PEZ Visitor Center - Orange, CT

Back in October, Mrs Dex and I went to Mohegan Sun Casino to see Duran Duran (pics here!). We stayed over night and since it was only an hour away, we went to the PEZ Visitor Center.

And I'm so glad we did! It was a lot of fun and they not only have an incredible display of PEZ dispensers but also all sorts of things from the history of PEZ.

The first thing to greet you as you enter is this enormous display of PEZ dispensers. Also, how great is that little bench that looks like candy rolls? I'd love to have something like that!

Monthly Media Recap - November 2024

I finally started playing Star Wars Outlaws so I may not be posting as much this month.

Movies

Wicked (2024)

It's been a loooong time since I saw the musical and even longer since I read the book so I can't compare this to the source material but what I can say is that I was thoroughly entertained! So much so that I didn't even notice the 160 minute run time. It's been three days and I still have Defying Gravity stuck in my head...or maybe it's ALL the advertising for the movie? Expect to see a movie musical revival as studios try to cash in on this one.

Rating: 8/10

Hush (2016, Shudder)

I've had this on my list ever since I got Shudder how ever many years ago and finally decided to check it off. This is a fantastic home invasion movie! The majority of it is a 1v1 with lots of tense moments. My only issue with it is I don't know why the antagonist didn't just break one of the windows to get in the house.
