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!

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. 775 – Dick Tracy

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?

Ep. 773 – The Mask

The Mask, that means someone better stop us. You get it. The joke was smokin’. Get it? I’m throwing jokes at you like spicy meatballs. GET IT?! We watched the movie AND played the game yet again as part of our mini randomizer of authentic and high quality SNES movie games. This movie holds a special childhood place in all our hearts, so listen to us revisit it and review it then discuss how the game compares. We do a blind draft, Ian’s Mercari fiasco, and more. So please come sit awhile and listen to try to pull the Norse god Loki out of green mask in The Mask!

Ep. 769 – Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein

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. 768 – Dennis the Menace

Dennis the Menace is back! In movie and video game form. European Listeners, this is a very different Dennis the Menace and the story is pretty odd (don’t worry, we get into it). We have a very special draft that ended up being one of our favorites that we have ever done then we dive head long into the 1993 classic movie…then we pivot into the game. Let’s going ahead and put it out there that the Angry Video Game Nerd dedicated a whole episode to just this particular SNES game. So please, sit awhile and listen to us go on about the menace know as Dennis here in the United States.

Ep. 762 – An American Tail: Fievel Goes West

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. 761 – Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival

Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival connects its rainbow to TADPOG. Remember that Muppet draft we didn’t have time to get to on our last all drafts episode? Well, we just decided to go in “whole hog” (Wokka Wokka) and not only do a Muppet (well, anything Jim Henson) draft but we did the only applicable Muppet video game Tyler could find in a 2 minute Google search, this little gem for the NES. So please, come listen to a menagerie of Jim Henson creation content this week with Muppet Adventure: Chaos at the Carnival!
