This week, Boss Rush Mode finds the courage to cross the rainbow bridge to pay tribute to one of the greatest heavy metal singers of all time, Ronnie James Dio! Starting with his early work with Ronnie and the Red Caps, we discuss his time with bands like Elf, Rainbow, the legendary BLACK SABBATH and on to his expansive solo career. Ronnie James had a remarkable career spanning more than half a century!

Later on, we'll ask you to STAND UP AND SHOUT your favorite all time song to feature Dio on vocals. And 8Bit Alchemy will present a very dragonish edition of UNCOMFORTABLE NATURE FACTS!

Kids of the 80s and 90s will remember the experience of walking into an arcade with a sense of awe and wonder! What new machines had arrived since your last visit? And of those, which was going to grab you attention first? For this episode, we spotlight arcade games that stood out by daring to look different, even bizarre! Let's see which ones you remember!

And later on, we'll ask for your favorite childhood arcade spot before Boss Rush Mode cross checks the mic for another episode of his hockey segment THE PUCK STOPS HERE!

Break out the Ecto-Cooler because this week's episode is a sprawling discussion on the only spirit-hunting team that still waits by the phone... the Ghostbusters! 8-bit Alchemy leads us down dusty library rows as we breakdown this beloved film series and well as the cartoon and even the 2009 video game which (like the films) was written by Ramis and Aykroyd! So strap in, power up and try not to get slimed!

Later on, Parasite Steve shines the spotlight on a remake of a classic SNES beat em up, NINJA SAVIORS: RETURN OF THE WARRIORS for another edition of Retro Nouveau!

It's hard to argue that Symphony of the Night is one of the Castlevania series' most beloved entries. Currently, the game is playable (along with it's predecessor, Rondo of Blood) in the Castlevania Requiem collection. For this bonus episode, Parasite Steve snags the mic to discuss his recent playthrough of a game he first fell in love with 23 years earlier!

This week, we decided to dust off some memories on fast food toys. Whether it was McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's or even Pizza Hut, almost every chain was in the business of drawing in younger customers with the allure of individually packaged plastic fun they could get nowhere else! This discussion runs long so buckle in, take some blood pressure medication and let's see how many of these toys you remember!

After the main discussion, we'll ask for your favorite temporary fast food item, before Nintenjoe closes us out with another installment of POWER TO THE METAL!
