BONUS Bag Of Picks | Episode 1 | Nintendo, Demon Cycle and The Black Donnellys (but more importantly TOOTSIE ROLLS!)

In this special debut episode presentation of Bag of Picks the Pickheads Rod, Keegan and Owain try to sort of figure out the format. Each week one of them will bring a topic from the worlds of gaming, tv/movies and the written word to the table, where they’ll pick what’s worth talking about so you don’t have to.

This weeks topics are the most recent Nintendo Direct presentation, the fantasy series The Demon Cycle and the short lived NBC crime show The Black Donnellys. They also end up talking about Britain’s flawed candy knowledge, Macho Man Randy Savages second and much more prestigious career as a rap artist and maybe even hint at what’s to come.
