Hey, Godzilla's On! 1:40:42

לפני 34 weeks1:40:42

Ready to get granular with your Godzilla history? Because our hosts and his guests sure are! Learn with us about the history of Godzilla on television and home media as they travel through the years of VHS, Super 8, DVD, and laserdisc, as well as their own personal memories. Couple of corrections: I said on the podcast that Godzilla vs. Megalon was released in the US post-Star Wars, and that isn't true. It was released one year earlier, in 1976. Godzilla vs Gigan (re-titled "Godzilla on Monster Island"), however, was released shortly after Star Wars in in the US in 1977, not showing up in the majority of markets until 1978. The Showa-era films had semi-regular rotation in small theaters and drive-ins until 1981! The other correction has to do with Vampira. I stated in the episode that she was a New York horror host; she was actually in Los Angeles. The music I used for the corrections comes from Kweer Kaiju on YouTube, and they have these INCREDIBLE synth covers of classic Godzilla soundtrack tunes! Please check out Justin's work on his YouTube channel, Video Game Docs! Tell Aaron to make a website! You can follow Nate on Bluesky , Instagram , and Mastodon .…

For about 30 years, video rentals were a part of everyday life for anyone who owned a TV set.

To talk about these pastimes, Nick Ryan joins the podcast to talk about the history of video rental, as well as his own experiences working at such a store and being the son of owners of a local video store chain. If you have any fun, specific memories of the old rental stores, please tell us! You can follow host Nate Lockhart on Mastodon , BlueSky , and Instagram .

Memory Machine #68 - Early Computer Kits w/ Jason Dyer 1:25:07

לפני 2 years1:25:07

1:25:07

There were home computers BEFORE the Altair 8800 and even the Kenbak-1? It's true! Even in the computer's earliest days, attempts (some successful!) were made to bring the concepts of computing to experimenters and hobbyists at home. Large, expensive analog computers could be had for the serious experimenter with cash to burn, and for those just looking to explore basic concepts, cheaper methods, some even involving paperclips and empty thread spools, could make computing come alive. In this episode, Jason Dyer returns to the podcast to discuss all of these wonderful, clever early devices and give them their due. Be sure to check out Jason's INCREDIBLE blog at Renga in Blue ! As always, you can fine Nate on Mastodon , Instagram , and Twitter . LOTS of show notes on this one, so please, check all of this out!…

Reminisce about pinball favorites such as Black Knight 2000 and Pin-Bot as Connie regales us with stories of eccentric artists, forklifts, and tamales!…

On this edition of the Memory Machine, host Nathaniel Lockhart has on prolific author, historian, and YouTube host Steve Massa to help teach us about how wide the breadth of humor truly was in the silent era.

2:27:59

The origins of baseball, America's most cherished pastime, are often seen obscured through a magical fog of legend and myth - and we're sick of it! Alex Smith (writer of They Create Worlds and host of the They Create Worlds podcast) helps Nate separate fact from fiction on this whirlwind tour of the early history of baseball. Did baseball really come from a British game called rounders? When did they decide on three strikes and four balls? And is there a lazier team name than the "Portland Portlanders"? Find your seat in the grandstand, hunker down with your favorite boiled meat snack, and enjoy this sporting episode of the Memory Machine! Buy Alex's book here ! It's great! And be sure to check out the accompanying podcast They Create Worlds . It's also great! You can find host Nate Lockhart on Twitter at @Nate_Lockhart and on Instagram @nathaniel.lockhart .
