Media Made's April Fools Day tradition continues with our first foray into video games!
Going all the way back to the year 1980, Rod & Jess examine two landmark video game titles and determine which one most deserves your quarters. First, they throw to Nintendo's earliest venture into handheld gaming, the Game & Watch, and that system's first game Ball. Then, they bite into one of arcade gaming's biggest success stories, Namco's Pac-Man, and the media empire that followed. History, technology, and 80's cringe await you in this very special episode!

New year, new show! We're back to our regularly scheduled programming and ready to talk about our movies of 2002! For the first (and likely only) time on Media Made, Rod & Jess tackle two movies built around romance. First, they examine that star-crossed love story of Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, and all the horrible implications therein. Then, they take a trip to New York to discuss the Jennifer Lopez romcom Main in Manhattan, with all its Cinderella sensibilities.
