April showers have brought May flowers and as winter transitions to spring, we here at DT!HQ are looking for something seasonal to celebrate! Unfortunately, we've already passed the Q1 holidays. So, in an effort to save this loosely constructed episode topic, we reached back into our collective high school trauma and decided to do a Prom Episode! Now, when I think of Prom, the first video game I think of is 1987's Punch-Out!! That's why this week we're asking the question, "Which Punch-Out!! Boxer would you take to prom?"

Andrew ventured to the Great White North in search of a date and a gallon of maple syrup. Kyle is making an entrance with the power of dance and white leisure suits. Todd is actually still banned from DT!HQ Prom, so we invited a new friend to our Prom Group. Welcome, from the school district across the county (and also the Video Game History Foundation,) Kelsey Lewin to our fancy dinner reservation!
