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 Oct...

It's that time again, Retroids! Time to stick the proverbial fork in another season of the Retro Ridoctopus cephalo-podast. Season 3 certainly had it's ups and downs, but we came out the other side stronger than ever! For this episode, we reminisce about the episodes that challenged us, the topics we were nervous to tackle and the guests we still can't believe agreed to come on. Later, we do our a...

Clash At Demonhead is a combination of words that either means something to you... or it makes you wonder if we've been eating paint chips. Either way, 8-Bit Alchemy and Parasite Steve had a great time recording this episode of the Crow's Nest! Give it a shot! ---------------------------------------- Retro Ridoctopus is: • Parasite Steve ( read ) • 8-Bit Alchemy ( listen ) • Nintenjoe ( subscribe...

The indie 50s-sci-fi-style-parody-masterpiece "THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA" isn't just the SHOCK SENSATION OF OUR TIME... the thing also just turned 20 years young! Writer/director/actor/playwright/artist Larry Blamire has made movies, written books, battled mutants, fingered rocks, even matched wits with a narcissistic skeleton!! But none of that is going to help him tonight, because f...

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...

Joining us for this episode are two fantastic guests who both happen to be huge John Carpenter fans! Christine (AKA Mrs. Parasite) makes her podcast debut to talk about THEY LIVE, while comic book artist Derek Rook (from Rough House Publishing ) returns to gush about HALLOWEEN and lots more! Stick around for a some killer facts you might not know and a guaranteed good time! -----------------------...

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...

A longish, but briskly paced chat about all seven Dark Tower books (by little known author Stephen King). Parasite Steve embarks on this epic journey with fellow King fan and Rock Jock, Rick Johnson of Portland Maine's 107.5 FRANK FM! Note for those who have not read The Dark Tower series: Some spoilers are discussed, but we gloss over a lot and purposely avoid giving away plenty of the good stuff...

In a follow up discussion about holographs and holograms, we sit down for a chat with the talented artist behind Laserboy Holo, Travis Paquin! We cover many things, including how a hologram is made, what Polaroid had to do with the medium's prevalence in the 80s and why Travis chooses to make his own holographic film! There's also some stuff about sci-fi movies thrown in for that retro flavor! Sto...

In the late 1980s, holograms were considered to be wondrous things of high futurism--a blend of art and science, of 3 dimensional magic and lasers. In short, they were really cool and absolutely freaking everywhere. In this episode, we try our best to explain a little about what holography is and how holograms are made. Then we'll spotlight four retro toy lines which incorporated the technology......

We received so many theme show requests for our Themes from a Memory 3, we couldn't fit them all in one episode! So here's the rest plus a few more handpicked by ya boy, Nintenjoe!

The man, the myth, our wayward third host... NINTENJOE is finally back! The term Nintendo Hard has been used to describe video games that are especially challenging (Dark Souls for one). For this momentous episode, we'll spotlight some seriously hard video games on the original Nintendo.
