After School Special Podcast

Ah, the sweet, nostalgic memories of Showbiz Pizza Place - the arcade games, the animatronics, the questionable kid's toys, and of course, the pizza.

Bathe in nostalgia with us as we journey back to the 80s where our dads' nursed beers while we were engrossed in the arcade games. We'll also delve into those peculiar third world finger puppets that were often the talk of the playground.

Remember Ricky the Rat? We sure do! We'll talk about the evolution of the Chuck E Cheese brand and discuss the legality of the name change from Ricky the Rat to the mouse himself.

 And let's not forget the iconic arcade games like alligator whack-a-mole and Big Bertha - they kept us entertained for hours! But what about the pizza, you ask? We've got that covered too.

Join us for a spirited debate on how Chuck E Cheese pizza stacks up against other pizza offerings and get ready to laugh as we share a hilarious tale about a Domino's pizza that went through reverse osmosis.

It wasn't all fun and games though, as any child of the 80s will tell you. We'll address the darker sides of this era, discussing the implications of having a union officer perform alongside the Confederate Critters, and the eerie possibility of animatronics coming alive.

We're even brave enough to delve into that most divisive of topics: pineapple on pizza. This episode is packed full of laughter, nostalgia, and a few surprise twists, so sit back, relax, and let's take a trip down memory lane together!

We unveil our first "Latchkey Kid" of the Month award.
