Hello once again my caffeine loving friends, its nice to see you here once more. Now some of you might remember my coverage of the 2025 CoffeeFest which took over a section of the Javits Center back in March. We were excited to return to the trade show of course and stoked to be doing so in a professional capacity as a member of the media. If you didn’t see that coverage you can just click HERE to open up a new browser tab with everything to refresh your memory and now onto the topic at hand. During that exploration I did a number of exhibitor interviews for our Official YouTube Channel but we had so many events with so many videos that those clips are only just premiering now. The videos “live” on our Channel of course but have also been batched together for inclusion on the website for greater reach. The first stop would be the awesome farmers from Finca La Fortuna.

On June 20th, 1975, the Universal Pictures film “Jaws” became the first Summer blockbuster and kept beachgoers terrified about hitting the surf and rightly so. For it’s time it was truly ahead of the game and in honor of its 50th Anniversary the movie returns to the big screen for a limited time running from today 8/29 until 9/4. I’ve shared the celebration poster, some cast and a brief premise along with the original poster and trailer. It’s time for you to be afraid to go in the water….Again.

The Plot: When a massive killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community off Long Island, it’s up to the local police chief, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer to hunt the beast down.

Well my friends, the day has arrived and we are directing this notice primarily at the fans of the hit animated series “King Of The Hill”. The show was given a continuation not too long ago and it was back in July when I shared the Official Trailer that you can see via the hyperlinked text. Are you excited?

I’ve decided to stick to the program of continuing to help out the release of the “Happy Gilmore 2” film which premieres today on the Netflix streaming service. It’s been a forever since I last saw the first film which I believe is more than thirty years ago but I digress. When we last “met” for this one it was for the Official Trailer and if you missed that post just click the hyperlinked text to review it before we continue along. To make sure that you go into this one fully prepared I’ve once again added in the basic premise and its ensemble cast down below the Official Release poster. Enjoy.
