Is the Donkey Kong fandom in BRAMBLE SHAMBLES? The Donkey Kong Bananza Direct has kicked up a regular Zinger's nest about Donkey Kong lore. "Nintendo doesn't worry about Donkey Kong lore, and neither should you." Oh, is that so? Courtney returns to the show to defend the notion of caring about a fictional universe, while also helping Hyle push aside some of the bad-faith readings about what's going on with DK's upcoming game!

1322 - Donkey Kong Bananza (and why Caring about Lore Is Okay)

Let the weekly podcast from DK Vine be the anthem in your ears whether you’re on the street or feeling the Jungle Beat. In these uncertain times, you don’t want to just fight the power. You want to fight the power while playing with Nintendo Power!

It’s a regular Rarevolution as we debate current events or the lessons of history from the Donkey Kong Universe: Donkey Kong Country, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, Dinosaur Planet, Yooka-Laylee, Sea of Thieves, and much more. No kings. No tyrants. Just the power of the people. Oh, and we've also invited some apes, monkeys, bears, squirrels, lizards, and bats.
