Hair Of The Dogcast

Happy Birthday to our ol' pal the Nintendo 64! Can you believe it's been 20 years since Nintendo's silicon graphic powered bad-boy was released in Japan? We sure can't. I mean, they grow up so fast, don't they? On this episode, the Dogcast gents crack open some brewskies and reminisce about their times with Nintendo's system and all the awesome (and not-so-awesome) games they grew up with. Oh, and they also talk a little Pokemon Go and wonder if they'll ever drink the Pikachu Kool-Aid and join in on the craze. Now...where's the cake?!

So you're looking for a Ghostbuster review. Who ya gonna call?! The Dogcast boys, that's who! We just saw the new Ghostbusters movie and we immediately sat down (with a beer, of course) and discussed our thoughts and opinions of the new movie. Did we love it? Hate it? "Meh" it? Did Josh's Ghostbuster tattoos tingle with excitement? And just how does it stack up with the original movies? All of these questions (and many, many more) are answered here! If you're worried about spoilers, we got ya covered! We start with an absolutely no-spoiler assessment of the movie and then we move into full-spoiler mode for those of you who ain't afraid of no spoilers/ghosts. And we'd love to hear your opinions!

Whew! What a week! Join your friendly neighborhood Dogs--Josh and Tom--as they run down the highlights and unleash their thoughts regarding the biggest annual event in the world of video games: The Electronic Entertainment Expo (a.k.a E3, a.k.a "Video Game Christmas"). We talk Microsoft! We talk Sony! We kinda sorta talk Nintendo? Oh, and how could we not talk about Steve Balmer trampstamps? For this week's topic of the show, with both Sony and Xbox reportedly coming out with new console upgrades to the PS4 and Xbox One, we discuss whether traditional video game console generations are coming to an end. Is it all doom and gloom? Or would it be a good thing? BUT WAIT!! THERE'S MORE!! Listen NOW and we'll also throw in: Horrible impressions! Even more horrible singing! And Rapping! Well, I THINK we try rapping (which was pretty bad, but surprisingly not AS horrible as the impressions or singing). And it wouldn't be the Dogcast without the beer--and we must say we drank some pretty awesome ones: 1) Pollux Sour W

Cowabunga dudes! For our Turtle-y Awesome third episode, we cut the evil Shredder (and Michael Bay) zero slack with our first-ever movie review! Join us as we discuss Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows on the Big Screen and why Quentin Tarantino may or may not need to take over the franchise. Along with the Turtles movie, we give our thoughts on the new TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan game from Platinum Games. What can we say? We like turtles. We also give our take on that hot little Sony PS4 exclusive nugget: Uncharted 4! We totally finished it. Do we think it's the best one yet? We even keep things pretty much spoiler-free! Topic of the Show: Rage Quitting, Part 1. Grrrr. Most everyone's played a game or two that has caused blood vessels to pop and controllers to fly across the room in a fit of rage. We talk about some of our (and our friend's) most memorable rage quits. We want to hear your best/most crazy rage quitting experience!
