Summary
We're opening the vault again, which we've started using as a means to feature stuff other than what we normally do on the show. This time, we're doing video games! Again. Nintendo video games! Again. It's the Nintendo 64, in all it's janky and dated glory. This is part 1 of an eventual trilogy of episodes on the console, to be completed at some point in the future! Next week's movie: Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008) You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST! Available in podcast form on all your favorite podcatchers!
