Back In The Day Show

It’s been a while since the last podcast, but now we’re back in action to bring you the first show of 2009. We’re also bringing a fourth crew member on board. Good to have you with us, Chad. Now stop reading this and get back to work! On the show this week, we explore the theme of “chicks in space” as it relates to the 80s. The 1986 movie, Aliens, is up for discussion first. Ripley’s horrible luck, Bill Paxton’s off-the-wall performance, and old-school special effects are just some of the subjects mentioned. Next up is a retrospective of the 1987 NES classic, Metroid, as we recount the first time we entered the “Justin Bailey” code and beheld Samus Aran in all her feminine glory. We then share the results of last show’s poll question and pose a new one (don’t forget to vote). Lastly, and for no other reason than we just felt like it, we remember that old 30-minute animated commercial for Nintendo that passed for entertainment when we were kids: Captain N the Game Master. Rest in peace, Mr. Stubbs. You were one sassy Mother Brain.
