It's time to break out the double A's because this week, we are powering up some classic handheld video games and toys. They may not be sophisticated, but you could pick most up for short dough back in the day and all were 100% guaranteed to improve long car rides.

At least that was the theory.

We cover the Merlin by Parker Brothers, some table top arcade action by Coleco and who didn't own a few of those Tiger LCD games?? The episode even veers into toy territory with the legendary Speak and Spell and the not so legendary Etch-A-Sketch Animator 2000!!

Shigeru Miyamoto has created some of the most beloved video game characters of all time. We talk about his early work with Donkey Kong and a certain plumber called Jumpman, all the way past The Legend of Zelda and into the future with Star Fox! Happy birthday, Mr. Miyamoto and thanks for all the mushrooms!

Later on, we'll ask this week's Octo-Ponder This question before Boss Rush Mode Pets some Peeves about the Lovecraftian Hellscape that was 2020.

Star Wars fans are a divided bunch but there are a few things we can all agree on. Empire is better than Clones, whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword never wielded a lightsaber and however you feel about the prequels, the Star Wars Holiday Special is undeniably the worst Star Wars thing EVER. Most of the Octo-Hosts had seen it before but for the sake of this episode, we sat through the thing again. That's right. 2 hours of unintelligible howling, humor that doesn't land, cringe worthy appearances from your favorite characters and most of all... PAIN.

Later on, 8-Bit Alchemy asks this week's Octoponder THIS question and Parasite Steve spotlights "How Much Do You Tip An Exorcist" for another edition of BOOKSHELF OF THE DAMNED.

Order your copy of "How Much Do You Tip an Exorcist?" by Patrick Rahall!
