PODCAST: The Retroist Podcast Episode 129
Despite clearly being the work of Satan-worshiping Liberal intellectuals who intended to corrupt the morals and values of Christian children everywhere, Dungeons & Dragons was pretty much the World of Warcraft of the 80s. Not only did the core game spawn a score of supplements, scenarios and imitators but by 1983 it was so popular that it even got its own TV show in the form of - the rather imaginatively titled - Dungeons & Dragons - which just so happens to be the focus of the latest episode of The Retroist Podcast.

PODCAST: The Retroist Podcast Episode 125
And that was the day I learned that maybe me and my Dad weren't so different after all...
If that awesome impression didn't tip you off, this week's Retroist Podcast is all about the nostalgic feel-good hit The Wonder Years. Did you know they all actually died in the end and the entire series was Kevin trying to justify his existence to a higher power? OK, maybe that's not entirely accurate but it's better than the usual claims about Marilyn bloody Manson being in it...

PODCAST: The Retroist Podcast Episode 124
It's been a while since we checked in with The Retroist Podcast (and for that we can only apologize and hope you'll accept our defense that there are only so many hours in the day to allocate to Blogging, a state further hampered by poor memory and drunkenness) but as soon as we saw the words ''The Last Starfighter'' in the title, we thought it was time to rectify that oversight. So line-up your Quarters, put on your best plaid shirt and be ready to defend The Frontier!
