BoxTrick: A Retro Gaming Podcast

In Episode 118 of the BoxTrick Podcast, we take a trip back to one of the greatest eras in gaming history: the original PlayStation.

From cult classics to genre-defining masterpieces, we dive into some of our favorite PS1 games and discuss why this generation remains so beloved decades later.

We revisit the underrated RPG masterpiece The Legend of Dragoon and talk about why fans are still hoping for a remake or sequel. We explore the unique monster-raising mechanics of Monster Rancher, a game that was unlike anything else on the market at the time. We also discuss Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, one of the PlayStation’s most memorable RPGs, known for its incredible presentation, animated cutscenes, and unforgettable soundtrack.

And of course, no conversation about the PlayStation would be complete without Tekken 3, a game that many still consider one of the greatest fighting games ever made. We break down what made it so revolutionary and why it remains a benchmark for the genre.

Whether you grew up with the PS1 or are discovering these classics for the first time, this episode is a celebration of one of gaming’s most iconic consoles and the unforgettable games that helped define it.

In this episode of the BoxTrick Podcast, we give our full review of The Mandalorian & Grogu… and honestly? We had an absolute blast with it.

Despite some critics giving the film mixed reviews, we genuinely think they completely missed the point. This movie wasn’t trying to reinvent cinema — it was trying to be a fun, exciting Star Wars adventure on the big screen again… and it absolutely succeeds at that.

From the action and visuals to the chemistry between Mando and Grogu, this felt like the kind of crowd-pleasing summer blockbuster Star Wars has been missing for a long time. And while the movie definitely plays things a little safe at times, it still delivers exactly what a lot of fans have been wanting: classic Star Wars fun.

We break down what worked, our favorite moments, where the movie fits into the larger Star Wars universe, and why we think audiences are connecting with it way more than critics are.

If you’ve been waiting for Star Wars to feel like a big theatrical event again… this might finally be it.

In Episode 116 of BoxTrick, we head back to the golden age of the Sega Genesis to talk about some of the most memorable—and in some cases underrated—games of the 16-bit era.

We dive into the over-the-top insanity of WWF WrestleMania: The Arcade Game, the cult-classic comic book action of Comix Zone, the surprisingly unique experience of Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker, the co-op fun of Ghostbusters, and the shape-shifting platforming chaos of Kid Chameleon.

From hidden gems to all-time classics, this episode is a love letter to why the Sega Genesis still holds such a special place in gaming history.

In this episode of the BoxTrick Podcast, we dive into our full review of the Super Mario Galaxy movie and yeah… we absolutely loved it.

While critics on Rotten Tomatoes didn’t seem too impressed, fans have been showing up in a big way… and, we’re siding with the fans on this one. From the visuals to the cameos and overall vibe, this felt like one of the best video game adaptations we’ve seen.

We break down what worked, what stood out, and why this movie hits so well for longtime Nintendo fans.

We also react to the newly released Street Fighter movie trailer… and let’s just say… we’re not feeling nearly as optimistic about that one.

From hype to concern, this episode covers both ends of the video game movie spectrum.
