August 11, 2022Nope, Castle Kong, & Bluetooth Turntable
We watch a documentary series where athletes challenge themselves in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth, check out an app that can help you and your closest friends earn money at the pump, and a gift from a Fourth Listener launches one of us into a console gaming adventure!
“NOPE” SPOILER ALERT!!! In this episode, we talk openly about the plot points of the film, “Nope.” To avoid spoilers, skip from the start of that discussion to approximately the 27-minute mark in your audio player.

August 08, 2022Mini Arcade Machine Collecting & Investing (SFGE 2022 Panel)
We had the great opportunity this year to host a panel at the Southern Fried Gaming Expo on Mini Arcade Machine Commerce. We love the fact that they are creating varying versions of the arcade cabinets we all loved growing up as GenX’ers, but are they worth it? How good are they? Are they possible investment opportunities or just nice shelf candy? We talk about all of those questions and a lot more during this presentation!

July 21, 2022Films of Rob Reiner
Most of us were introduced to Rob Reiner through his portrayal of Archie Bunker’s son-in-law, Meathead in All in the Family. But that was just the beginning of a long and successful career as not just an actor, but more importantly, the director of some landmark GenX-era films. In this episode, we’re highlighting filmmaker, Rob Reiner, and remembering a few of our favorite films from his career.

July 07, 2022Free-Play Arcades
The video game arcade we knew as kids is sadly gone, but in the last decade, there has been a trend toward free-play arcades. For just the cost of entry, dozens if not hundreds of original arcade & pinball machines are available to play with no need for quarters. In this episode, we will explore the rise of the free-play arcade and compare that experience to the one we knew growing up as GenX’ers.
