In a slight change from the norm, Alex and Michael do an episode about video game history, talking about the lawsuit between Universal and Nintendo.  Come learn about a very angry studio head, a Japanese company that flew by the seat of its pants, and more about the 1976 King Kong film than you ever cared to hear.
