Dispatch Ajax! Podcast

Nearly 3 years ago we began the project of restarting our podcast after a 12-year hiatus.  We were a bit rusty at first, we had some crappy audio and it took a while to get back into our groove. But, to commemorate the event we thought we'd present all you loyal Dispatchers with our first episode... with slightly improved audio! You're welcome. Embark on a high-velocity tour through the...

Continuing our Video Game series, we'll unpack the tumultuous tale of Atari, through the eyes of Howard Scott Warshaw, whose boundless ambition led to the mythic E.T. video game fiasco. But before you think it's all doom and gloom, we'll lighten the mood with a whimsical wander into the off-kilter art of taxidermy. It's a wild ride that promises both insights and belly laughs,...

One of the great Video Game Urban Legends, Polybius, is the tale of a mysterious arcade cabinet from the 1990's that supposedly caused illness, violence and even madness. The crazy thing is...a lot of it is true. Join us as we debunk or...uhhh...bunk this insane American Legend.

Arguably the coolest and one of the most iconic crossover events is RoboCop vs Terminator! It was a relatively obscure series by Dark Horse Comics but managed to spawn multiple incarnations, toys, video games, and now a podcast episode for you to enjoy.

To prove we cover allll of Geek Culture, we are doing a whole series on video games! This episode we tackle a crazy story on the game 'Night Trap'. The lame game that sparked the downfall of companies, Congressional hearings and changed the course of video games forever. 

'Back to the Future 2' takes place in 2015.  'Blade Runner' happens in 2019... Sci-Fi has always tried to forecast the not-so-distant future.  This is the first episode of our breakdown of what came to pass and which did NOT

As part of an ongoing series of shorter episodes we tackle strange crossovers in media. A phenomenon that was extremely rare when we were young, the Crossover is now a genre trope - for good and for bad. In this series we're going to cover really odd examples and really cool ones, (spoiler: they're usually bad). 

In the second in the series we talk about further tales of Jesus from around the world. This time we explore the apocryphal legends surrounding his journey onto the Indian sub-continent.   That's right! For the Christmas season we talk about Jesus in India!

In this installment of our Holiday series we begin exploring the adventures of Jesus in other cultures' traditions. Outside of Christian lore Jesus Christ had some crazy adventures that should be recognized. This one goes into the long-standing tradition of Jesus in Japan!

Our in-depth journey into the holiday classic, 'A Christmas Story'!  You likely love or hate it nowadays, but the franchise is much crazier than you can possibly imagine. It's not just the one film...it's an entire Cinematic Universe, spanning multiple decades and starring multiple actors. Take a deep dive into this fascinating cultural phenomenon with us and have your life cha...

This year is indeed the 30th Anniversary of the iconic 90's cult-fav turned mega-hit, the X-files. In this - the first episode of Season 2 - we count down the most important episodes to watch to get the optimal Mulder/Scully experience!

In our final Halloween installment we will review the shameless commercial-as-movie...Spirit Halloween...The Movie! It stars Christopher Lloyd and Racheal Leigh Cook, and does them both dirty. Come slum it with us for this schlock-fest!

One of the most unsung and underrated genres in all of Comic Books is easily Horror. A topic as old as the medium itself and one that kept Comics alive for many a year. Enjoy this introduction into the whole thing whilst in the middle of Halloween Spooky Season!

Here's a preview from Season 2 where we discuss the franchise, (originally titled "Scary Movie"), Wes Craven's 'SCREAM'! We watched all 6 big screen installments and tackle the series for the first time in its entirety! 

Season 2 is coming soon and we're going to hit the ground running. Here's a short clip from an upcoming episode, just a little taste of what to expect!

We have another installment of our side project "Memory Gamma", which is a True Crime chronicle of Star Trek villains and periphery analysis! This addition is all about androids! You love 'em, we love 'em, they yearn to be Human.  

Sorry to pull that alarm, but it's true. We've had some crazy stuff happen to us recently and that's why we haven't been able to post much. But we're getting back into the saddle and we're riding this train to Valhalla!

In this episode we discuss things like 'Who is the fastest Flash', comic book store etiquette and other common, geeky questions people often have. Don't worry, we will give you real answers to such classic queries. 

You may know about the Mothman, but have you heard of Indrid Cold? A mysterious entity that will forever be tied with Mothman Lore, Cold haunted West Virginia and one frumpy Apalachian salesman in the 1960s. 

That's right! As part of our strange books and tomes series we tackle the one, the only Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ! This is the only book we're going to cover in this episode so you can focus all your attention on this Mostly Harmless classic. 

You've probably seen Dolph Lundgren in something. Whether it's "Rocky IV", "Aquaman", or "Masters of the Universe", he's been doing his thing for a long time. And he's the best at it. Ever. This episode will give you an introduction to Dolph, and it will surprise you. It's his world, we're just living in it. 

That's right, we watched The Flash so you don't have to! Here's our review of one of the dying DCEU's final installments for your listening pleasure. May it rest in peace.

 As the outlook for the powers of the Alpha and Beta quadrants grew increasingly grim, the Romulan Empire turned to drafting soldiers from their dirty little secret: The people of Romii, known to the rest of the galaxy as Remus. The Remen were at worst 2nd class citizens of the Empire and at worst slave labor, their population subjugated when then violent Vulcan pilgrims settled on a twin planet i...
