Geeksquatch Podcast

This week we cover a forgotten fighting game series from HudsonSoft: Bloody Roar. We welcome reluctant Bloody Roar expert Scott (aka @SCXCR) as we discuss why a game about people  who can turn into giant humanoid animals is way cooler than it sounds. Also the story is bonkers.

The Godfather of the Ninja Pancake Network, Remy Ransom, joins us again to

talk about a movie that at first glance should be good, but is instead a

dumpster fire. We try to make sense of this disaster from one of the most

prolific directors in TV and film history, Richard Donner. Also, a surprise

special guest joins us mid-episode!

This week Colin joins us again (and Brandon takes a week off) while the

guys talk about the pivotal and commercially successful metal album of the

90's: Metallica's Black Album. We talk about production, Bob Rock, why this

album probably ruined Metallica, and our favorite tracks. Not in that

order.

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals! Our Yule time episode has arrived! This year we're covering a 90's classic that sent bandits, burglars, and bums scrambling away from every toe headed Caucasian male child for fear they might get a paint bucket to the dome. That's right we're slapping our cheeks and screaming about Home Alone!4

We spend a lot of time talking about the large, in both stature and accomplishment, man who laid the foundation for the game that would put id Software on the map: Silas Warner. His life was fascinating even though he wasn't as successful as he probably should have been. We also discuss about how crazy John Carmack was/is and how Wolfenstein 3D sold extremely well for being a shareware release.

Alex also yells about Nazis for a minute, of course.

The end of SchwartzGiving is upon us as we discuss the Arnie as action spy and final James Cameron team-up: True Lies. We talk about Bill Paxton, Tom Arnold, and how surprisingly into Jamie Lee Curtis at least one member of the crew is. It might get awkward.

SchwartzGiving continues as we talk about one of the few sequels that far surpasses it's predecessor: Terminator 2: Judgment Day. We really tried to examine how this movie would feel watching for the first time and gush over all of the great iconic scenes as well as contemplate how time travel works. That last part doesn't work so well.

Remy Ransom joins us this week and we force him to read the terrible U.S. version of the "plot" of the Konami NES classic: Contra! I bet you just started saying Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left Right, B, A, Start in your head. If not you just read it so we still gotcha in the end.
