Incoming Game: A ReBoot ReWatch

ReBoot co-creator Gavin Blair chats with us once again, as we discuss seasons 3 & 4, and answer your listener questions!

Ben & Jess tackle the first episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion (as requested by Nolan Hayes), discuss the male-gaziness of it all, and debate how gravity works in an upside-down city.

We watched an episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender for our backers. Listener Rob Horrocks tasked us with reviewing "Zuko Alone" (Season 2, Episode 7), in which a boy gets a bad case of pinkeye, and finds himself surrounded by some incredibly virile pigs.

Patreon backer Cameron Ohara tasked us with reviewing the first two episodes of The Vision of Escaflowne, a 90's anime that NEITHER of us had seen. There's a lot to unpack here, you guys.

Jessica & Ben riff on the awkward gameplay and try to make sense of the cobbled-together cut scenes in this bonus episode, previously just for our Patreon backers!

We've reached the end... wait, that's the END?! Ben and Jess try their hand at a rewrite, then look back at the series as a whole. Thanks to everyone for listening!

Wedding bells are ringing! The big day is finally here, and a groom has been chosen. Cecil and Bob are bonding, Matrix has his guns out, and GlitchBob... well, he's flatlined. It's an episode with brand-new organ-bending capabilities!

This week, Dot is still plagued by the question of "Which Bob is best?", as Little Enzo talks in a strANge SPEech patTERN, and Andraia tries to put Bob out of his misery. It's an episode that really could have used some more Goldblum.

This week, Dot can't choose between New Bob or Bob Classic, Bob gets a faceful of Enzo, and Matrix is just saiyan... This episode isn't shooting blanks!

It's the final countdown, as Daemon visits Mainframe for a showdown with Hex, while Dot hopes to lose the kid for a few years. Jess & Ben ask the hard-hitting questions, "Wait, Matrix has healing powers now?" and "Who left all the green screen in?"

This week, Hex shows some affection, Turbo fights his infection, and Mouse does an inspection. Meanwhile, Ben & Jess wonder how all this can possibly be resolved in just one episode.

Have you heard The Word? Mike leads us in a worship service, as Daemon touches some eggs, Dot draws some fanart, and Bob goes all Marty McFly. It's the episode that doesn't believe your crackpot ideas!

We're down to the final season, and Bob has amnesia as his old roommate tries to reconnect. This is the episode that makes everyone randy, baby!

Director Zeke Norton (Icons, The Edge of Beyond) joins us for a behind-the-scenes discussion of his time at Mainframe, as he looks back with fond memories of late nights, stealth missions, and maybe the occasional shouting match.

There's nothing left to do this time / but watch as Mainframe falls apart There's no more foes to fight but there's / a musical about to start Look on in horror, then in joy / Have faith in your computer friend There's just one season left to do / so stick around until the end!

BOSS RUSH! It's ReMatch Central, as Enzo fights a literal demon from his past, Mouse gets thirsty, and Bob finds a 5MB harem. Meanwhile, Jess tries to stump Ben with a trivia game, and you can play along!

An epic battle rages as past debts are paid. Hex has a mole removed, Bob stays for tea, and Dot has a think. Oh, and Matrix fights Megabyte or something.

Andraia sits this one out, Megabyte interrupts lunch, and Mouse uses casual tongue. Meanwhile, Ben and Jess compare the state of Megaframe with Dot's visions of what it would look like.

This week, Enzo considers putting Bob in a home, and has to make awkward small talk in the doorway. Jessica picks up Ben's naming habits, and Ben knows all the words.

In this episode, Capacitor gets his pupils dilated, Matrix donates some blood, and Bob gets a face tattoo, while Andraia takes the week off to recharge. Ben and Jessica debate the impact of the final scene, and discuss the merits of recommendations with caveats.

We're joined by special guest Jessica's cat, as AndrAIa touches some balls, and Ray gets ribbed (for her pleasure) while Matrix watches. What are we even doing anymore?

In this episode, we reunite with old crewmates, and meet a new inmate who says "G'day, mate!" Plus: Why is Enzo so aggro? And: Isn't a sawed-off shotgun still functional?

This week, listener Cameron Ohara (@CameronOharaLuv) joins us as we discuss Westerns and ReBoot: The Ride!

It's Freaky Friday in Mainframe... or it it?  Tom Dickinson of Doctor Who - The Moment joins us as AndrAIa gets into cosplay, and Enzo fights with Mirror Enzo, while Hack & Slash assume the position.

We reach peak Trek in this one, as Matrix finds a Bobbelgänger, AndrAIa records passive-aggressive log entries, and Frisket follows his nose to the worst possible novelty cigar.

It's ReBoot - All Growed Up edition! Enzo and AndrAIa have been Quantum Leaping and end up in the Zack Snyder DC version of Mainframe. And just how many little Enzos has Matrix been a negligent father to?

This week, things get loose as Woody Battaglia joins us for an episode that deals with loss of all kinds, including lives, games, and eyes.

