Read transcriptIf you've ever dreamed of piloting a transforming jet while sorting through a love triangle and dodging alien laser fire, then without knowing it you've been living in the Robotech: The Macross Saga timeline. Chris dusts off his Game Boy Advance for this one, only to find that the same intergalactic mess has crash-landed again, this time in crisp Switch resolution. Because nothing says “future of gaming” like revisiting a handheld title from an era when batteries were a personality trait. Helping navigate this space-time crossover is DC Dave from The Monitor Tapes, swooping in with the kind of insight only a seasoned comic podcaster can offer. Together, they dissect what happens when '80s anime melodrama meets early 2000s portable gaming. And spoiler alert: there are missiles, misunderstood heroes, and at least one existential crisis per level. And yes, they both have Opinions™ about which version of Rick Hunter handles better. So grab your nearest mecha (or whatever piece of furniture doubles as one), set your thrusters to “nostalgia,” and dive into a world where pixelated warfare meets the stirring strains of synth-pop destiny. Whether you're a die-hard Robotech purist, a Switch newcomer, or just here for DC Dave's hot takes, this episode's got something for every flavor of space soap enthusiast. Learn such things as: What does it takes to make a side-scrolling shooter feel like an interstellar soap opera? How did licensing rights in the '80s created a cosmic headache that still echoes today? When you have giant fighting robots, do you really need to add all of the war allegory? And so much more! You can find DC Dave on BlueSky @dcdavepodcast, and of course under his podcast The Monitor Tapes on BlueSky @themonitortapes.

Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #16 (1991)We've got some Batman back in our lives as we jump into the “Venom” storyline that ran in issues of BATMAN: LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT in 1991. Venom, of course, being the drug that Bane uses t get swoll and also some guy who Spider-Man knows.Lots to unpack here as Bruce ask for permission to save a drowning girl in the sewer. It goes tragically fubar and Bats is convinced he needs more gains. It is just his luck that the dead girl's apathetic father (like, REALLY apathetic) is in the designer drug business. Also, Batman does a belly flop, Alfred retires and cheese blintzes.Promo from IS IT JAWS?
