Ep. 849 – Super James Pond (SNES)

Super James Pond swims through the snow to TADPOG shores! Why snow? For some reason, this is a Christmas game, so that’s why we let it circumvent the Randomizer and get some love…or more likely some hate. You’ll have to listen or have listened to a few of our shows before to infer our general feelings about this sort of game. But hey, it’s not a sports or a Koei game. We try a cornucopia of gummy treats, talk about Paducah food, Beavis and Butt-Head, and more. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen? MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Ep. 845 – The Adventures of Dr. Franken (SNES)

The Adventures of Dr. Franken, otherwise known as a justification to watch the new Frankenstein for the show, arrives on TADPOG shores! We mix is up in order to keep Nicole guess with our order of operations and discuss Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein right out of the gate. Then we discuss plenty of Stephen King, Janitor Joe, Young Frankenstein, and more. THEN we get to the game. Well, we also try some Goo Goo bars and the latest offering from Final Boss Sour. So if you have a hankering from some Steinkering (I know, just go with it for me) then come sit awhile and listen to us grouse about The Adventures of Dr. Franken.

Ep. 830 – Rambo

Rambo bleeds it’s way onto TADPOG shores. Wait, that cover shot doesn’t look like it’s from the original Rambo movie, he never wielded that sort of gun in the daylight. On grass and dirt. Could this game actually be based not n Rambo First Blood but on the terribly named First Blood Part II? YES. Does that mean we have to watch and talk about BOTH movies in order to set the scene for this NES game? YES. Do you have out foremost Rambologist, Jon Turley, on the show? OF COURSE. So please, come listen to 4 old white guys talk about a movie from the 80s and and NES game from the very early 90s. We also try some stuff, talk about anime, and a few books. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 823 – Predator (NES)

Predator crash lands on the shores of TADPOG to turn invisible and hunt us using it’s heat vision. But don’t worry, we Peppa Pig out with some muddy puddles and we’re safe. But we do bring on the genuine article of foremost Predator experts with Game Bud Prime Nathan E (he held the 2nd best time IN THE WORLD for speed running this game). First, however, we talk zombie movies, Marvel movies, FFXIV, Star Trek, and Switch 2. We do gush over the original Predator movie aaaand them move onto the game. So please, sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 822 – Conan (NES)

Conan! What is best in life?! Not this game. It most definitely crushes Tyler, Dave, and Ian, drives us out before it, and hears the lamentations of our wives. That’s just Conan for the NES. What do we think of the 1982 hit, Conan the Barbarian? A lot more. So please, come hear us chat about a few horror movies, primarily Clown in a Cornfield. We explore more of the new Final Fantasy XIV expansion. Burlios caught a mouse and it was a thing.

Ep. 820 – Darkman

Darkman now darkens the door step of TADPOG with all its Sam Raimi glory. Per request of Ian after The Shadow, we watch this movie and play the game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Or NES. Am I trying to get more words into the intro for SEO? Maybe. I’ll never tell. We visit Ian’s Horror Hole, talk about Pee Wee Herman, hear the latest on Final Fantasy XIV, and discuss the raw tabletop power of the Circle of the Moon Druid. But there is lots and lots of prime 1990 Darkman content. So please, sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 815 – Magic Sword (M…! Ah! Gic Sword)

Magic Sword

Magic Sword, but you probably know it by it’s much more common name, Mmmmm-agicsword. We gather the power of the blackorb and use it call forth a brand new guest hold, one whom is well versed in all magics and swords most fowl – Xalnop! He has been a fan of this game from far back in the ancient times – The 90s. So he helps us sort out all the swords and all the magics that power those swords. We also discuss LaMulana, geckos, visit Ian’s Horror Hole, explore the cosmos of Final Fantasy XIV, and eat some Peanut Butter and Jelly M&Ms. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen? Also, Happy Birthday ChocoChica!

So please, come sit awhile and listen to all things Home Alone 2 and more – MERRY CHRISTMAS with this little presentation of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
