May 09, 2019Avengers Endgame, Mortal Kombat 11, & Ossii Sound Glasses
Like everyone else, we hash out Avengers Endgame, but even we know there is so much more to life! Jon talks about the shows that have been renewed (or had better be), George gets mad at Jon for not watching Cobra Kai, and Mo talks about a (relatively) new superhero TV show that’s a little offbeat!

May 02, 2019Ads in Old Comic Books
How would you like to see through walls? How about becoming the big man on the beach in only a few weeks? Still no? Well how about growing your very own sea colony? All of these sounded pretty cool and reasonable to a young comic book reader and they promised a lot. Come take a trip with us to look back on some of the strange, bizarre, and downright impossible things that were promised in old comic book advertisements.

April 18, 2019Memorable TV Events
One of the defining experiences of growing up a GenX’er was appointment TV. When breaking news hit, you watched it live as the newscasters struggled to get the facts. When important shows came on, you planned your time so you can watch it when it came on, and when major events occurred, you were glued to the set because you didn’t want to miss anything. Unfortunately, a lot of the important things we remember most are not the happiest memories but they will remain with us for the rest of our lives.

April 04, 2019Going to the Movies
The movie-going experience growing up GenX couldn’t be more different than the experience today. Waiting on long lines for hours, racing to get the good seats, only being able to get a soda, popcorn, and candy, and mostly relying on word of mouth and a few reviews to help you select what to see were the norm. In this Backtrack, we have a ton of fun talking about that experience, how the movies themselves have changed, and how they compare to today!

March 21, 2019Pizza Arcades
Video arcades did not suddenly spring up overnight. They started small, with a machine or two scattered here and there in pizza parlors, convenience stores, and gas stations. They grew into the full arcades and ultimately moved on to create places like Chuck E.Cheese’s and ShowBiz Pizza. In this episode, we talk about our experiences growing up and seeing this happen firsthand and how they are still evolving and around today!
