Welcome to the Retroist Rubik the Amazing Cube Podcast. On today's show I start off by talking about the dark urges one feels when challenged to solve a puzzle they are not capable of solving. Needless to say, it is not pretty. After I unburden myself of this, I move onto the subject of the podcast. I talk about this underrated gem, which I honestly love despite its ludicrous writing and plot. During the show, I discuss the production, talent and much more. Vic Sage is back on the...

This is the one hundredth episode and we're all so excited! The only way we could be more blissed out is if someone invented the happiness pill that George Ortega mentions.

I talk about the cast, the creator, the characters, the "location" of the famous Inn, the show's reception, the final episode, its music and much much more. Newhart is an amazing show. I hope this might encourage people to check it out.

On today's show I start off talking about my time working at the video store (again) and about how video tape pausing was not restricted to "Fast Times". Then I talk about the subject of this episode, the 1985 comedy classic, "Just One of the Guys." What specifically to do I talk about you ask? Oh, not only do I reveal my love for the Care Bears Movie, I also try and pronounce Jacoby properly and talk about the crew, the cast, the plot, the soundtrack, its reception, a...

On today's show I talk all about the 1980s cult classic, Electric Dreams. This is one of my favorite movies and probably the finest example of a man/woman/computer love triangle ever filmed.

Do you like cartoons? How about video games? Well you came to the right place. This week’s Retroist Podcast is about the CBS early 1980's Saturday Morning Masterpiece “Saturday Supercade”, which hit the airwaves on September 17, 1983, and ran for two seasons. I talk about all the show segments (Frogger, Donkey Kong, Q-Bert, Donkey Kong Jr, Pitfall Harry, Space Ace and Kangaroo) and throw in some surprises for good measure.

On this episode I talk all about the eighties comedy classic, "Stripes". I start off explaining why I would watch movies dozens of times when I was younger and why it might still be important to do so. Then I get into the film. I talk about the stars of the film, the plot, the production, deleted scenes and much more. It might not seem like it, but I am very aware that I do not have the ability to pronounce Harold Ramis' name correctly. This is not the first time I have recorded...

This second episode looks at the situation among followers of Jesus at Thessalonica in Macedonia in the mid-first century. Considering the ethnic and social makeup of the earliest Christians, this episode also discusses two main problems faced by these followers of Jesus: “afflictions” and the death of fellow-followers of Jesus. This prepares the way for episode three, which will look at how Paul responds to this situation in his letter, known as 1 Thessalonians in the New Testament. This...

On today's show I talk about the 1985 arcade classic, Gauntlet. I start off talking about how this game helped me save face when I had some misgivings about seeing the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 in the theater. Then I talk about the development of the game and its predecessor, Dandy. I also delve into the game's strategy, game play, reception, sequels, ports and much more. My sincere apologies to Thyra the Valkyrie whose name I repeatedly fail to mention.
