April 10, 2015 – No Show This Week

Hi friends,

Unfortunately, we here at The Arcade are unable to provide a new show for you this week, due to scheduling conflicts out the wazoo. Don’t worry though, we’ll be back with a brand-new episode for you next Friday!

Had we done a new show, our Blasts From The Past for this week would have been American Psycho (Movie / April 14, 2000) and The Maxx (TV Series / April 8, 1995 – June 19, 1995). Show or no show, those are still well worth checking out.
