Ep. 759 – Jurassic Park (SNES)

Jurassic Park finally dino DNA’s it’s way onto TADPOG shores. Sure, we have done Jurassic Park on the Genesis and The Chaos Continues AND The Lost World but somehow we completed missed the SNES version of the original Jurassic Park. Is it cool and shadowy like the Genesis? Can you play as the Raptor? STAY TUNED AND FIND OUT! (No, you can’t. It’s very very different). We also talk a lot of about the movie and what it meant to us as kids. We also do a deep dive into some random facts that are pretty interesting. So if you like all that sort of stuff, please sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 758 – The Hunt for Red October

The Hunt for Red October has starting being…hunted. The hunt has begun? Began? We have hunted our hunt for The Hunt of Red October? Whatever. We watched a the movie and played an SNES game based off of it to continue our SNES Movie Games series. TADPOG brushes up on our best Scottish accents and reach deep in the guest host bag to pull out another reunion of TADPOG I.T. with Jon Turley! We talk about smart household technology, appliances that play songs, other submarine movies, and several Kelsey Grammer projects. If you like the movie talk, and the game talk, and all our various tangents while we do all the movie and the game talk then you’ll certainly like this one. Please, come sit awhile and listen.

Ep. 756 – Bram Stoker’s Dracula

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!

Ep. 753 – Casper

Casper ectoplasmically slides its way into our episode list this week! We just had to see what other gems Absolute Entertainment could cook up for us. Ian and Tyler had some very positive memories of this movie and Dave had never experienced it before so we’re ripe with movie talk on top of the game talk this week. We also talk about some Marvel movies, some Marvel shows, The Dark Tower and more. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to some old guys talk about Casper, the friendly ghost?

Ep. 752 – Toys

Toys! That long lauded movie that all sorts of kids completely misunderstood and had totally different expectations from has come to the shores of TADPOG. Worry not, we watched the movie and come fully equipped to talk about it as well as the game. Oh, HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY. We celebrate that by taking a romantic comedy draft. Ian discusses some Overwatch news, we make plenty of The Dark Tower jokes (we cry your pardon if you don’t love The Dark Tower even thought you should). We talk about fishing on boats in various video games. But we know you’re ready for that juicy and delectable Toys talk for the movie and the game. So please, come sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 751 – The Karate Kid

The Karate Kid kicks through the nostalgia wall directly in TADPOG studio. We all watched, or re-watched, the original so we could get into the proper mindset to play and review this NES game. So we talk plenty about the ins and outs of the movie (and dip our toe into the rest of the series) before we get started grinding down into the nitty gritty of the game. We do a draft. We talk a few movies but we really do spend a lot of time on the subject matter. So please sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 750 – Top Gun

Top Gun flies into TADPOG studios! Does it safely land to proper fanfare? Or does it do a nosedive into the water right before the carrier like 99% of all landing attempts the general population did attempting to play this game? We discuss The Boys, Fargo, Final Fantasy VI, and even do a particular draft of insufferable jerks (we do use different verbiage though). So come here us do a deep dive into Top Gun, the movie, Top Gun: Maverick, and both the NES games – Top Gun and Top Gun: The Second Mission. So come, please sit awhile and listen.

Ep. 747 – Clue

Clue is here! We know the SNES game isn’t really based off the movie but it’s a really great excuse to also rewatch the Tim Curry classic since there may not be a huge amount to say about an SNES game based off a board game that plays…very much like a board game. So please come hang out with us while we talk some TV shows, FFXIV expansions, some Dark Tower, do a board game draft AND talk a whole lot about Clue the movie. And as much as the SNES game as possible. Clue!
