Retro game aficionado DalaamClouds joins this episode to talk about some of our favourite media experiences in 2025, including Sinners, Kamen Rider and Rebecca Black??? How old does a game have to be to be retro? Why do we hate one of the most popular new games amongst Japanese game devs? Is British SKA music good? Some of these may or may not be answered. These annual episodes are getting more timely with each year.
