64. GI Joe Apr 14, 2020

Show notes

Kevin takes the reins for a look back at the 80's cartoon classic G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, a show which to some people's surprise (Chris) does not feature an individual character named Joe! There's a bunch of them apparently, and they're ready to face off against the nefarious warlord and subliminal messaging expert Cobra Commander.

63. Final Fantasy VII (Part Two) Apr 03, 2020

Show notes

Kevin and Chris return for part two of their deluxe Final Fantasy 7 retrospective, with the shiny new PS4 remake right around the corner. Will Cloud unify the fractured corners of his mind? Will Sephiroth be stopped? And will we ever truly comprehend the infinite mystery of Pandora's Box?

62. Final Fantasy VII (Part One) Mar 30, 2020

Show notes

With perhaps the most hotly anticipated video game remake ever about to drop, Chris decided it was time for Kevin to finally take a journey he never had before: Final Fantasy 7, the iconic 1997 RPG that enchanted, thrilled, and devastated millions of gamers. Cloud, Tifa, Aeris, Sephiroth, all of them! The whole gang's here. And this one's a deluxe two-parter.

61. Darby O'Gill and the Little People Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

Three-time returning guest Miranda joins Kevin and Chris for a look back at a film all three of them saw as wee ones ― Darby O'Gill and the Little People, a tale of leprechauns, drunken revelry, warmly lit Irish whimsy, generous pension programs, and a young Sean Connery brawling with a guy named Pony. Just watch out for the death coach.

60. Double Dare Mar 02, 2020

Show notes

On your marks, get set, go! It's time for Double Dare, the classic Nickelodeon game show that made Marc Summers a household name. Join Chris and Kevin as they revisit a trio of episodes: Swatches vs. Headrooms (1986), Out of the Blue vs. The Vulcans (1988), and an episode of Family Double Dare, The Whitehouse Crew vs. Gross Gladiators (1990).

59. Return to Oz Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

Kevin and Chris are joined by Hollywood Crime Scene's Rachel Fisher for a deep dive into 1985's surprisingly macabre Return to Oz, starring the strikingly haunted-looking Fairuza Balk as Dorothy Gale. From electroshock therapy, to a clockwork soldier, to a jack-o-lantern with mommy issues, to a head-thieving witch, you're not in Judy Garland's Oz anymore. Ray Bolger ain't walking through that door. Also, they replaced Toto with a sassy southern chicken.

58. Sonic The Hedgehog (Saturday Morning Cartoon) Feb 05, 2020

Show notes

Kevin and Chris are joined by returning guest Sean Hurlburt, mere days before the release of the brand new Sonic The Hedgehog movie, to revisit the 1993 Saturday morning animated series starring the lil' blue speedster himself. Fair warning: you probably can't run as fast as Sonic, even after he's absolutely gorged himself sick on chili dogs.

57. Logan's Run Jan 23, 2020

Show notes

Do you ever feel like your clock is running out? You intrepid hosts have surely never felt this way. But this time, Kevin is revisiting a childhood favorite that is decidedly preoccupied with mortality ― Logan's Run, starring Michael York, the doctor from Darkman who explains the Rangeveritz Technique, and a guy who looks like a young Christopher Hitchens (albeit surprisingly, much less attractive)!

56. Super Baseball 2020 Jan 08, 2020

Show notes

Don't look now, but this stately little podcast has now spanned two decades! To celebrate, Kevin and Chris ring in the new year by looking back at the SNES version of Super Baseball 2020, a video game which serves up an uncompromising, tech-infused vision of America's national pastime. And yes, there are baseball-playing robots!

55. The Smurfs Christmas Special Dec 22, 2019

Show notes

Our final episode of the year is filled with Smurfy holiday cheer, as Kevin foists the Smurfs Christmas Special on Chris. The godless little Smurfs don't celebrate Christmas themselves, but they do battle Satan so they're maybe not quite as pagan as they seem.
