Episode 39: Nerd Police, I Need Backup.

This week, dear listeners, we are joined by Rob Callahan and Chris Bowlsby for an episode about game movies! Movies about video games, movies about board games, movies that feature games heavily… all are fodder for this episode! Or, rather, we intended to cover such a broad swath, but we somehow managed to never really escape the 1980s. We blame the scattershot nature of this episode on Cupcake Vineyards Red Velvet, Trader Joe’s Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, and Yellowtail Malbec, all of which contributed the steady decline in our focus and moral fortitude. Once again, we apologize for the sound quality of the episode. We discovered many weeks later that, among other issues, our audio program wasn’t actually recording through our nice microphone; instead, it was recording through the computer’s built-in microphone. There are about three more episodes in our backlog with the same issue. (Argh.) But after that, our audio should improve remarkably! (Yay!) Show notes behind the cut! Movies mentioned: Wargames TRON TRON: Legacy The Mind’s Eye series Cloak & Dagger Gotcha! One Two Three The Thing The Last Starfighter Newton’s Apple (TV) Mazes and Monsters THAC0 Dungeons & Dragons Clue The Wizard Super Mario Bros People mentioned: Matthew Broderick Jeff Bridges Henry Thomas Dabney Coleman Anthony Edwards Linda Fiorentino Robert Preston Lance Guest Ira Flatow Tom Hanks Bill Stiteler Jeremy Irons Thora Birch Tim Curry Madeline Kahn Fred Savage John Leguizamo Gina Torres Joss Whedon The post Episode 39: Nerd Police, I Need Backup. appeared first on Xanadu Cinema Pleasure Dome.
