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…
After all the riveting requests I received last week from all you wonderful Jammers, I realized that we couldn’t hit the brakes on this theme (and tradition) after just one week!
So pack your bags again, Jammers, because we’re going to extend our trip with travel tunes for another week with some…
With summer right around the corner––– and, in many places, feeling like it’s already in full swing––– it’s that magical time of year when people everywhere start packing their bags to travel. Students––– and even some teachers––– travel home after months of hard work. Recent graduates travel across the country and around the world to seek out new adventures as they start new chapters in their lives. And people of all ages start thinking about where they’d love to go on vacation!
Wherever you’re headed, we at Jammin’ with Jamie will continue our grand tradition of giving you a souvenir to take with you: a travel playlist to jam to on your way. So, if your journey home takes an unexpected detour, don’t worry, because you can pass the time with some…
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…
This week, it’s time for anotherinstallment of a grand Jammin’ with Jamie tradition, we’re going to celebrate the successful completion of income taxes!
Whether you finished your taxes long ago, are scrambling to get them done, or are somewhere in the middle, tune in and jam with us, because this week, we’re jammin’ to…
As we discussed last month, now that spring is here, we’re seeing a lot more animals again!
Also, Disney’s newest animated film, Zootopia, opened in theaters last month (If you haven’t seen it, you really should!) and Disney’s live action remake of The Jungle Book opens next week!
Some people complain about animals. I don’t see the point in that. Humans share the Earth with all sorts of amazing creatures, so why not embrace it?
Start brushing up on your animal impressions, because this week, we’re jammin’ to…
Thank you again to all of you to stayed with us so patiently as we worked through unexpected technical difficulties last week.
To make up for lost time, I decided to not only carry over the songs we had to skip over last week for the sake of time, but also the whole theme, giving us…
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!
