Eat dirt! This retro classic platformer about a worm in a super suit was a breath of fresh air in the gaming world. With its Saturday morning cartoon style, irreverent humour and varied gameplay, it was an oddity that still stands up today. Take a listen as we discuss how it came together, the controversy of its creator and a level-by-level breakdown.

GAMING: Earthworm Jim (1994)

Join childhood buddies Sam and Dan as they head left off the highway for a chat through movies, music and games on the fringes of modern culture. Sam LeGassick (The IT Crowd, MTV, Disney) and Dan Gallagher (Dreadful Discs, CELLS, Pelican Daughters) have been friends for over 30 years. They share a mutual appreciation for what lies out on the edges of the mainstream. Join them on their journey as they uncover the good, the bad and the intentionally ugly, and rip it all apart. Each episode features a different subject and don't worry if you don't know anything about it, that's part of the fun. We will make sure we fill you in before we delve into the nitty gritty. Just sit back and enjoy the oddities.

Announcement

Hospital emergency room Dr. Daniel "Dan" Challis (Tom Atkins) and Ellie Grimbridge (Stacey Nelkin), the daughter of a murder victim, uncover a terrible plot by small-town mask maker Conal Cochran (Dan O'Herlihy), a madman who's planning a Halloween mass murder utilizing an ancient Celtic ritual. The ritual involves a boulder stolen from Stonehenge, the use of Silver Shamrock masks and a triggering device contained in a television commercial -- all designed to kill millions of children.
We loved Halloween so much, we're jumping straight into number 3. 'The one without Michael Myers' as it's more widely known (when technically he is actually in it), this was received poorly by critics but found a cult audience - why? Let's find out.

MOVIES: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

On a cold Halloween night in 1963, six year old Michael Myers brutally murdered his 17-year-old sister, Judith. He was sentenced and locked away for 15 years.

He returns to his quiet hometown of Haddonfield, Illinois, where he looks for his next victims.
Happy Halloween everyone! Stay odd!

MOVIES: Halloween (1978)

Hotline Miami is a high-octane action game overflowing with raw brutality, hard-boiled gunplay and skull crushing close combat. Set in an alternative 1989 Miami, you will assume the role of a mysterious antihero on a murderous rampage against the shady underworld at the behest of voices on your answering machine. Soon you'll find yourself struggling to get a grip of what is going on and why you are prone to these acts of violence.
