April 06, 2022 Donkey Kong Country (1994): Retro Review
Embroiled in console wars, Nintendo faced mounting pressure from the Sega Genesis and Sony Playstation. Its current generation of gaming technology, the Super Nintendo, was showing its age and with the Nintendo 64 several years away needed a solution.

Enter Donkey Kong Country, the first of several major hits by UK-based Rare that redefined what Super Nintendo hardware was capable of.

Join Joe and Mark as they return to 1994 to expand on the landscape of gaming, how Donkey Kong pulled off its tech, and how they think the rebooted Donkey Kong universe stands up almost 30 years later.

April 01, 2022 Ruth Marie Terry: The Lady of the Dunes (Pop Culture Legends)
UPDATE: 11/1/22, Ruth Marie Terry has been discovered to be the Lady of the Dunes after 48 years. Through genealogy, the FBI was able to identify Terry, and utilized DNA analysis, family trees, and historical data. Hopefully, this leads to additional information to identify her killer.

ORIGINAL: In the summer of 1974 a film was being made that would make a country afraid to go into the water, and shortly after a gruesome murder would shake a scenic coastal city for decades.

Welcome Pop Culture Legends, A Digital Dissection Miniseries! Today's story is about the Lady of the Dunes, an unidentified woman who was murdered but a clue to who she is may be found in the horror classic "Jaws."

March 23, 2022 Making A Murderer (2015)
Wisconsin is already politically known as a "Purple" state, where often political feelings are mixed and election season always brings upheaval.

The same can be said for Wisconsin when Making a Murderer premiered in 2015, splitting the state in half to determine if Steven Avery was wrongly incarcerated for the murder of Theresa Halbach. The Netflix series would captivate the world as millions would weigh in on their opinions of the documentary -- spawning petitions, and asking for Presidential Pardons for Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey.

Join Joe and Mark as they look back to Season 1 of Making a Murderer, combining analysis of the show as well as their theories as to what actually happened.
