Analog Spectrum
Analog Spectrum – Doug and Tony - are two Gen X 50-something guys who have managed to stay friends for around thirty years. They enjoy analyzing and debating entertainment, (pop) culture, and the general concepts of society through their unique, often retrospective, lens. They may know some things, but they don’t know a lot. They are doing this strictly for fun. Take that as a warning that you probably shouldn’t expect much; however, if we’re super fortunate, they might be able to bridge the gap between the analog years and our current digital days while providing an interesting perspective on several fascinating and noteworthy topics that clearly don’t matter all that much. email us at analogspectrum@gmail.com -- Twitter: @analogspectrum -- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AnalogSpectrumDT

In this week's episode, Drew joins our Dynamic duo as they dive headfirst into the captivating vistas of open-world gaming. From the thrilling landscapes of Horizon: Zero Dawn to the highly anticipated Hogwarts Legacy and the futuristic realm of Cyberpunk 2077, no virtual stone is left unturned. But wait, there's more! Our intrepid trio tackles the burning questions: Are open-world games becoming too vast for their own good? Why do some games hit the shelves before they're truly ready? And brace yourself for some sizzling hot takes on the love-hate relationship with gaming giants like Blizzard, EA, and Activision. Plus, Rockstar Games has mastered the art of patience when it comes to releasing a masterpiece. Why can't other game developers do the same? So grab your favorite beverage, kick back, and enjoy another episode from Analog Spectrum, where the classic era meets digital chaos in the most entertaining way possible.

Plus, they digress quite a bit, but what did you expect? As always, it’s a fun and sarcastic conversation between two 50-something friends and, this time, one kickass son. Tune in and enjoy!

Here we are... talking about movies, music, games, and anything else that tickles our nostalgia! This is our 50th episode, and we're excited to share it with you! 🎉
We're also changing things up a bit. Now that we're on YouTube, we'll be uploading shorter videos more frequently because that's what works best on the platform. Don't worry, we'll still have audio-only podcasts for you to enjoy, but they might be shorter or less frequent than before. We hope you'll stick with us as we try new things and grow our audience.
In this episode, we review the movie The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot, starring Sam Eliott. Did we like it? You'll have to listen to find out. Spoiler alert: it's not an action movie.

Back to tall tales about getting underway! Our hosts share a few salty tales of life in the Coast Guard after they left Key West and went their separate ways. Doug shares a few tales about the Point Camden (pre-Key West), and what it was like to be a recruiter. Tony goes off the rails with stories of clinic life in Yorktown, VA, and temporary assignments in Charleston, SC. There is a lot of stuff in this one – honestly, it is probably more about figuring out how to live life in the Coast Guard and the real world. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, but probably mostly cry.

The guys are tired! Doug eats pistachios! They talk about their hats! David Cassidy! Much discussion about video games! This episode also has three quizzes:
Doug asks Tony to identify bands based on band members.
Tony asks Doug to guess sequels and spinoffs to ever-popular old TV shows
Then Doug plays “Tupac, Celine, or Elvis”
OK, as mentioned in the past, they can’t all be winners, but winners suck, and this one is a respectable second place.
