April 3, 2015 – “Easter with Al” Music Special

Posted on April 3, 2015 by Mike "The Legend"

For this week’s episode of The Arcade, we’re doing things a bit differently. In light of the Easter holiday weekend, we’re holding off on the video game talk and replacing it with the musical stylings of “Weird Al” Yankovic. Yes friends, it’s time once again for our “Easter with Al” Music Special! We’ve scoured though his catalogue to bring you songs which explore themes of food, television, and love. Before we get to any of those, we bring you some of his rarely heard ditties in the “Obscure Originals” group. As always, we end off the show with our Blast From The Past segment, which this week is the movie Sin City!

What Was Played:

Dennis’ Nickname:

The man whose anger against religion is amplified by copyright infringement.

Blast From The Past:

Sin City (Movie / April 1, 2005)
