Skype is deceased, but we don't let that get us down! We've got plenty of taste tests to drown our sorrows. Doug and Charlie recount an instance where they saw each other in REAL SPACE. We kick off our "2000 from the 2000's" playlist.

Paul and Tony went on a cruise and are still recovering from the excessive food, karaoke and impromptu prank war. How are two boys at sea supposed to manage when their hangovers don't line up? Paul is almost lost to Honduras. Tony buys a magnet.

We regret to inform the listener that we are no longer a "SeaQuest DSV" podcast; we are now a retro gaming podcast. We also regret that only some of us are playing retro games at the moment. Adam regrets not going into debt to obtain an old gaming console. Charlie is warned about the heavy metal content of some chips but eats them anyway.

We have an unexpected guest who isn't pulling any punches. Charlie eats some Easter candy and then ruins it for everyone's amusement. Doug puts tax cheats on notice. Plus, what's in store for James Bond?

The 17th installment of our Sci-Fi Shuffle has us discussing the 2023 animated film "Nimona". We try to imagine what this movie would have been like if it had stayed in the cowardly hands of Disney. Why doesn't anyone fully utilize their flying cars, and how does eveyone know what a whale is? Also, some less pedantic discussion about LGBTQ themes and representation. Paul wishes the Jumbo-tron had just a mouth on it.

Special guests appear and are EXTREMELY ENTHUSIASTIC about being on the show. In fact, both have new lines of fight sticks to promote, with multiple face plate designs and button configurations! Taste tests are interspersed. We all are hired by SNL by default.

Amber Elby and Dan Hess are back on the 16th edition of our Sci-Fi Shuffle to talk about the 2008 film "V for Vendetta", along with the usual cast of characters. Of course, we have to start the discussion arguing whether this even QUALIFIES as sci-fi. The movie makes us all feel bad, despite the sweet-ass kills. But don't let that stop you from watching it - just temporarily deny the existence of all events outside the story itself and you'll be fine!

Charlie laments his lack of knot knowledge. We taste test a puzzling new Doritos flavor. We round out the episode out by recounting our pandemic cabin fever purchases and mourning Charlie's nemesis (David Lynch).

We've got more holidays to discuss than you might expect, although this makes Kevin uncomfortable. Adam is combative with Charlie and his Christmas haul. We discover a new category of candy (log). We fail at our New Year's resolutions immediately.

It's the end of 2024, so of course we talk about a holiday that was over a month ago. Doug and Adam do some taste tests and we all ponder what spoiled Code Red would taste like. Adam talks about the advantages and disadvantages of mascot life.
