The premier of season 4 is all about BALLS. Specifically, the chrome kind that you slap around a table. We are talking, of course, about PINBALL!

Back in November 2021, we had an absolutely AMAZING time attending PINTASTIC NEW ENGLAND, where we each got to try out dozens of pinball games! Some were great, others were not, but the experience definitely awoke a newfound love of the genre in your Octo-Hosts. And for this episode, we each picked 4 games that stuck out to us the most to spotlight for ya!

Smack dab in the middle of our picks, you'll also get some of our Retroids' favorite tables as well. And finally, Parasite Steve will take us home with the first Retro Nouveau of the season.

S3E16 - Ep 066: Party of One / Criminally Underrated Cartoons (with Tino the San Man)

With the help of our buddy Santino, we each raise the flag of a retro cartoon we dug because no one else will!

Octo-Host, 8-Bit Alchemy continues the theme he started way back in EPISODE 3 with the return of PARTY OF ONE! That episode was all about spotlighting unpopular movies that we happened to love as kids, but this time it's all about cartoons! With the help of our longtime pal, musician and future clothing mogul Santino Mancebo (AKA Tino the San Man), we spend the episode finding the positive in some very under-celebrated animated shows including Star Wars Ewoks, Mortal Kombat Defenders of the Realm, Stunt Dawgs and Mummies Alive!

Later on, Parasite Steve slides into you bookcase with the Bram Stoker award winning novel of 1996, Crota by Owl Goingback. Best of all, he has a couple of anecdotes from the author himself, which were sent especially for the podcast!

S3E14 - Ep 064: The Nintendo 64 / Dealing with Mental Health

For our 64th episiode, we present our favorite N64 games before veering into a spontaneous but heartfelt sidebar on mental health and how it has affected one of our own.

The runtime on this one is a bit long, so buckle up!

For our 64th episode, we HAD to talk about the much loved third major Nintendo console, the N64! Your Octo-hosts present some favorite games for the system like Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, as well as a bunch of weird ones you might have missed!

Later on, we enter a sidebar about how Nintenjoe is dealing with his struggles with mental health. This part was totally unplanned but completely honest and heartfelt. It didn't fit the main discussion but we all felt it absolutely had to be left right where it was.

We also read your answers to this week's Octoponder This question before ending things with 8-Bit Alchemy's b-segment. This week, he takes a turn presenting a new game that plays like an old game for his first ever Retro Nouveau!
