Subcon Serenade

This week we travel back to the arcades/pizza parlors of early nineteen-ninety something and spend way too many quarters (or tokens) rocking out to the great music of beat ‘em ups! We goof off and talk early Simpsons, our favorite totally not fake Turtles, the pointlessness of keeping score in later generation games, the sad sounds of Double Dragon Arcade, Vince’s one and only time he played the Asterix cabinet and, of course, Star Trek.
