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. 786 – Oops! Four Calls!

Oops! Four Calls! That’s it! Well, we also do a deluxe sampling of something we purchased, we painstakingly craft an Italian meal, catch up on what everyone has been up to (Tyler has returned and explains his absence in detail), we discuss some TV, some games, visit Ian’s Horror Hole, discover the Tactics League, and TAKE FOUR CALLS! So please, if you like any of that – including exactly four calls, then please sit awhile and listen!

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. 782 – Pitfighter

Pitfighter

Pitfighter. That’s right. We are tackling the legendary SNES port of the arcade game Pitfighter. More famously known as Sh*tfighter. We can’t even pretend. We can go ahead and get right ahead of this one and say this game is truly the stuff of nightmares. But how bad is it really? We have a pretty granular conversation trying parse out just how bad this game is and where is falls in the over SNES ranking. Does Street Hockey 95 retain its crown as the worst SNES game we have ever played? To find out, just sit awhile and listen!

Ep. 780 – The Rocketeer

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!

Ep. 779 – Blind Draft Day II

Blind Draft Day II is on the books! Some things came up that preventing us from being 100% ready for the Rocketeer so we did some more blind drafts! But first, Ian has a pretty epic rant about some real jerkfaces. But we do talk a bit about Loki, how predatory some loans can be, a Robin Williams movie, and a little but more. If you like a personality focused episode and enjoy the banter and with groans and cheers that come along with a blind draft – we’ve got another banger of an episode for you. If you really like the games, hey, we’ll see you next week for the Rocketeer. We love you. So please, do us a solid and stay awhile and listen! Blind Draft Day II!

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!
