Retro Smashed Video Game Podcast

Retro Smashed Video Game Podcast

Some friends hang out, drink a few beers, insult each other a little bit, and eventually talk about retro video games! Play along with our game of the week where we test our knowledge of useless pop culture trivia. We go over some background info about the video game of the week as well as some of our memories of it. We then finish the show with some Happy Time shout-outs to anniversaries of video game releases and other historical pop culture landmarks.

What's the blandest of bland?  Not quite immaculate, but also still easy to swallow?  How about a mediocre game?  We bring in a friend of the show, Luke, to help us bracket the most medium ranked games out of 40.


Ricky talks about a new game he's been playing, Luke retells some drinking stories, and Andy forgets how to use a doorknob.

Let's all go to the lobby and grab ourselves a snack!  June starts off movie month where we start with movie video game adaptations.  Between talking about our memories (and some lost memories) of some video game movies, we also talk about the time Ricky saved Andy's dad's life, the time some murderers showed up on a collector's card, and the time Ricky lost $100.

Weldy's mom joins us for a special "slightly off a week" Mother's Day episode.  She always joins him to play Streets of Rage on his Mother's Day stream, so we figured we'd do a Streets of Rage episode with her!  She doesn't stay for the whole episode, but she stays long enough to hear some McDonald's stories, as well as telling us some baby Weldy stories.

Cranky here.  These podcasts are always a bunch of guys talking nonsense, thinking they're funny?  They're no Skidda and Kaboing in the Mornings.  Back in my day we didn't have fancy podcast descriptions.  We had to hope the radio played our favorite song, and get the tape deck ready to record.  We always missed the first few notes, then caught a bit of the announcer talking about the weather or traffic right after t...

The boys are back for a second helping of a shit sandwich.  Maybe this one will go better than the last one???

Weldy forgets who the 3 Stooges are, the book of Joshua gets the Crippler Crossfade, and we go over the top 20 songs of 1988.

Weldy puts a list together of 25 videogame developers so Ricky and Andy try to blindly put it in an order that makes little to no sense.  Ricky talks about his time as a President, Weldy wants to play an Oregon Trail set in the world of D&D, and Andy vents about work again.

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
