Episode Notes
And so we conclude our deluxe Whiparound two-parter this week, with Geekade.com’s Kris Randazzo helping Dave, Phil, and Shaun spelunk ever further into the strange world of cultural influence—VIDEO GAME EDITION! The guys cover the lessons and messages imparted to players of all ages, examining everything from jiggle physics to exploding crotches, from tank-based prostitution refunds to the dark truth behind Samus’ Big Reveal in the original Metroid.
AND THEN!
Phil’s segment finds a new name and we announce the winning entrant into the Name Phil’s Science Segment contest! Immediately after which, Phil proceeds to enlighten Dave and Shaun about real-world acceleration problems in some of your favorite movies—your heroes are useless puddles of ignorant goo in...well, you’ll hear what it’s called soon enough!
IN THE SPEED ROUND…
Phil is unimpressed with Aquaman’s abs, Shaun goes bleh about “meh,” Dave is sick of a particular group’s fucking gratuitous fucking cursing and more!
PLUS! Dave opens up a question for the listeners: the world needs a new and better SAVE symbol!
The cake is a lie, it’s dangerous to go alone, so do a barrel roll while you can…WITH The Whiparound!
