The Arcade

Friends, this week on The Arcade we tell you about legendary B-movie producer Roger Corman getting back in the movie game with a new sequel to his 1970's classic Death Race. We'll also joke about Naughty Dog releasing a new trailer for Uncharted 4 that contained art from Assassin's Creed IV, release date and pricing details for the HTC Vive, how you can help bring a Jay and Silent Bob video game to life, and more! In our Blast from the Past, we'll run the gamut by going from the classic John Hughes teen movie Pretty In Pink to the early 90's anthropomorphized animal action cartoon, Biker Mice from Mars.

In our Blast From The Past segment this week is, oddly enough, The Arcade. It might sound strange, but our show turned ten years old this week, so we thought it warranted at least some discussion. To all listeners old and new, we thank you for tuning in to The Arcade! Continue reading →
