Now that Tears of the Kingdom is finally here, Aaron and James decided to pay homage this week to their favorite dungeons from the Legend of Zelda series. They've considered factors ranging from aesthetic to boss fights, and have come up with ironclad, official lists that they'll definitely never change or think twice about. Will your favorite dungeon make either of their lists? Listen in and find out!

"Everyone chooses death too hastily." Join Aaron, James, and a rotating selection of party members like Cecil, Rosa, Rydia, and Kain, as they work their way through this JRPG classic. They discuss how Square successfully elevated this game compared to the first three entries in the series, debate whether the lack of party management is a good thing, laud the differences between the OG and the Pixel Remaster (which might now be the definitive way to play the game), and much more! Plus, stick around to find out if Square does yet another late-game story dump and plot twist.

“You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything happens a minute either side of that and you're on your own. Do you understand?" In this case, give Aaron and James a roughly two-hour window to discuss this Nicolas Winding Refn cult hit. Anything that happens in this two hours and we’re yours -- and that’s a Game & Watch promise. Enjoy!

We’re drafting again! Join Aaron, James, and three special guests as they navigate the wealth of games released in 2002, reflect on their personal gaming histories, and share hearty stories about couch co-op and the earlier days of online gaming. The competition returns but, as always, common ground is found amongst all (particularly at the expense of one console). It’s the beauty of the medium. Gaming brings people together, so tune in to join the festivities!

Let’s-a-go! The wait is over and Mario is back on the big screen. Join Aaron and James along with a very special guest as they dive into the 2023 Super Mario Bros. Movie. Listen as they talk about their favorite (and least favorite) Easter eggs, analyze the discourse surrounding the movie, and try and figure out when they’ll introduce WaPeach into the franchise. And then stick around as they discuss how they feel about the prospect of adapting other Nintendo IP.

It's something Aaron and James have often pondered, both with each other and in their own heads -- what makes a television show one of our favorites? You'd think there should be a systematic, logical ranking system with agreed-upon criteria to evaluate such a thing, right? Well, it's not that simple. This week, join a sprawling romp through Aaron's and James' TV memories as they rank their personal favorite shows of all time. Listen in to find out why your favorites did (or didn't) make their lists. Needless to say, some surprises await. Enjoy!

"Kill the wabbit!" This week, Aaron and James, equipped with spears and magic helmets, break down this delightful, classic Looney Tunes short. Listen in as James reminisces about his early exposure to Looney Tunes and Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, all while your hosts contemplate how many children were first exposed to opera through this film.

Sometimes a topic comes along that can't wait -- a topic that begs, nay, screams to be discussed. This is one such emergency. From deep within his movie-making lair, famed flop auteur Tommy Wiseau has unleashed a trailer upon us all. Join Aaron and James as they break down the first trailer to the next Wiseau-ian masterpiece.

"A world where man will never stand ... to realize that world, I decided that I would engrave it on a canvas." This week, Aaron and James visit the Guertena Art Gallery and submit themselves to its Eldritch horrors as they explore every detail of this cult classic. Listen as they heap praise on the game’s premise and (most of its) tone, while also lamenting the ways in which it might have fallen short of their potentially-too-high expectations. And get ready to bring palm to face as Aaron adds yet another terrifying world to his list of worlds he wants to live in.

Now that Nintendo Switch Online has brought us a wealth of retro games from our childhoods and beyond, Aaron and James decided to evaluate the current catalog. Join them this week as they run through their personal favorites, discuss some confusing additions, and name their most-anticipated or most-hoped-for releases.
