A Podcast about growing with a twin brother up In the 70s and 80s, at the dawn of video games, navigating family strife, punk rock, Star Wars obsessions, and
trying to understand the world while developing an inexplicable
love for everything “Atari”.
--
In this podcast we discuss Atari computers and systems, new and old, review new games we collect, talk about all the systems, and the significance they had in our lives and the lives of others, and even talk about them in an historical context with the backdrop the times they were released, and how they are being used now.
We do all this in an effort to finally understand the answer to this existential question: what does it mean to have grown up in the generation of "the Vertical blank."

In this piece we play the long versions of our two songs, mixed with a segment from our movie "The Best *#@! Christmas Ever: An Atari 8-bit Journey Into The Vertical Blank" To lay out just what The Vertical blank means to us and why we use it as the metaphor for the retro gaming hobby.
