Refresh My Memory

Did you know that every time you erase a file, you delete adorable digital people???

Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van talk about how this horrific revelation makes them feel, as well as their memories of the 1982 Disney classic Tron.

WARNING: There will be Bruce Boxleitner anecdotes.

Video games spawned from the film will also be discussed.

The gang also created a custom cocktail for the movie: The Wreckognizer AKA The Flynn and Tronic!

Here’s how to make it:

(The producer’s wife said that it reminded her of a Negroni, a drinks she dislikes, but it was worse. Also, it tasted like a basketball.)

Looking for the perfect holiday gift? How about hosts Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van telling you their memories of 1984’s Gremlins? Make sure you don’t get the podcast wet, because you’re probably listening on an electronic device and that’s really bad for it. Also don’t drink the beverages they made up and drive. No really, especially if you’re a teenager:

Also don’t eat this cereal after midnight. Or before midnight. Because it was discontinued decades ago:

They also create two tribute drinks based on the Joe Dante classic. Here’s how to make them:

THE GIZMO

(Review from producer’s wife : Nice.)

THE BLENDED GREMLIN

(Review from producer’s wife : Bleh!)

If you make The Gizmo or The Blended Gremlin, or come up with one of your own, please send a picture to [email protected] by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you.

It’s 1995, do you know where your Jane Austen based teen comedy is? Hosts Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van cast their memories back to a time when Paul Rudd looked pretty much the same. Will things work out for the future Ant-Man and Batgirl?

There will also be snacks, there will also be drinks. One of which that the gang creates is…
