This week the boys take a trip to their local arcade. Between hotdogs and hijinks, they chat about wedgies, van hot tubs, Nintendo neck, and guess my fart. Let’s play some – TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO GAMES!

At the insistence of unapologetic 007 nerd, Frank, we watched Pierce Brosnan's debut as James Bond, 1995's Goldeneye and welcomed our first-ever guests... Laura Sieling-Gaylord and Danny Gaylord, co-hosts of the podcast Film is Lit! 

Totally awesome video games! That's what Joysticks promises. Eugene, McDorfus and King Vidiot are running interference while we chew up the scenery of this 1983 T&A buffet. 

This movie has everything you do AND don't want you in your early 80s celluloid war chest. Scott McGinnis and Corrine Bohrer round out the casting staples of any great, but forgettable 80s flick. Joe Don Baker must have been blackmailed to be in this movie. Come to think of it, he was blackmailed IN this movie as well. Art imitating life...imitating art? 

Who knows. I'm as lost as that senile wizard wandering around the Gauntlet landscape with this summary anyway. 

PAC-MAN, Galaga, Defender, Asteroids, Zaxxon, Tempest, Two Tigers, Dragon's Lair, Pole Position, Track & Field, Star Castle, Centipede, Dig Dug, Tron, Missile Command, Donkey Kong, Robotron, Frogger, Burger Time, Rampage, 1942, Berzerk, Q*Bert, Joust, Rolling Thunder, Contra, Double Dragon.....that's enough characters for a great summary, right?

Today I discuss my love for Don Siegel's Charley Varrick and Walter Matthau as a 70's action star.

Returning guests Kurt Schiller and Chris Woodward join us to discuss James Bond's first foray into a post-Cold War world, 'GoldenEye' featuring two notable "firsts": Pierce Brosnan's debut as the international super spy and the first Bond film helmed by director Martin Campbell (who would return to update Bond again for a post-9/11 audience with 'Casino Royale').

We discuss the troubled history of the series' 17th entry that saw the exit of previous two-time Bond Timothy Dalton, how Pierce Brosnan's take on the iconic character appeals to the 90s fetishization of the business class, and why the film's embrace of a post-Soviet setting- refreshingly- doesn't feel quite like a victory lap.

Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish. 

Grunge up your unwashed hair and please put out that endless chain of cigarettes as we succumb to the 90s slacker vortex that is Reality Bites. Do Winona Ryder and Ethan Hawke’s characters actually deserve each other because they both suck so much? And should we feel bad for Ben Stiller or relieved that he totally dodged a bullet there? Could we just watch Steve Zahn be adorable and Janeane Garofalo in her perfect vintage outfits instead? And can we directly blame all the shitty behavior and toxic relationships during our 20s on this movie? We’ll let you know as soon as we stop listening to Lisa Loeb on loop.

In the twenty-ninth episode of Season 6 (Heists, Cons, & Grifters) Kyle is joined by actor Galen Howard and musician Ben Childs to discuss the cat and mouse advanced chess match of survivalism that defines the thrilling and absolute fun of the influential and underrated Don Siegel film Charley Varrick (1973).

For the second part of our Bond Double Bill, Rob has chosen his first cinematic 007 experience.  He's gone all Brosnan with 1995's GOLDENEYE.  Will it be onatopp of his list of Bond films, or is it a has-Bean?  And if you think those jokes are painful, just you wait!
