Wax Pack Flashback: Ghostbusters II Trading Cards from 1989

It’s time to pull another pack of old cards from the vault and rip them open to see what we find inside.  With Halloween right around the corner, I turned to a pack that is somewhat appropriate for the season, and selected Ghostbusters II cards from 1989.  Produced by Topps, this was a 99 card set featuring scenes from the movie.  Well, 88 cards and 11 stickers.

As part of any good marketing machine from that time period, a set of trading cards were produced to capitalize on the anticipated success of the movie.  These cards really hold no value in modern times, except for things like this post.  So if you never had any of these cards, or if you did and just want to refresh your memory on them, check out the scans below.

Up All Night: Summer Job (1989)

Up All Night

 

Welcome to the Up All Night theater!  Even though a lot of schools have started their new school year, it’s still summer time.  So what better way to kill a night in the summer than by watching an old B-movie with a fun summer theme?  That’s a rhetorical question.  There is no better way.  So with that, for tonight’s Up All Night feature, I proudly present the 1989 movie, Summer Job.  After you watch, leave some thoughts or a rating in the comments.

Summer Job is about a less than elite, group of college co-eds that pursue sexual adventure, and bits of revenge, and actually do some of the work they are expected to do at a resort over the summer.
