Interactive New Years Eve Power Hour Countdown (with 2024 predictions)

Interactive New Years Eve Power Hour Countdown (with 2024 predictions)

Author: Andrew Bascom and Mikey Ehrenworth December 31, 2023 Duration: 1:12:24

Happy New Year, D-Pads!

This week we decided to release a very special episode a bit earlier than our typical Tuesday release.

If you're looking for something to do this New Year's Eve, we've got your covered! Join us as we take part in a 60 minute "Power Hour" where we drink a shot of beer every minute while trying to recap 2023, and give predictions as to what is in store for us in 2024.

We talk games, movies, TV, and even get a little bit personal.

The 60 minute countdown starts at 7:45!

However you decide to enjoy your New Year celebration, we hope it's an absolute blast.

Just a heads up that this means we will NOT have a new episode posted this Tuesday. THIS IS that episode. Don't be greedy.

Thanks for being the best group of listeners we ever could have asked for!

Remember those games you spent hours on as a kid, the ones that felt like perfect worlds? The Retrograde: A Video Game Podcast is a weekly conversation between hosts Andrew Bascom and Mikey Ehrenworth that digs into exactly that feeling. They don't just offer a simple review; instead, they revisit the titles that defined a generation-both the celebrated classics and the notorious flops-to ask a tougher question. With the clarity of adulthood, do these childhood favorites actually hold up? The discussion naturally blends personal nostalgia with a critical eye, often wandering into related pop culture from film and TV, all delivered with a casual, comedic tone. Listening to this podcast feels like hanging out with friends who share your specific, deep-cut gaming memories, debating whether that legendary 10/10 score was ever truly earned or if it's time for a more honest reassessment. It's less about definitive rankings and more about the fun and sometimes painful process of looking back.
