Ep. 866 – HAL’s Hole in One Golf

HAL’s Hole in One Golf birdies it’s way onto TADPOG Shores. We are sadly down a Bubba Drewski this week, but at least we all saw Project Hail Mary, so we have that going for us. We go on about what we have been playing AND what we have been reading – we are very close to Pizza Hut in our Accelerated Reader programs. We talk about Dungeon Crawler Carl, and some Delta Green tabletop, and plenty more. Oh yes, and this game. Actually quite a bit. So please, come sit awhile and listen! HAL’s Hole in One Golf!

HAL’s Hole in One Golf Shownotes:

Project Hail Mary was great
Tyler started Outer Worlds 2
Ian is on The Dresden Files – Dead Beat
He also finished Fallout Season 2
ALANNA UBACH IS AMAZING

Ep. 865 – Pokemon Pinball (GBC)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Pokémon Pinball does that one banned maneuver where you lazarus the ball from certain doom back into play, directly to TADPOG shores. Chosen as the TADPOG retro game of the month by the TADPOG Nation, we thought it would be timely to knock this one out. Since it’s pinball, you know we have to bring on Pinball Archmage Chris Edler, and we have another fortunate visit from Bubba Drewski! Hey, it’s a quiz from Ross Rachel Green! We talk about other pinball games, some books, some stand-up, the mythos of Max Headroom, and more. Won’t you come sit a while and listen to four old white guys talk about old Game Boy Color games? Pokémon Pinball!

Pokemon Pinball Shownotes:

We also enjoy Kirby’s Pinball Land
THAT IS NOT HARRY DRESDEN
We are all thankful Matt Murdock found Christ.
This Japanese dude and his toilet fetish
Medical Debt is the worst, thank you John Oliver.
The Black Tongue Thief
A GIRAFFE’S TONGUE IS BLACK
Mark Normand has a great stand up special
Nora Dunn was not a fan of the Dice
October Faction
Chris was also on for Sonic Spinball
Afroman and that lemon pound cake
Did you see the Max Headroom show?
Or hear about a pirate taking over WGN?
There is now a real Pokémon pinball table

Ep. 844 – F1 ROC: Race of Champions & F1 ROC II: Race of Champions (SNES)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

So F1 looks to be a pretty broad SNES catergory for the ol Randomizer so this week we are knocking out two of them with F1 ROC. We have to bring on our foremost F1ologist in Bubbadrewski (I joke here as usual but he did really know what he was talking about, so did Ian.) We knew racing games tend to be a little barebones so we also included the latest Brad Pitt movie, F1. We also tried some very special, or very not special in any way, holiday-themed Oreos. We take a great fan-made draft and more. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to two people who know F1 and two people who know absolutely nothing about F1 talk about it in great detail?

F1 ROC: Race of Champions Shownotes:

Is Airplane the funniest movie?
Heard about Trump and Clinton?
One Battle After Another is mentioned.
More Frankenstein talk.
Have you seen Sissy Spacek’s Carrie?
The King in Yellow, is Hastur be.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood might be a parallel world to F1.
These Thanksgiving Oreos.
Remember when we did F-Zero?

Ep. 830 – Rambo

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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?

Rambo Shownotes:

Jamie Farr has a statue in Toledo, OH.
There is also a zoo with a special entrance in Toledo.
It has a lot of great lebanese food.
Chocotpus also started Clair Obscure: Expedition 33.
AND he get tons of free Final Boss Sour.
Jack started Kindergarten!
We all love Interstellar.
Dave enjoys playing Mothership.
Ian continues his devotion to Solo Leveling.
Freaky Tales gets a mention from The Horror Hole.
The Forever War get a mild review.
Tickle me Frank Stallone.
Reading Rambo, the shirt.
We have covered other Stallone games.

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!

A Nightmare on Elm Street Shownotes:

Ian begins Ranma 1/2
He also started Delicious in Dungeon
Art the Clown was based on Robbie Rotten.
Ian brings up Junkenstein’s Laboratory.
You simply must sample the Iberico Ham.
It goes well with manchego cheese.
We love some Final Boss Sour fruit candy.
Horizon II FFXI private servers get some love.
The Siblings Moore get into Warhammer 40k Space Marines 2.
Strong connections are laid to Black Christmas.
The AVGN did this game a very long time ago.
EPISODE MENTION.

Ep. 780 – The Rocketeer

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The Rocketeer figuratively rockets onto TADPOG shores (and directly into into a garbage can that we keep there). We continue our long running series yet again where we watch the movie and play the game. We take a deep dive into this movie for a nice little review and then hop skip and jump onto the straight up dumpster fire that is the game. Really, we don’t even want to be coy with this like maybe we liked or maybe we didn’t and you’ll have to tune in and see. This game blows goats. It’s truly terrible. But come sit and while and let us tell you why! The Rocketeer!

The Rocketeer Shownotes:

The trailer for The Rocketeer
Timothy Dalton was James Bond AND in this!
Hallmark Movies
Ham and Cheese on a Roll, IYKYK.
Season 12 of Overwatch 2
Dark Knight is not a tank.
Reaper is what Dark Knight should be.
But it would be better if it was this Reaper.
r/findthesniper
Bad Monkey starring Vince Vaughn comes recommended.
Vince Vaughn in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Ep. 775 – Dick Tracy

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Dick Tracy agitates the gravel on his way to TADPOG shores courtesy of the fact we just felt like doing this movie/game combo. This one is a real Girth Brooks with some TV talk, Ian’s Horror Hole, the drama of Tenacious D, and the mourning of the passing of some of our favorite celebrities. We do a double barrel ten spot blind draft then dive head long into Dick Tracy from the movies and the NES. Won’t you be so kind as to stay awhile and listen?

Dick Tracy Shownotes:

That’s the ticket!
Ian loves Juno’s Dump truck.
Not that Juno.
Oh Tenacious D.
Superman with Christopher Reeves birthed the DC Universe.
Bob Newhart in Elf.
Richard Simmons
Melissa had the perfect night gown for a six year old.
PRIMUS
Oh, you meal the real Primus. Primus the One.
The Rainbow Goblins.
Bando Stone comes recommended by Dave.
EPISODE DROP.
