Don't watch it, play it! In the late 1970s, Atari ushered in the gaming era! But throughout their history, the company had more turbulence than a game of Combat. This week we revisit their history and which games were the most influential on us. Live Pong and prosper!   What do Atari and Chuck E Cheese have to do with each other? What was the first standup Atari game, and why did it look like it belonged in The Sleeper house? These questions and more are answered as we look at the history of Atari.    News Stranger Things season 4 is coming, but we will see an end to the series after season 5 Berkeley Breathed's Bloom County comic strip will be coming to Fox for an animated series Make sure to check out Shua on the Saturday Matinee Podcast this week What we're Enjoying Jay revisited a 1955 Spencer Tracy mystery movie called Bad Day at Black Rock. This intriguing tale of a one-armed stranger appearing in a small town with a secret is sure to give you a retro story to talk about. Shua has been trying to view all the best picture Oscar nominees before the broadcast of the awards on March 27.    Enjoy Games! In 1971, Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney adapted a computer game called Spacewar, created in 1962 by Steve Russell. The new game, called Computer Space, may not have been the gigantic success that the men had hoped for, but it laid the groundwork for their new business, dubbed Atari.    Computer Space led to Pong, which found it's way across the country with eight to ten thousand machines sprinkled throughout bars and restaurants.    Bushnell then took over the country and used their success to grow the company quickly (yet, with questionable business practices). One of his successes was the home console, which started appearing on shelves in the late 70s.    Plus, Bushnell expanded his business ideas by purchasing Pizza Time Theater and began putting his arcade cabinets in Chuck E Cheeses across the country. It was a crazy idea that worked for quite a while.   Bushnell, now just Chairman of the Board after selling Atari to Warner Communications for $28 million, hired an interesting (and not very well liked) character named Steve Jobs. Jobs had some innovative ideas, but had some of them developed by his friend Steve Wozniak in some pretty underhanded scenarios.    By the 1980s Atari had become the fastest-growing company in the history of our country. But the writing was on the wall; the video game industry, and especially Atari, was getting ready for a crash. In 1983, shortly after their disastrous release of the failed ET video game, Atari was posting huge losses and other companies quickly filled the void in the market.    Jay and Shua have some good memories of Atari games though, both at home and in arcades. And collectors still try to acquire a wide variety of their creations. Despite their shortcomings, Atari helped to create classics and inspire future generations in programming, designing, artwork, technology, and more! Did you have an Atari? What were some games that stood out to you? Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to podcast@enjoystuff.com

When Granddad is talking about The Teacher and says “I heard he was a Gulf War” vet, that is a reference to Bob Ross' (who The Teacher is based on) service during Vietnam (which is a little known fact). The reference that Uncle Ruckus makes to the “comics with the talking penguin” is a reference to “Bloom County” and the featured penguin character, “Opus” by Berkeley Breathed, whom Aaron McGruder is a big fan of. The final line that Granddad says “This ain't Beat Street” is a reference to the movie Beat Street (1984), an American drama dance film featuring New York City hip hop culture of the early 80s, breakdancing, DJing, and graffiti. Riley's painting of a “fallen soldier” is of Ol' Dirty Bastard. Show Music: Intro:  #Makeachange by K.I.R.K. is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License.

Berkeley Breathed is perhaps best known for his comic strips "Bloom County," "Outland," and "Opus." But he's also a gifted children's book creator. I first met him in 2003, upon publication of his book "Flawed Dogs." We tal;;kerd again in 2007 after he published "Mars Needs Moms," which later became a Disney animated film. It's about a 9-year-old boy named Milo who comes to appreciate everything about his mom, after she's abducted by Martians.

If it's Friday, it's a current events episode, and if it's current events, we're probably talking about Donald Trump. We begin, however, with the second installment of a hopefully infrequent segment about stuff Andrew gets wrong.  In this case, it's actually two things.  First, Andrew clarifies the terminology related to immunity, and second, Andrew admits to falling for a hoax (!) In our main segment, we look at James Comey's testimony before the Senate regarding his firing.  How far up Yodel Mountain does this take us?  Listen and find out! After that, fan favorite Breakin' Down the Law returns with an analysis of what's going on with the Trump Administration's appeal of Executive Order 13780, the so-called "Muslim Ban," which we last discussed in Episode #51. Finally, we end with a brand new (and tricky) Thomas Takes the Bar Exam question #27 about the admissibility of a question on cross-examination regarding the availability of insurance proceeds.  Remember that TTTBE issues a new question every Friday, followed by the answer on next Tuesday's show.  Don't forget to play along by following our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and/or our Facebook Page and quoting the Tweet or Facebook Post that announces this episode along with your guess and reason(s)! Recent Appearances: Andrew was a recent guest on Episode #84 of the Cellar Door Skeptics podcast; give it a listen. Show Notes & Links We first discussed obstruction of justice in Episode #70, and analyzed the status of Executive Order 13780 in Episode #51. Snopes debunked the Berkeley Breathed letter here. The relevant obstruction statutes are 18 U.S.C § 1501 et seq. The two cases Andrew found that involve valid prosecutions for obstruction of justice where the defendant used the "I hope" construction in threatening a witness are U.S. v. Bedoy, 827 F.3d 495 (5th Cir. 2016) and U.S. v. McDonald, 521 F.3d 975 (8th Cir. 2008). This is the text of Executive Order 13780.

Today is a very special day at Mousterpiece Cinema HQ, because it's finally happened. After months of searching, after hours of discussion, we have found a film that Mike doesn't love. In fact, this is a film that Mike had an easier time nitpicking. Yes, that's right, folks, Mike can nitpick, too! In this epic episode, Josh and Mike get right into the nitty-gritty of what is currently the biggest box-office flop in film history: Mars Needs Moms, a motion-capture animated movie based on the Berkeley Breathed book of the same name. Is the movie as bad as you might think? Do cats like broccoli? Did Mike dislike a movie more than Josh for once? Could it be possible? Check out the new show to find out!
