Def Leppard's 1987 album, "Hysteria," was four years in the making, and involved an unusual amount of tragedy, expense, rebirth, and ultimately triumph, providing a wealth of hit songs that the band still perform to this day. Come along with us on the journey, and delve into the depths.

"The Black Hole," Disney's first PG-rated movie, was released in what most people assume was a response to Star Wars, but as you'll see (as we did), had its roots much further back, in the disaster movies from the early 1970's. An uncharacteristically dark and strange movie for the Mouse House, we extol its many virtues and quirks, and especially its stunning visual effects. Watch it on the largest screen you can, and revel in its weirdness, as well as its haunting John Barry score.
