Ep. 793 – Beauty and the Beast

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Beauty and the Beast. It’s a podcasting tale as old as time (well, 12 years at least). We are nearing the end of the SNES movie games list so the time has come to discuss both the game and the movie for Beauty and the Beast. We just had to bring on our foremost Beastologist, Captain Gun Nerd Jon Turley, to give zero insight into this movie since he has never seen it. That’s how much we love him. So please, come hang out with us while we talk a bit about kidney stones, horror movies and all the iterations of this story. Please, sit awhile and listen to this podcast about Beauty and the Beast!

Ep. 790 – Timecop

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Timecop! That’s right, it’s all one word so say it quickly. Does this SNES game look like the 1994 Jean Claude Van Damme? No? Well, we assure you that is the movie that it’s based on. Although it turns out the game is actually a SEQUEL to Timecop. So you needed more of that movie? Here you go! Of course, we being on the internet’s foremost Van Dammologist – Sandwich Pope Phil Hawkins! We discuss some movies, some anime, a few other games, then roll right into the deep dive of Timecop the movie and the SNES game. So please, Damme it, sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 789 – A Nightmare on Elm Street

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

A Nightmare on Elm Street (with some Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and 3 sprinkled in) slashes its way into the TADPOG studios! We start of with some anime talk, some video game chat, some sampling of very expensive ham and sour candies, then we roll into strong to the movie talk on A Nightmare on Elm Street and follow it up with some equally deep talk about the NES version of the game. So if you’re a horror fan on both on the big screen and the small home screen that displays the 8 bit version of the movie as a video game then OH BOY do we have a treat for you. So please, stay awhile and listen!

Ep. 788 – Hudson Hawk

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Hudson Hawk arrived on TADPOG shores…hauled to from from the lowest depths by our very own Wizened Sage Ian. All three of us sat down, spent money to rent it, and watched the 1991 Bruce Willis box office bomb (it killed a studio) and receiver of 3 Razzie awards (nominated for 5) Hudson Hawk. Of course, this has its very own very late NES release. So not only do we get the full Hawk, we play this marvel of game as well. So if you want some real Hudson Hawk double dose chat, – oh boy do we have an episode for you. So please, don’t let our pain be for nothing. Come sit awhile and listen to this episode over Hudson Hawk!

Ep. 769 – Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is the latest in our SNES movie games series. So we dragged out the 1994 film alongside the game to get the full experience. Aaaand it was all quite the experience. This definitely falls into that category of, “Did the movie really need to be translated into a game?” So if you’re a fan of the film, we do quite a dive into it. If you haven’t played the game – who do you think you would control in it? If you’re a fan of anything Frankenstein, please come sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 765 – Lethal Weapon

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Lethal Weapon brings all its…weapons…lethally to TADPOG shores. You see Joe Pesci up there? But it says Lethal Weapon when clearly he is a character from the sequel? Are you confused? Same here. We ended up watching the first movie but the game is actually over the sequel so just know that going into this one. We do a real Girth Brooks of a Famous Duos draft, we talk about Jim Lahey, leveling Scholar, and more. So please sit awhile and listen to this episode!

An American Tail: Fievel Goes West moseys on over courtesy the Movie Game Mini-Randomizer. We had all missed this movie and game as a kids even though we remember the marketing very well, say thankee. Since it’s about a mouse we have to have a fictional mouse draft, followed by some talk about the new Fallout show, Ian’s adventures in Overwatch 2 – including comments on the new character Venture. Baby Reindeer is something we expected to find in Urban Dictionary but we talk about it. Of course, there is Dark Tower talk as the three of us are about to complete reading the series. Finally, we do a deep dive into both the game and movie so if you like fictional movie mouse talk this is the episode for you. So please, come sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 756 – Bram Stoker’s Dracula

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Bram Stoker’s Dracula FLIES on into TADPOG studios. You know, cause he can be a bat. Or mist. Does mist fly? I guess it does but maybe not in a traditional sense. It just sorts of mists around. Anyway, we finally get to Bram Stoker’s Dracula on the SNES and the movie in its full glory. Worry not, we really hit the movie part on the head here with copious amounts of movie talk and interesting tidbits. We also talk about the game. Spoilers, there may be a lot less to say about the game. But if you like Dracula and Gary Oldman, then this is the episode for you. Please, sit awhile and listen!
