Ep. 794 – Toy Story

Toy Story is a true tale of gripping mythical science on the autonomy of spirit, the self-actualization of non-human entities, and the rules of engagement they have pre-conceived as a survival mechanism against a more dominant society of war-like god beings known as “the humans.” Or something like that. I saw the movie a long time ago. Come listen to us talk about it, the rules that govern it’s existence, and even more about the SNES game about it! We talk about some anime first, a few games, a few movies, and even try to latest round of sour candy. Some please, come sit and enjoy a podcast all about Toy Story (and a little about Cars and how it makes us feel.)

Ep. 793 – Beauty and the Beast

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. 792 – J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I

Greetings, travelers! This week on TADPOG, we’re journeying into Middle-earth with a pairing of Peter Jackson’s The Fellowship of the Ring movie and the SNES game J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I. Yes, we watched the sweeping cinematic classic. Yes, we played a game where Hobbits die a lot—often hilariously. Sandwich Pope Phil joins our fellowship as a guest host to share his insights. Come listen to us explore the film, critique the game, and decide which version of Middle-earth we’d rather adventure in! J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings Vol. I finally hits our shores in both movie and game form. Also, someone pops in at the end of the episode.

Ep. 790 – Timecop

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

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

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. 784 – Snow White: Happily Ever After

Snow White: Happily Ever After – you ever heard of this? So the kings of cheap, quickly produced animation, Filmation, produced their own non-Disney sequel to Snow White where she and a squad of girls save the prince this time around. It’s a pretty wild movie. So wild we have to bring on TADPOG IT to parse though it. Jon Turley makes his grand return. So we talk about the movie, the insanity that is Filmation, this SNES game. Why they made an SNES game of this, we don’t quite understand. But hey, it was a fun discussion. So please, come sit awhile and listen to Snow White: Happily Ever After!
