    511 American Made Atari
    Jul 12 2026

    The gaming industry continues to change, and this week on The Fandom Nexus Retro Show we're discussing three stories that have gamers talking.

    First, we share our thoughts on Sony's vision for an increasingly digital future and what that could mean for collectors and physical media.

    Then we discuss the recent Xbox layoffs and the impact they may have on developers, studios, and the future of gaming.

    Finally, we take a trip back to where it all began as we celebrate Atari, one of the pioneers of home gaming. From Adventure and Combat to Asteroids, Missile Command, and Frogger, we look back at the games that introduced millions of players to the hobby we still love today.

    Whether you're excited about the future or nostalgic for the classics, there's something for every gamer in this episode!

    Stay nerdy, my friends.

    510 Thank You, Tinkerbell!
    Jun 22 2026

    This week on The Fandom Nexus, we pay tribute to the late great Margaret Kerry whom Disney fans know as the model for Tinkerbell and other fans might recognize from The Andy Griffith Show.

    I’ll share my interview with her and audio from her presentation at Kansas City Comic Con from years past.

    508 Was Mandalorian and Grogu All That Baaaaad?
    Jun 2 2026

    This week on The Fandom Nexus Retro Show, I’ll share my thoughts on two movies I’ve seen in theaters recently, “The Sheep Detectives” and “The Mandalorian and Grogu.”

    The rage baiters were out in force, but were they right about this movie?

    Episode 506 of The Fandom Nexus Retro Show takes a trip down the Yellow Brick Road to revisit one of the most beloved films of all time: The Wizard of Oz.Released in 1939, the film wasn’t an immediate blockbuster, but it found its true audience through decades of television broadcasts that turned it into a shared cultural experience for generations.In this episode, we explore the film’s unforgettable cast, groundbreaking use of Technicolor, behind-the-scenes challenges, and the moments that made it a timeless classic.

  • 504 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – From “Disney’s Folly” to Classic

    504 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – From “Disney’s Folly” to Classic
    Mar 15 2026

    In this episode Paul J. Powers and I journey back to 1937 to explore the film that changed animation forever: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. When Walt Disney set out to create the first full-length animated feature film, many in Hollywood believed the project would fail spectacularly. The film was even nicknamed “Disney’s Folly.”

    Instead, Snow White became one of the biggest cinematic successes of its era and laid the foundation for the Disney empire we know today.

    From the famous Hollywood premiere to the legacy of Fantasyland rides, discover why Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs remains one of the most important films in Disney history and is remembered by our generation.
