Atari's Star Wars the Arcade Game was released 40 years ago and quickly became one of the most popular arcade games of all time. With groundbreaking innovations and real Star Wars sounds, it's still fun to play. Jay and Shua try their best to use the Force on Enjoy Stuff!   Join us in the arcade as we look back on the iconic stand-up (and sit-down) game Star Wars the Arcade Game.   News Get ready for the release of a new Atari 2600 that will play your old games too! Star Wars - Dark Forces is getting a remastered release for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch It's time for your Halloween and fall cereals and merchandise including It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown cereal, Rice Krispies, and more The trailer for Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon has gotten some people excited, but is it a little too derivative?   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying On a recent vacation trip, Jay checked out a legendary Candy store in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania called Mr Ed's Elephant Museum & Candy Emporium. It's a fun store with a nice nostalgic feeling. Plus, Mr. Ed's is to elephants what Rancho Obi-Wan is to Star Wars. A gigantic collection of crazy pachyderms. Shua enjoyed the pride he felt when dropped off his youngest to her new college in Rhode Island. With some stops in Boston and other scenic places along the way, his emotions were bubbling over, so let's keep him distracted. Enjoy Video Games!  Riding the hype of the newly released Return of the Jedi, Atari released a new game that used a variety of techniques to display the graphics. Using the mathematical based vector graphic method, they sacrificed the solid shapes of a raster game, with the sharper, faster electron beam method.    It included 3 levels that would get increasingly difficult. A Tie Fighter battle, flying along the surface shooting towers, and a run down the Death Star trench challenged the player and put you right in the center of the movie action. A stand-up and a sit-down “cockpit” version were available, making fans even more excited to feel like they were a part of the story.    Plus, it was the first game to use digitized voices and music (and they were straight from the movie!) And the developers hid (rebelliously) a bunch of Easter eggs including their own names. A simple game with line graphics and yet we are still excited to play it.    Did you get to play the arcade version of Star Wars? How many levels can you clear? First person that emails me with the subject line, “R2, try to increase the power!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

In anticiption of The Incredibles 2, Shawn Eastridge and John Mills (Aggressive Negotiations, Great Shot Kid) go back to Brad Bird's feature debut The Iron Giant.

It's the 20th anniversary of James Cameron's tour de force romance-on-the-high-seas-gone-wrong Titanic, a film so big it made people briefly think James Cameron wasn't crazy (he is). I'm joined by Mike from Commentary Track Stars and Great Shot Kid and Mehul from the Internet! They love this movie, which more than makes up for the fact I think it's flabby and stilted until shit gets real and a little movie star named Ice Berg shows up. We compare it to Cameron's other movies, other water and ship movies, other romances movies, Stanley Kubrick movies, and Back to the Future. We praise the acting, the set design, the concept of limitations, and heroes of the actual, for-real tragedy that Cameron tacked an Aladdin-style street-rat-and-the-princess romance onto. We complain about the acting, the early CGI, the ham-handed dialog, and the nudity (Mike & Mehul; not me, I assure you).
