Harry and Rory are joined by comedian Dan Thomas to look at low-budget sci-fi spectacular Arcade, from the director of Captain America (not that one) and the writer of Batman v Superman (yes that one). They dig deep into Dan's first childhood viewing and how it holds up nearly 30 years later, as a group of cool '90s teens, including Seth Green, check out the hot new VR title, only to discover game over can cost you more than a couple of quarters! They discuss the magic of blue-screen technology, copyright-infringing computer graphics and whether Alan Bennett would have been a more menacing voice for a sentient evil video game. But will Arcade convince them to kiss reality goodbye?
This podcast contains SPOILERS for Arcade (1993).
Please note - there are some slight audio issues with the recording, though it's all perfectly listenable!
