🦃 It’s 1983, and we’re spending Thanksgiving in July at the Saturday Supercade. 

🎙️ Chad Young, Tommy Coombs, and Jayme Kilsby join us as we take a cue from Q*bert and pals and try to stay on topic as they learn how to build a Q home in a Q land in a retelling of the first Thanksgiving as square as the wheels on the Q*horse and buggy Pilgrim Q*bert wants to win.

💬 Topics & Tangents: 

We all tried to remember who brought up the Q*bert special last year while talking about “A Thanksgiving Tale,” and we were all wrong. 

Even “Kangaroo” got a “Saturday Supercade” segment eventually. 

Peter Cullen was the first voice of Mario in the “Donkey Kong” segment. 

“The Kingdom Chums: Little David’s Adventure,” an animated retelling of David and Goliath featuring Billy Bowles (Q*bert) as a stuffed lion come to life. 

Pauline and her return in “Super Mario Odyssey.” 

We accidentally introduce Chad to “Spookley, the Square Pumpkin.” 

They gave the snakes arms! 

Viper has a Mae West voice, which leads into a tangent about “Quasi at the Quackadero.” 

Chief Q*Eagle reminded me of Randall Cunningham’s name in Tecmo Super Bowl. 

Saturday Supercade’s extensive use of the Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library. 

Home Movies: “Don’t Put Marbles in Your Nose.” 

Mike guests on TPIF: Thank Pod It’s Funny to discuss the Perfect Strangers Thanksgiving episode, “Wild Turkey.”
