On this jam packed episode of Maximum Utcast we're digging into the kusoge Ganso Saiyūki: Super Monkey Daibōken, a Famicom game based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West that is sometimes known as the ultimate crappy game. Along the way we discover secret vaginas and penises that have infiltrated games for dozens of years. Later, Jonathan talks with Matt Kap (Castle in the Darkness 2, Astalon: Tears of the Earth), developer of Lovish about his love of little blue knights. We get a little extra information about Jonathan's experiences with Love Eternal (SPOILER WARNING!) and in the post-show, Daniel practices some vocal warmups.
