Show Notes
🦃 It’s 1983, and we’re spending Thanksgiving in July at the Saturday Supercade.
🎙️ Chad Young, Tommy Coombs, and Jayme Kilsby join us as we take a cue from Q*bert and pals and try to stay on topic as they learn how to build a Q home in a Q land in a retelling of the first Thanksgiving as square as the wheels on the Q*horse and buggy Pilgrim Q*bert wants to win.

💬 Topics & Tangents:
We all tried to remember who brought up the Q*bert special last year while talking about “A Thanksgiving Tale,” and we were all wrong.
Even “Kangaroo” got a “Saturday Supercade” segment eventually.
Peter Cullen was the first voice of Mario in the “Donkey Kong” segment.
“The Kingdom Chums: Little David’s Adventure,” an animated retelling of David and Goliath featuring Billy Bowles (Q*bert) as a stuffed lion come to life.
Pauline and her return in “Super Mario Odyssey.”
We accidentally introduce Chad to “Spookley, the Square Pumpkin.”
Viper has a Mae West voice, which leads into a tangent about “Quasi at the Quackadero.”
Chief Q*Eagle reminded me of Randall Cunningham’s name in Tecmo Super Bowl.
Saturday Supercade’s extensive use of the Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library.
Home Movies: “Don’t Put Marbles in Your Nose.”
Mike guests on TPIF: Thank Pod It’s Funny to discuss the Perfect Strangers Thanksgiving episode, “Wild Turkey.”
