For the first time in Crushgasm history, we’re hitting the books! Yes, because this week we welcome Lala Loves to the show with her book crush. Which meant I had to be more of a buyer of books and more of a reader…which, you can tell from my book crush - I haven’t done a... Continue Reading →
Celebrity Crush, Can I Keep You?
We’re dialing back this week with Shaleena, the host of ‘Everything 90s,’ a podcast about the best decade ever. However, her celebrity crush hails from the decade that followed. We’ll talk more about that later this week and for now focus on my celebrity crush from when I was a wee little one and that’s... Continue Reading →
A Vintage Comic Book Crush
Some years ago I did this annual-long series for Fandomania called Fandomanual and when I got to comics, I said that I wasn’t a traditional reader because well, I’m not. Never have I poured my heart into the superhero laced pages of a comic book, but I did love the comics that came through every... Continue Reading →

90s Con Crush: The Carrie of Children’s Movies
One of the saddest things to me is that kids today don’t have movies tailored-made for them as much as they used to. Back in the day, for every ‘Dances with Wolves’, there were a plethora of random-ass kids’ movies dedicated to everything from sports to nonsense. Today, ‘The Mighty Ducks’ and ‘Blank Checks’ are...

Let’s Get Ready to…Talk About a WWE Crush
Everyone always jokes that after the apocalypse there’ll only be Cher and cockroaches. I’d argue that the WWE would likely be around because, honestly…that shit does not die.
