Jumping Flash - Raving Robbits (ft. B Ross) Apr 06, 2025

Show notes

Who would've guessed a 1995 video game about a robot space rabbit would foretell the battle against the Boomers hoarding resources at the expense of everyone else? Uh, we mean... man, that crazy Baron Aloha sure is an outlandish villain not at all grounded in reality!

Top 5 Respectable Reboots | The Flight Mar 16, 2025

Show notes

With how commonplace remakes and "re-imaginings" are in popular media these days, you wouldn't be blamed for immediately rolling your eyes at the news of a decades-old video game getting the reboot treatment. Fortunately, some of these efforts turned out to be surprisingly good.

Final Fight: Mayor Haggar, Piledriver of Crime (ft. Phil Morgan) Mar 09, 2025

Show notes

We're not necessarily saying it's prophetic or anything, but when popular media gives us the likes of pro-wrestler-turned-mayor Mike Haggar, pro-wrestler-turned-governor Jesse Ventura, and pro-wrestler-turned-president Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho we just kinda feel like maybe it's saying something. Does our special guest, Phil of the Deleted Saves Podcast, agree with our wrestling-to-politics pipeline theory? Find out!
