In this ultra stuffed pre-Thanksgiving episode, Matt's bringing all kinds of goodies to the table. We've got more Risk of Rain Returns, with a side of the Mario RPG remake. Coral Island could've used some more time in the oven, but we've also got some scandals to make up for it, and some PS4 10th anniversary to talk about for dessert.

Our break music this week, "Rose Town", was originally composed by Yoko Shimomura for Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. To be honest, I'm not sure who to credit for this new arrangement, but it bangs.
