New Purple Stuff Podcast! Join us for a look back at the 1985 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, starring He-Man, Rainbow Brite and Rue McClanahan! Listen here: dinosaurdracula.com/blog/1985-macys-parade/

Let’s check in with the WWF Superstars at the 1989 Survivor Series, who kicked off the show that year by letting us know what they are thankful for! For me, it’s not Thanksgiving until I hear Rowdy Roddy Piper say, “I’m thankful I’m not Ricky Rude 😘”

I’ve still got two days of work to get through, but my mind is already on that Thanksgiving dinner, particularly the buttered toast and popcorn.

Aimee brings us today’s Moment of Zen all the way from Disney World, where they are displaying screen-used costumes and props from A MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL and THE SANTA CLAUSE!

Yooooooooo!!! This is gonna be a must listen for everyone check it out!

I definitely appreciate the Broadway performances as an adult more than I did as a kid.

Hey! I'm doing mini holiday blogs on the site every day through Xmas, if you're into that sort of thing. Read and check back: dinosaurdracula.com/blog/christmas-countdown/

**NEW EPISODE** Join us as we ring in the holiday season with The Joker, ALF, Garfield, Marvel Superheroes, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers, Barbie, New Kids on the Block, and MUCH more - it's the 1989 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! Available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, all the places.

SpiderMan has a long history of appearing at The Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade since 1981. As a balloon or joining his fellow Marvel characters on floats, many people still associate Spidey with the legendary event. He was last seen in 2024 and it looks like we’ll see him return this year! (C)

The 1989 Parade was hosted by Willard Scott, Deborah Norville, & everyone’s favorite alien life force ALF!!

AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY looks amazing.

The Joker wasn’t the only comic book character at the 1989 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade - the iconic giant Spider-Man balloon was accompanied this year by a Marvel Universe float!

Perhaps the most notorious moment in the 1989 Macy’s Parade was an attempt to invoke the spirit of that summer’s blockbuster movie Batman - that’s right, it’s The Joker! Well, not really.

TALK ABOUT WHITE MEAT 🤡

For our first-ever Thanksgiving episode we are talking the 1989 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! Stayed tuned to our social media this week as we’ll highlight some of the crazy floats, balloons, performances, & characters that you can expect us to discuss in our new episode, dropping FRIDAY AT NOON!

Can I just live inside this commercial forever?

I like to imagine that stick is sitting at the bottom of a closet, under the carpet, forgotten since the Summer of 1995. So he's most def dead.

Already doing some real thinkin’ about that Thanksgiving dinner. 🤤
