RetroforceGO! ep 99: The Wizard DVD Audio commentary photo

Happy not-quite-Friday, listeners. This week we recorded our audio commentary track for The Wizard. Hopefully you've been able to obtain a copy of the film, otherwise this is going to be the most boring and confusing episode you've ever listened to.

If you have, you can sync up with us after the first half of the podcast and watch the movie along with us, MST3K-style. Highlights this week include:

  • California
  • Califooorrnia
  • California?
  • Califooooooorrrrrnia
  • California
  • Dinosaurs!
Subscribe to us on iTunes for the early matinee, or download it here to watch it late, when the theater is full of noisy teenagers. We hope you enjoy. We'll be back next week for our final show of the season, which also happens to be our 100th episode!

I hope you guys will have the fap chorus of sassy black women rounded up in time for episode 100. Or, if all else fails, some more awesome clips like on episode 50 would be sweet.

Jenny Lewis is indeed a bitch in this movie.

However....she got fucking hot.

The Cabazon Dinosaurs scene is my favourite part of that movie...closely followed by the Power Glove scene. It's so bad.

At any rate, I really enjoyed this.

Just a quick question. My podcast listening habits mainly consist of when I am on the train to work. I've seen The Wizard dozens of times so am I gonna be able to get away with just listening to you guys yammering on about it or is it going to make no sense at all?

To this day I'm confused about how Haley knows about the secret warp whistle in mario 3. She must be stealing nintendo company secrets on the side. Also Lucas is the most badass character in the history of cinema.Ever.

Is Lucas the greatest villain in the history of cinema?
(Hint: the answer is yes).

Don't mean to be a dick, but what made you guys decide to do this? I mean sure it's retro, but so were the SF/MK and upcoming DD commentaries Podtoid has done/will do.

Thank You, Everyone.

Trust me, you won't understand why Chaf is laughing so hard if you don't listen while watching the movie. It's really not hard to find and totally worth it. It's a total waste to just listen.

But yeah, that thing with the woman's butt IMMEDIATELY followed by and old fat guy in a Speedo was incredible. I've never seen this movie and it was totally unexpected. I was in tears.

But jeez, what's with all the Haley hate? You'd have an attitude too if you were her age and had no money, family, or home. Shame on you guys. Poor kid. :C

And why did Chad say the ending was sad? I thought it was pretty happy. I was expecting the autistic kid to die or something. Bittersweet, maybe. But not sad.

Anyway, awesome show. Do a couple a year or something, even if it's not game related.

Do you think Super Mario 3 would have sold as well as it did without this movie. I know it is the second best SMB game (Super Mario World is the best), but the movie was a hit with kids and high school age nerds like myself at the time.

Wow, if I learned anything from this, it's that Colette is REALLY mean to other girls. Or at least, trucker and geeky girls.

I had such a crush on the red head when I was a kid. This podcast was really hard to listen to :(

Also, I noticed something during the credits:

"POWERGLOVE ADVISOR"

Awesome, can't wait til I give this a listen while watching my not torrented copy of The Wizard.

And to whomever asked about getting a not torrent of this movie....well I really am NOT being a smart ass here when I say to just google it. You should get the desired results within the first few hits

I don't want to post links here for fear of anally violating the TOS....also this site is being real janky and it wont let me send PMs (it says I have to log in then it's telling me my username/password is wrong even though I am already logged in >_< )

So this was the first time for me to ever watch the wizard. I was totally not expecting old man speedo. He was in the shot for a good 2minutes. I laughed so hard that I'm pretty sure i pee'd myself.

Great episode :D

@Phoenix Gamma "POWERGLOVE ADVISOR"
In order for Lucas to be able to fake controlling the NES games, he needs to know what movements to make with the Powerglove...(that's what I'm guessing)

Even the first time I watched it on VHS 16 years or so ago, I always thought the character Haley was annoying and mean...

"Send me an angel, Send me an angel, Right now, Right now..."

Dont know if i am right but is this movie ever released outside the u.s because as a kid i never heared of it and me and my friends owned everything pretty much that had to do with nintendo.

I heared from this movie prob a few years ago.

Sorry to say but i think this episode was pretty wasted.
but could be because i have never seen the movie as a kid.

Is it me or does the RFGO think that the nerdy looking girl in the tournament sounds like the Swedish Chef?
