We welcome our buddy Shaun (8BitGlitch79) back to the show to talk about one of the most memorable aspects of any video game, the BOSSES!!
Whether they're in charge of a single stage or are the final challenge waiting at the end, these characters are sure to make an impact. We'll tackle the more iconic "last guys" first, spotlighting iconic final bosses who come back again and again over multiple entries of a given series. Later on, we each choose 3 (possibly more obscure) battles that were really memorable to us personally.
Thrown in the middle is a musical interlude of an OCTOPONDER, where we'll play your favorite boss battle theme! Overall, this is an episode that video game fans won't want to miss!

Call this episode a palate cleanser!
As big fans of the film version of CLUE, we thought it would be fun to come up with our own movie pitches for films based on classic board games. For this very special episode of Retro Ridoctopus, our pals Jeff Holland and Scott Clevenger (from the Slumgullion podcast) stopped by to help out. We play classic commercials for each game and really got into the theme!
Our Retroids really came out in force this week to weigh in on the main theme, calling out a ton of board games they would love to see on the big screen for this week's OCTOPONDER THIS! And finally, Nintenjoe takes us home with his first ever UNCOMFORTABLE NATURE FACT!
On Twitter, be sure to follow Jeff @TheSlumgullion and Scott @Scottclevenger AND... you can and should listen to The Slumgullion anywhere you listen to our show and check out their website!

With the help of our pals, independent wrestler, Domenic Parillo & George O'Connor (from Swarm of Eyes and Homeless Comics), we embark on an epic journey. Wrestling memories are shared, discussed and celebrated, as we talk about our love for the art form. Hear about our live experiences and why we think the audience is as big a part of the sport as the wrestlers themselves.
Later, we'll answer this week's OCTOPONDER THIS and namedrop our favorite wrestlers of all time. Finally, to end the episode, 8-Bit Alchemy drops a wrestling themed installment of RETRO NOUVEAU!
Check out George's metal band SWARM OF EYES and his crazy writing skills over at HOMELESS COMICS!

This week, 8-Bit Alchemy scoops out some mashed potato-memories and choccy milk dreams as we talk about school lunches! We made sure to cover the good, the bad and the ugly, all with the help of returning guest, Randy Carter from the thrash metal band Swarm of Eyes!
We'll also read a bunch of Retroid responses to this week's OCTOPONDER THIS question: "What was your favorite drink to take to school in your lunchbox"? We also have a great voicemail from Christine (AKA Mrs. Parasite) which includes a menu item we never got in Massachusetts as well as a hard-hitting commentary on some major faults with the school lunch system in America.
Later on, Parasite Steve will drop another BOOKSHELF OF THE DAMNED on your collective lap with the brand new horror thriller "Road of Bones" by Christopher Golden!
