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. 821 – Total Recall

Total Recall! Did we do this before? It’s okay if you don’t totally recall. See what I did there? Well, we jump right in here to continue to do some NES games based on 80s/90s movies with this one here. We visit Ian’s Horror Hole right off with a long list of movies. We discuss the differences in roadhouses, both Texas and Logan’s. Opinions on the Switch 2 and staples are delivered. The Karate Kid and Sinners are seen and talked about then we talk quite a bit about the movie, play an improv game, then get to the NES game. If you enjoyed Total Recall then this is the episode for you. So please, come sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 783 – The Pagemaster

The Pagemaster swashbuckles, flies, and…limps its way to TADPOG shores. We’re all fans of Macaulay Culkin here but this movie slipped past both Tyler and Dave and the game eluded all 3 hosts. So it’s a deep dive into both the movie and the game yet again. Some powerful opinions all around. To describe the plot of the movie poorly – “A boy suffers a concussion and gain the courage to attempt dangerous bike stunts without a helmet.” So there is that, talk of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, a blind draft of child actors, and more. So please, won’t you stay awhile and listen?

Ep. 771 – Cutthroat Island

Cutthroat Island does a nose dive, really, a straight multi-million dollar tanking right into our studio courtesy of Son of Randomizer – the SNES movie game randomizer. So we talk about this very special and somewhat historical movie and it not quite as special or historical SNES game. But before that we recount Ian’s movies and game news of the week, hear about Dave’s Las Vegas trip, talk about Brandon of Axelay fame, then tear into the game/movie of the week. But hey, lots of stuff here so please. Come sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 739 – Judge Dredd

Judge Dredd has come to conclude our Stallonesgiving series in style. We have now all seen Judge Dredd and give our very detailed feelings on both the movie and the game. We also talk about the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, we take a quick dip into “Anime I?” territory, look at Warthunder, Treehouse of Horror, and some other horror hole related things. So, if you love the movie talk along with the game talk, especially if it Sylvester Stallone flavored, well, we have quite the episode for you in Judge Dredd. Come sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 735 – The Itchy & Scratchy Game

The Itchy & Scratchy Game is here and concludes our SNES Simpsons Saga! None of us had ever heard of or experienced this game in any way so it was brand new territory for all of us. But before we talk all about Itchy trying to kill Scratchy, we visit the Horror Hole, chat about some “Anime I?”, the new sauces at McDonald’s, and even more. So please, come sit awhile and listen to fight. And bite. And fight, and bite…and fight over the wonderful world of The Itchy & Scratchy Game.
