Ep. 811 – The Jetsons: Invasion of the Planet Pirates

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The Jetsons: Invasion of the Planet Pirates, ever heard it? A true gift from the Randomizer since none of us had ever heard of it or seen it. So in celebration we do a retro futurism draft, discuss some Dungeon Crawler Carl, we get an update on Dave’s gaming mouse woes, discuss what we’ve been playing then jump right into some good old Jetson’s content. This may be a bit of a surprising one, so won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 808 – Super Troll Islands

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Super Troll Islands, that’s right. ISLANDS. Plural. So many islands of souless hairy troll faces with their butt jiggly up and down ladder. That’s not me just being weird. THAT IS AN ART ASSET FOR THIS GAME. That makes you need to listen, right? In addition to all this ridiculousness, we do a deep dive back into the 90s with a 20 spot draft of popular trends from the decade. We saw a few movies, we played a few games, we talk about them. Then we dive head first into the warm, colored waters of the Super Troll Islands. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 801 – The Untouchables

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The Untouchables somehow was missed in our movie games line-up (we eventually figure out why) so we agitate that gravel back to old haunts (a one week break) to the old movie and game plan! Before we talk about this Oscar award winning movie we discuss some Overwatch 2, a little Marvel Rivals, some Final Fantasy XIV expansions, a bit of the old Baldur’s Gate 3, and draft some fictional gangsters. Then we talk quite a bit about the movie and do a deeper dive into this game than any review magazine ever did. Our new Zine Lord has the stats to prove it. So won’t you come sit awhile and listen to this episode on The Untouchables?

Ep. 794 – Toy Story

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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. 784 – Snow White: Happily Ever After

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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

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?
