of the back of the closet!
Although many people have a favorite season, each season has its perks and its drawbacks. So this week, we’re going to celebrate every season with a super set of…
Around this time of year, many people find themselves faced with a decision: whether or not to attend a dance or other event involving dancing. Whether this event is prom, another end-of-school dance, a music festival, an outdoor concert, or any number of other events, the start of summer means everyone wants to shake their tail feathers!
Just the idea of dancing makes some people nervous. But don’t worry: we at Jammin’ with Jamie have you covered with this two-part theme!
The next time a flash mob breaks out, don’t sweat it on the sidelines: sweat it out in the spotlight in the middle of the dance floor with the smooth moves you learned by jammin’ with us to…
I’m sure you’ve all heard of the phenomenon of “Christmas inJuly.” At its core, it’s a way of bringing the joy of the holidayseason two seasons ahead of time.
So, why not do the same for other holidays?
I secluded myself in my laboratory to concoct a solution, and I emerged with a new creation…
Believe it or not, spring is starting soon! This may particularly surprise Midwesterners, who had such a mild winter.
Nevertheless, spring will soon be upon us, and I want all my fellow Jammin’ with Jamie Jammers out there to be ready to greet it with a smile… and a song!
So, with that in mind, this jam session will present a bouquet of…
Oftentimes, it can seem like there’s just too much emphasis on romantic relationships.
So, after our annual Jammin’ with Jamie Valentine’s Day shows, I like to turn the attention to something that I don’t think gets celebrated nearly enough…
Valentine’s Day may be over, but we’re still celebrating on Jammin’ with Jamie in our own unique way!
Our last jam session was met with some great reactions, proving once more that no matter what your feelings are about Valentine’s Day, hilarious music unites us all!
After our previous jam session was such a hit, now I’m even more excited for us to continue jammin’ to…
A lot of people wonder how I even know about all the classic horror and monster movies that I do… and the obscure ones, too! Well, the answer is horror hosts, like Svengoolie and…
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (1988)!
Fair warning, “ladies and Dobermans”: accidental (and deliberate) double entendres will be busting out of this entry! (Oh boy, here we go…)
I do not own any of the following images or videos!
Here’s the trailer…
I wrote about how I discovered Elvirahere on Terror from Beyond the Daves.
As I seem to say all the time, I saw this amazing movie by accident. My younger brother’s actually the one who found this one. I returned the favor later by finding her second film, Elvira’s Haunted Hills (2001), which is just as fun. They make a fantastic double feature! (Oh geez…)
I first saw Elvira, Mistress of the Dark before I’d seen any of the classic horror and monster movies that I love so much, and before the revival of Elvira’s Movie Macabre (which you should definitely check out) hit the boob tube. I was also just at the age where I could actually understand the double entendres and suggestive visual gags I was about to witness… along with my younger brother… and my parents.
None of us had seen this movie before. In fact, I’d never seen anything even remotely like this movie before. Basically, Elvira was my first exposure to double entendres. (Oh boy…)
This is another movie you’re going to want to watch more than once. You’ll be laughing so hard the first time around (or otherwise distracted…) that you’ll miss at least half of the rapid-fire humor.
Here’s the basic, spoiler-free rundown…
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (1988) Plot: A horror movie host who dreams of headlining in Las Vegas suddenly finds herself one of the heirs of a deceased relative; when she goes to a conservative town to collect her inheritance, she’s forced to stay when her car breaks down, but all is not as it seems… Villain(s): That would be a spoiler! Scare Factor: The scares are mostly played for laughs here. If something does manage to creep you out, Elvira will surely put a comedic twist on it within seconds. Gore Factor: There’s some gore, but it’s relatively minimal. Family-Friendly Factor: This is Elvira we’re talking about here. Double entendres, suggestive language, and her own ample assets––– you know: her sarcasm and comedic timing––– abound.
Wow! Elvira’s really HOT!
ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK! Spoilers lurk beyond this point!
