Digital Dissection: A Nerd Podcast

Joe and Mark live several hours away from each other. For years, this meant sharing conversations over the phone, discussing movies, TV, video games, and anything pop culture wanted to throw at them. That idea became a podcast, the conversations expanded to friends, celebrities, and digital creators. 100 episodes later, the Dissectors are joined by former host Chelsea Yonke, Seinfeld Soupposting creator Doug Eberle, and Mark's older brother Nate Behncke to talk THE GAMES THAT MADE US. A throwback from season 1, this topic is a combination of nostalgia, personal stories, and celebrating classic video games that impacted each dissector in a unique way. A big thank you to the panel helping us celebrate this milestone, and to everyone who has joined us along the way. Thank you to everyone who has made this 3 year journey memorable. It has been an incredible ride so far. -- Joe & Mark Music by Joystock: https://www.joystock.org Opening Track: "Modern Power-Up Electronic"Closing Track: "Future is Now"    Follow us on:Facebook: https://facebook.com/DigitalDissect1Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@digitaldissectionpodcastTwitch: https://twitch.tv/digitaldissect1Twitter: https://twitter.com/digitaldissect1Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/DigitalDissectionPodcast

While Marvel has become synonymous with higher quality superhero cinema since 2008, the years leading up to the MCU had mixed results. Some gave us typical leather clad heroes thwarting extremist villains and others had performances so memorable they would be reprised in the modern movies...THIS was not one of those films. Welcome to Season 3, Episode 97 of Digital Dissection: Pop Culture Nerdity! On this week's podcast our hosts Mark and Joe discuss Marvel's 2004 movie starring Thomas Jane, John Travolta, and Rebecca Romijn; The Punisher! A film that polarized critics and audiences alike with its casting, violence, and oddly placed humor. Where do Joe and Mark lie with this movie? What did you think about 2004's attempt at Marvel's most infamous anti-hero? Listen today's episode and let us know what you think!

Before the True Crime genre swept the world it existed as a half hour of our lives each week on the network of our choice. Before we had COPS and America's Most Wanted giving us either real footage of law enforcement in the streets or updates on the worst of society, the soothing yet chilling voice of Robert Stack came on our television. It was then followed by some of the creepiest music you've ever heard. Welcome to Season 3 Episode 95 of Digital Dissection: Pop Culture Nerdity!

In 1992 The Legend of Zelda was still a relatively young franchise with just two games under its belt. We had previously traversed the fallen kingdom of Hyrule from a birds-eye-view and then returned to a well sold but poorly received side scroller. However, as the old idiom would have it, it turned out the third time really was the charm. Welcome to Season 2 Episode 90 of Digital Dissection: A Nerd Podcast! Today, Mark and Joe give us the last retro review of season two with The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past! Lace up your Pegasus Boots and grab a lantern as we traverse the light and dark worlds of this classic 16 bit game!
