This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch take a break from their usual programming to pay tribute to a very special man who played a key role in their childhood as a strange and eccentric man-child with a house full of friends and puppets. Once he married a fruit salad. We miss Paul Reubens already and we wanted to talk about him this week. RIP Paul.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch take a deep dive way back when to the past of PC gaming in the early 90s where the graphics weren't good enough for grand envisions of massive video game wars, the processing power was better than any home console and no one knew what to do so they made FMV games.

This week Chump Slap and Poppascotch need to fill some airtime due to scheduling conflicts, so they decided that watching the 2005 film Doom would be a fun exercise and I think the guys are left with more questions than answers. What did they think about a Doom film where the signature gun never hits a person and now there's an alien chromosome that adds super powers to people who inject it? I guess that's in Doom now? Anyways, they talk about The Rock vehicle Doom!
