    urprise! Today, Dagan and I (Colin) gather for the first time in nearly a year for a brand new episode of KnockBack, this one dedicated to the 1990 live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. There's no doubt that TMNT is still relevant…

    April 16, 2025

  • #286 | Final Fantasy V

    March 19, 2025 · 2 hr 40 min

    In 1992, Final Fantasy V came to Super Famicom in Japan, but in the west, the seminal JRPG would remain a mystery for years. In 1999 (via PS1!) English-speaking audiences would gain access to the game for the first time (unless you played…

  • #284 | Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

    May 29, 2024 · 1 hr 54 min

    It's been a while since we've covered a game on KnockBack, so we thought we'd return with a bang. Long-requested as a target of our show, The Lost Legacy is a peculiar 2017 release that fits somewhere between an expansion and a full game…

  • #282 | Our Parents

    April 17, 2024 · 3 hr 4 min

    We're settling back in from Sacred Symbols 300 live in New York City, and the experience has us (The Brothers Moriarty) feeling nostalgic, which is a good thing for our retro-and-nostalgia-themed show. We're particularly sentimental about…

  • #280 | Starship Troopers (Book + Film)

    March 6, 2024 · 2 hr 24 min

    With all of the hullabaloo surrounding Arrowhead's hit PS5 and PC game Helldivers 2, we figured we'd delve into its most obvious inspiration: Starship Troopers. Most people know Starship Troopers as the 1997 Paul Verhoeven sci-fi flick…

    February 28, 2024 · 2 hr 14 min

  • #278 | Jaws

    February 7, 2024 · 1 hr 53 min

    1975's Jaws is a seminal work in the thriller genre, and it was somehow delivered by an overwhelmed, overworked, and over-his-head Steven Spielberg, directing only his second theatrically-released film. With a bloated budget more than…
