On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris climb aboard the SAG Cartoon Express to discuss another classic Sonic the Hedgehog episode, but not THAT Sonic the Hedgehog show. The OTHER Sonic show that was airing at the same time, which was just called Sonic the Hedgehog. Not confusing at all! Anyway, the episode was called No Brainer, and it certainly was an episode of a TV show. But was it better than The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog? How did Sonic survive after eating a chili dog from a vending machine in a sewer? Who put that vending machine there in the first place? We may never know.
At the top of the show, Kris explains why he was sick for most of the week, and why he wound up freezing cold, watching The Flash on his phone on the floor of the local mall. Meanwhile, Dan had to drive extreme distances for a combination of hospital visits and specialized chicken finger restaurants. Meanwhile, Cave Story is still excellent, Dadish 3D delivers hot Dadish action in 3 dimensions, Pokemon Scarlet is exactly as janky as everyone said, and more!
Finally, in Week Old News, Tomb Raider has been CENSORED by the woke agenda!!! OR HAS IT?!? Sensationalist headlines would have you believe it was a nefarious plot to suck all the joy out of viewing tiny, out of focus JPEGs of a hyper-polygonal Lara Croft, but is there more to the story? Plus, Infogrames is back (and still hard to pronounce), an interview about the Tetris CD-i soundtrack is saved, Nintendo 64 NSO gets a rather bizarre update, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!
On this week’s episode of This Week’s Episode, Evan takes the gang on a trip to Grimsburg. Karen calls the Midwife, Angie gets all Scottish with Outlander and Kris visits the Sand Land. All this and so much more!

On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris dive into what can only be described as the most unbelievably dull 10-20-30-40 in the show’s history. That is, of course, until they get to the 30, where both the Super NES and Sega Genesis had some absolutely stellar months featuring the likes of Streets of Rage 3, King of Dragons, and Super Metroid. But just how bland were the rest of the decades? Did the Wii U actually have the best release of the month? Let’s find out!
At the top of the show, Dan had some adventures in water heating this week when his existing heater broke, and the joys of trying to fix/replace it commenced! Meanwhile, Kris started watching Fallout, finished his Dadish replays, and enjoyed the exploits of a turnip committing tax evasion.
Finally, in Week Old News, Hallmark revealed their awesome new gaming-themed holiday ornaments, a variation of the Konami Code was discovered in everyone’s least-favorite Castlevania game, Nintendo’s latest Indie World showcase left Dan unimpressed and Kris delighted, and a whole lot more!
On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris tackle a listener request that’s a much tougher question to answer than it might seem. Which console’s library was better? The Super NES or the Game Boy Advance? With so many amazing games on each system, it’s a tough call, but the guys are going to try their best, and probably wind up wasting a whole lot of time because well, that’s what they do best!
At the top of the show, Dan and Kris quickly dove into a lengthy conversation about X-Men 97 and how it’s so good even Dan likes it! Also Kris talks about how episode 5 put a huge dent in his week, but thankfully The Bad Batch’s consistent mediocrity was able to calm him down. Dan has had some issues with Marvel Snap lately, and he goes to great lengths to explain what they are and why they bother him. I’d tell you what they are, but I honestly wasn’t paying any attention. Kris beat Princess Peach Showtime and worked his way onto Dadish 2 in preparation for Dadish 3D!
Finally, in Week Old News, Polygon compiles a list of terrible potential names for the Switch 2, Vampire Survivors finally comes to PlayStation and it’s bringing Contra along for the ride, Ubisoft dumps some exhausting pricing schemes on us for their new Star Wars game, and a whole lot more!
On this week’s podcast, Dan and Kris bring you the latest installment in the Alphabet Soup-er Series, where they discuss games once a month in alphabetical order. It was Dan’s pick for the letter L and he went with Life Force for NES, a game that’s anything but an L. Konami once again showed off their prowess on the NES with this wonderfully brilliant (and very difficult) scrolling shooter, complete with sounds and effects ripped straight out of Contra. How did this NES port hold up to ist arcade-based big brothers? Let's Find out!
At the top of the show, Dan complains that Sony has ruined The Show in its latest update, and discusses the difficulties in dealing with Thanon is Marvel Snap. Meanwhile, Kris tests out Princess Peach Showtime with a number of different audiences, all of whom have different opinions on the game, makes big plans to finally finish off Contra:Operation Galuga, and spends more quality time with his Atari VCS with games Milli & Greg, Cash Cow DX, and more.
In Week Old News, Tekken flirts with Waffle House, ex-PlayStation boss rips some numbers out of his butt, the Nuon gets a fresh re-release, Dadish goes 3D, and what is that I see? IS that EVEN MORE? Why yes, it is! Check it out!
On this week’s episode of This Week’s Episode, Angie makes us catch up on Resident Alien and we love her for it! Karen is joyful over the return of Girls5eva, Evan tries another CBS show and Kris heads back to 1997 with the X-Men. All this and so much more!
When Gary Busey needs help with some ex-president criminals, Keanu Reeves comes calling by infiltrating the group through the local street racing scene. Sorry I mean the local surfing scene, not sure how I could be so confused.
On this week’s podcast, Dan, Kris, and Dean board the SAG Cartoon Express to discuss a classic episode of The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. This was the “funny” one, and boy are those quotation marks doing some heavy lifting. Between Dr. Robotnik’s really weird design, to some very annoying catchphrases, this show was certainly a trip. How did the team enjoy it? Find out now! At the top of the show, Dean had some jewelry issues, and spent a lot of time with Helldivers, while Dan lamented the fact that it isn’t couch co-op. He did get to check out the new Godzilla x Kong movie with his daughter though, and he picked up MLB: The Show and had himself a very good time. Meanwhile, Kris discovered a hidden box of urine in his house, and fell in love with Cash Cow DX, the latest from the studio who brought you Donut Dodo! In Week Old News, layoffs abound, but it’s actually not as terrible as it’s been, there’s a new Tetris sequel prototype out in the world, Mario Maker’s final level has been beaten, and more!