This week, we get shaken AND stirred as encounter shrinkage and other things we did Not-See coming. Enzo's feeling pretty low, and Mouse is feeling pretty relaxed. Meanwhile, Jess is confused by exploding toilets, and Ben can't keep his mustachioed villains straight.

WARNING: INCOMING GUEST! Friend of the show Alan White (@lawthreeper) joins us to talk Looney Tunes and naughty bits, as we recoil in horror, and spend far too much time discussing binome anatomy.

In which we encounter some groovy ghoulies, while Dot deals with a wardrobe malfunction, and Enzo shoots his eye out. An extra long episode this week, as we discuss the myriad changes and upgrades to the show!

Our Patreon-exclusive Season 2 wrap-up with ReBoot co-creator Gavin Blair is now available for everyone to hear!   Make sure not to miss out on future bonus episodes by backing us at http://www.patreon.com/incominggame 

It's all over! End Program! Enzo gets drafted, Mouse is a bathroom-talker, and Dot's got a big... gun.  It's an episode that somehow slipped past ALL the censors when they weren't looking.

Conspiracies abound! When Dot gets sacked, Bob partners up with Phong's new hires, and Mouse gets Zapp Brannigan on the line. It's an episode that raises all kinds of questions, such as: How many times is Ben going to say "poopy"?

This week, a villainous threesome causes trouble for Mainframe. Meanwhile, Mouse gets catty, Dot gets sidelined, and Slash gets punchy.

In this episode, Hex gets Null-ified, Hack & Slash are under-caffeinated, and Phong is a very specific doomsday prepper, while Andraia gets an axe to grind. Meanwhile, Ben and Jessica puzzle over the logistics of punching Nulls.

In which Bob reveals a fish fetish, while Enzo does some catfishing of his own. And with all the Star Trek references in this one, not one is for The Voyage Home? 

Hexadecimal is back, and feeling artsy! Enzo goes full Max Headroom, Phong goes full Eraserhead, and Mike goes full Psycho-therapist. Things get dark and disturbing, but also super educational for this one.

This is the one we've been waiting for! In this one, Bob "Drives Angry", I mean, he's "Fast & Furious", no - wait... It's "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" all over this week's episode.

2 games, 1 cube!  When games are slowin', and leeches are suckin', Bob  pushes a tree, Hack & Slash push a button, and MegaByte pushes Bob. Meanwhile, Ben & Jessica argue about doors.

In this episode, The Bug With No Name starts attacking Mainframe. Bob steals a tie, Dot wants a ride, and MegaByte gets a booty-call, while Enzo does some Bat-Breaking & Bat-Entering.  Meanwhile, Jessica goes deep on Western lore, and Ben dives into thirst traps.

We're back at it again with Season 2! In this episode, MegaByte hides inside a jar, Phong calls a fax line, and Bob and Dot give some helpful exposition re: danger. Plus, Jessica takes a deep dive into computer hardware of the 90's!

ReBoot co-creator Gavin Blair took time to chat with us about Season 1, its origins and evolution from inception to air, and took us behind the scenes on the making of the series!

Just a quick update on the scheduling of the next few episodes. Don't panic! We'll be back next week with our Gavin Blair interview, before hopping into Season 2.  If waiting isn't your strong suit, then consider supporting our Patreon, and get episodes up to a week early!

It's Part 2 of the season finale! Hope you like clowns! Dot gets Incepted, Enzo gets peach fuzz, and Phong gets everywhere, while Ben and Jess look back at the season as a whole.

It's our first two-parter! In this one, MegaByte needs a Snickers, Dot goes full Zuckerberg, and Bob masquerades as a guy in shades. Content Warning: Ben recorded from inside a kazoo (apologies for that) and Jess confuses Brits and Aussies.

The episode that ends up raising more questions than it answers, such as: Why does Enzo sound younger as he gets older?  Why is Dot trying to seduce her brother?  Have we misunderstood MegaByte this whole time?  Is this episode even canon?  Try and spot all the Kirks with us as we unravel Talent Night.

In which Phong plays Doctor, and everyone gets to hold the idiot ball. It's a 7-layer dip of references, AND the first appearance of Mouse! 

A longer episode this week, but that's because we have our very first guest! Lucas Sullivan (@majicwalrus) joins us to talk D&D and ReBoot. Bob loses a tooth, Dot's a work of art, and Mike gets multiple murder threats. Meanwhile, we try to puzzle out the banana.

We're going 8-bit for this one. Enzo gets smart but Mainframe gets dumb. Dot gets a new hat, and Bob goes Gump. Meanwhile, Ben and Jessica turn the tables on each other.

Pirates arrive at Mainframe, and Bob's the booty! Dot and Enzo mount a rescue with the help of Thurston Howell and the power of... accounting? We get serious and answer our first listener question, and pick apart every hidden reference. You might not download a car, but you can download this episode!

This one's just all dog farts, all the time. Sorry everyone. Nothing else happens here. Meanwhile, Jessica and Ben imagine what Bob and Dot might have been up to.
