This week on the Boss Rush Podcast, Corey and LeRon are joined by not one, but two guests, Boss Rush Network writer Sofi Beyen and the host of Tales from the Backlog Dave Jackson. They discussed the Mass Effect trilogy, Tekken 8's questionable character return, desert island games, and the big topic of Bungie's second round of mass layoffs and restructure.
