She'll take you for a ride on a wagon train to Zoombiniville

It's back to school week here at Retro Encounter, where we stay retro but mostly avoid RPGs in a discussion of classic edutainment games, from The Oregon Trail to Sim City 2000. Who among our illustrious panel dreamed of being on the Carmen Sandiego PBS show? Which educational game most deserves a Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio adaptation? Listen and learn!

Featuring: Michael Sollosi, Niki Fakhoori, Jonathan Logan, Jimmy Turner; Edited by Michael Sollosi

Argentina week kicks off with us getting raw as we discuss the Top 5 Movie steaks. Whether they're used as symbols of the choice to willingly subjugate yourself to an artificial reality like they are in THE MATRIX, the manifestation of your burgeoning animal instincts as in MADAGASCAR or even doing something really odd with them like eating them as they do in GOODFELLAS, the well-seasoned Dads have probably got you covered.
 
OPERATION FINALE is the incredible story of the capture and extraction of Adolf Eichmann from Argentina to Israel to face justice for his crimes as one of the orchestrators of the Holocaust. What begins as a spy drama with a heist type feel gradually evolves to be a character study of the man who inspired the phrase 'banality of evil', Eichmann (Ben Kingsley) and the reputationally damaged Mossad agent Peter Malkin (Oscar Isaac) whose personal experiences of the horrors perpetrated by Nazi Germany drives him on the daring mission. AMERICAN PIE director Chris Weitz was the obvious choice to tell such a thrilling story and even manages to insert a toilet scene in amongst the many powerful discussions about the differences between justice and vengeance and sequences describing the devastating personal effects of the Nazi's genocide. Such a spectacular true story probably doesn't need a pointlessly fabricated for Hollywood romantic sub-plot but we're lucky enough to get one here.
 
We finish Argentina week where else but Indonesia in Netflix's 2021 animated series CARMEN SANDIEGO. In "The Sticky Rice Caper' the super thief repels a plot by VILE who have produced a bioweapon capable of devouring massive crops of rice in hours leaving the entire population liable to starve. Simple but striking animation and with an educational element cleverly integrated into the action this was a hit with all of us and not just because Carmen herself is super-hot. Peter provides a bonus review of the 1994 cartoon because he watched the wrong episode, the sweaty sausage-fingered ninnyhammer that he is.

We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at baddadsjsy@gmail.com or on our website baddadsfilm.com.

Until next time, we remain...

One of the most important questions to ask is not just “what is God” or “who is God?” but “Where is God?” Interestingly enough, Jesus makes it clear that to answer that question we must also ask “Where am I?”

Join us as we continue walking through the Gospel of John to explore where God longs to live most.

You've seen comedian and writer Adam Conover break down important topics on his hit TV shows "Adam Ruins Everything" and "The G Word With Adam Conover," but his intellectual expertise also extends to nostalgia. On this episode of the podcast, Adam tells us about the video games he played on his graphing calculator in school, his his indie rock/funny folk music band and why he hopes no one listening to this podcast will ever hear it. We also dive deep into the educational television series Square One Television, Vanessa and Jonah reminisce about Ben Affleck's memorable role in "Voyage of the Mimi" and we trace the career traject of the vocal group Rockapella from Carmen Sandiego's house band to Folgers instant coffee fame. Finally, we play a round of YESTOLGIA OR NOSTALGIA where we debate the merits of Cinnabon-flavored cereal, the return of Taco Bell's Enchirito and the rebooted Teletubbies. If you're looking for a podcast that's entertaining as it is educational (especially when it comes to the properties of the number nine) look no further, podcast listener!

PBS, otherwise known as Public Broadcasting Service, has undoubtedly influenced the guys at Talk Stupid 2 Me.  Ok, perhaps not everyone watched "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?", but most of us have probably seen "Sesame Street" or "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood."  Let us never forget that we may never have truly known the "Joy of Painting" if it weren't for the grace of the kind folks at PBS, and viewers like you.

On this episode we review Carmen Sandiego, Round Planet, and the Ted Bundy Tapes for our Netflix Netfix of the week.  For current events we give our first impressions of the battle royale shooter, Apex Legends before discussing the possible casting of Robert Pattinson as Batman, the possible name of the upcoming Terminator film, and the cancellation of Into the Badlands on AMC.  For our main topic, we playtest a party card game that Jack of All Nerds is developing called Pitch Room, where players have to pitch wacky movies, books, video games, etc, from randomly drawn celebrities and genres.

When Gregg Gethard was in 8th grade, he was selected to be a contestant on the PBS game show, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?. He had a hunch that it was going to be a strange day, but did not know to what extent it would be life changing. This is part one of a two part episode. Part two will be released on June 7th.

The Gethard Family is Gregg Gethard, Chris Gethard, Ken Gethard and Sally Gethard. Special thanks to Greg Lee and Pinch Lee.

Rashomon is produced and hosted by Hillary Rea.

In this episode of Lasers on the Ride, the guys pontificate on Bob Barker’s particular brand of misogyny and then devise a plan to take over the game show industry. Mike shines when Jay raises Carmen Sandiego from the dead. Akil discovers that all new babies are treated like (baby) Jesus himself and then cautions against treating anyone like a monkey. The Lasers attempt to track down oft-forgotten early nineties icon Jamal from Ghost Writer, while Jay and Mike tackle the subject of hunting animals with the aid of drones and how nature can fight back (drone spirit!). Lastly a near-death Dave Brubeck leads the Lasers on a walk straight into the grave from either an elevator or just some good cookies.
