Throwback Thursdays: Schlock Me Tonite

Years ago—sometime between Weird Science and Iron Eagle III—I heard this movie line:
“The human body is a fascinating specimen. 99% of it may be operating perfectly, yet if that remaining 1% is defective, the body dies.”

An Interview with Mick Boogie: Motivation Personified

Jetcomx’s newest kid on the block, Marlene Boyette, recently had a chance to sit down and chop it up the Renaissance man himself, Mick Boogie.
