X gonna give it to ya. This week, Aaron and James spend some time with the newest release in the long-running Metroid series. Does it live up to nearly 20 years of expectations? Well, if you were hoping for character names like "Quiet Robe," and "Raven Beak," you're in luck. And if you were hoping for an impactful, emotional story or gripping gameplay ... well, there's always Metroid 6. Give a listen and find out why.

Oh my! This week, Aaron and James take a trip to the Hundred Acre Wood to gush about one of their favorite TV shows. Join them as they discuss episode highlights and get into topics that no other podcast has the guts to touch. Topics like: Is Christopher Robin actually just a feral child living in his dead parents' house? Is Tigger actually kind of annoying? And last but not least, get ready for some controversey because Aaron and James join forces to put together the ultimate Winnie the Pooh character tier list.

It was the Fat Turban Boy King, in Toad House, with the Hammer. In this episode, Aaron and James aren't playing Clue, but the NES classic, Super Mario Bros. 3! By adding more deadly weapons, murderous enemies, and seven countries ruled by cis, white men, it's no wonder this game is still beloved today. Give it a listen and decide who you like better - Viking King or Gandalf King. Enjoy!

"We had such potential... such promise. But we squandered our gifts, our intelligence. Our blind pursuit of technology only sped us quicker to our doom." This week, Aaron and James discuss a forgotten animated endeavor of the late aughts. Join them as they explore the unrealized potential of the movie and interrogate, among other things, Aaron's hatred of the term "steampunk."

“Only I have the brains to rule Lylat!” Join your hosts as they trust their instincts and dissect a classic of the N64 era. Tune in as they do a barrel roll, attack an enemy base or two, make way for Katt, and determine whether Slippy is such a screw up after all.

Fahoofores dahoodores indeed! In their very first episode about a work made for TV, Aaron and James gush about one of the most beloved Christmas stories and specials of all time. Join them as they laud all that Chuck Jones brings to this adaptation, discuss the religious implications of the story, and give a firm scolding to all of the pervy fan fiction writers out there.

"And suddenly I was a shark." This week, Aaron and James join the titular Edith on her exploration of the haphazard and beautiful Finch home. Together, they try to find out just exactly why each member of this tragic family has disappeared or died, and learn a thing or two about the joys of indie gaming along the way. (Recorded: 11/24/21)

Dellow felegates! After spending too many episodes sifting through mediocre works of so-called "filmmaking," Aaron and James decided to tackle a real masterpiece. Join them as they break down possibly the most entertaining entry of George Lucas' much-maligned prequel trilogy and ask the important questions, like: Why did Padme fall for a tantrum-throwing baby like Anakin? Does Dexter Jettster know more than most Jedi? And is the Yoda fight actually good???

If you hate sand, this is the episode for you! (Recorded: 11/2/21)

Guh-huh! For the final installment of their four-episode miniseries, Aaron and James break down a classic 3D platformer, and one of James' favorite and most-replayed games of all time. Listen as they talon trot their way through discussing the level design, swimming mechanics, and much more. And of course, the comparisons to Mario 64 are inevitable. (Recorded: 10/17/21)

There's toxic fandom, and then there's hobbling. For the third installment of their four-episode miniseries, Aaron and James are held captive by one of Aaron's favorite movies and a definitive classic of the thriller genre. Pour a glass of wine and listen to them discuss casting choices, the psychology of the iconic Annie Wilkes character, and whether Rob Reiner is actually a good director. (Recorded: 9/26/21)
