Ep. 873 – Mina the Hollower

Mina the Hollower
Play

Mina the Hollower digs it’s way over to TADPOG shores – it has to be something special in order to break out SNES streak with a new release. Some please come sit awhile and listen to us review this retro style game for Steam. Tyler went to Jungle Jim’s and returned with a bevy of treats, so we bring on Chocochica to try them out with us. So plenty of sampling, LOTS of TADPOG Book Nook going on with Ian reaching a pivotal point in the Dresden Files and Tyler finishing a few books too. But Mina is the start of the show here, so join us in the chat – wont’ you? Mina the Hollower!

Ep. 870 – Jim Lee’s Wild C.A.T.S. (Covert Action Teams) (SNES)

Play

Jim Lee’s Wild C.A.T.S. comes oh so covertly to TADPOG shores courtesty of The Randomizer (All Hail!). We discuss a lot of books, from the new Dungeon Crawler Carl, to the Dresden Files, to Hearts in Atlantis and more. We discuss a few movies, try a lot of chips and candy (LISTEN TO US CHEW, PHIL), before we hear from Scary Larry about this game and add in our own thoughts. So lots to cover in this one. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen to us discuss the good and bad of Jim Lee’s Wild C.A.T.S.?

Ep. 854 – Willow (NES)

Play

Willow! Straight from Josh Nance’s heart to the shores of TADPOG. It doesn’t help us get to the end of the SNES library any quicker but we all need to live a little. We can have a little Willow, as a treat. This one may sound a little different (very different in Tyler’s case) but Paducah was hit by a huge winter storm that left each of us stranded at our homes, so we have to record virtually. Just know that going in. We go right to TADPOG’s Book Nook, see what Ian has been watching, catch up with Bubba Drewski, and think about MegaDeth. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen?

Ep. 850 – 2025 Year in Review (All Calls)

Play

The holiday season has come for us all, and with all the chaos surrounding it, we decided to listen to Taryn and bring back some calls. We clear out the entire backlog this time and start 2026 with a completely clean slate of calls. We discuss some movies, some current games, some books, and wrap it up with a great selection of calls to wrap of the year. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen to the 2025 Year in Review?

Ep. 846 – Post Thanksgiving Lite Bake (2025)

Play

Post Thanksgiving Lite Bake is here to give us a little content preparation relief with all the Thanksgiving plans and shenanigans. Luckily, Bubba Drewski is here for us so we have a full house for chat, drafts, and more. We discuss what we’ve been playing, what did for Thanksgiving, what we’ve been watching and more. While there is game talk, it’s not really focused anywhere but we promise to get back to that next week. Please sit awhile and listen while we have a Post Thanksgiving Lite Bake and digest the mass quantities consumed.

Ep. 845 – The Adventures of Dr. Franken (SNES)

Play

The Adventures of Dr. Franken, otherwise known as a justification to watch the new Frankenstein for the show, arrives on TADPOG shores! We mix is up in order to keep Nicole guess with our order of operations and discuss Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein right out of the gate. Then we discuss plenty of Stephen King, Janitor Joe, Young Frankenstein, and more. THEN we get to the game. Well, we also try some Goo Goo bars and the latest offering from Final Boss Sour. So if you have a hankering from some Steinkering (I know, just go with it for me) then come sit awhile and listen to us grouse about The Adventures of Dr. Franken.

Ep. 843 – The Sporting News: Baseball (SNES)

Play

The Sporting News: Baseball slides its way to TADPOG Shores, courtesy of the Randomizer. Just for good measure, we bring someone who has actually heard of The Sporting News – BubbyDrewski! Hey, it’s TADPOG and sports. Not arcade sports but a real sports simulator type game so you know what they generally means for us. So we get the game talk out of the way pretty early then dive into a smell draft, fried chicken, a deep dive into Ian’s Horror Hole, and plenty of what we have been playing game talk. Won’t you come sit awhile and listen?
