SEGtember continues with a look at the groundbreaking Phantasy Star (1987) for the Sega Mark III/Sega Master System! Jeremy Parmentier and Kyle VonKubik explore this classic JRPG, from its impressive graphics and Star Wars influences to Sega's decision to feature a female protagonist in 1987. Meanwhile, Kyle can’t seem to get past the owlbears in the first area.

In this episode, they’ll chat about how Phantasy Star tried to make waves the same week as Final Fantasy, just a year after Dragon Quest (1986). Is it an overlooked, albeit difficult, gem? Or is Kyle just terrible at it? Maybe both? Tune in to find out!

SEGTEMBER continues this week on ONE RAD PODCAST!
This time, The Sultan of Sega Peter Graphic and Kyle Kubik hack and slash their way through the arcade classic, Golden Axe (1989)! Then they wrap things up with a review of the often-forgotten Game Gear spin-off, Ax Battler: A Legend of Golden Axe (1991).

Will they discover why Ax Battler fights Death Adder with a sword in Golden Axe, instead of, well… an axe? No. Will they traverse some deep Sega nostalgia with their usual brand of bullshit? Absolutely.

Strap in for a magical time — one that won’t require you to dropkick a gnome. (But we won’t stop you if you want to.)

It’s back-to-school season… unless you’re listening on the Club Feed, in which case, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

On this episode, we resurrect Saturday Morning Crunch at the request of a longtime podcast pal, Eric Alex, who also joins us as co-host! Eric was talking games with Kyle VonKubik and John E. Capcom all the way back in 2009, and we’re thrilled to have him back on the mic.

This time, we’re diving into the criminally underrated and under-discussed 1986 cartoon Galaxy High School, a show that had all the right pieces but ultimately never found its audience.

Join us as we explore this short-lived animated series, its potential influences, and its surprising connections to tabletop role-playing games.

Join Kyle Von Kubik, John E. Capcom, and Peter Graphic as they crack open a can of spinach and punch their way through Popeye (1990) and Popeye 2 (1991) for the Nintendo Game Boy. Two portable adventures starring animation's most famous sailor man. Along the way, they tackle one of the franchise's greatest mysteries: Is it Bluto or Brutus? One thing's for sure: it isn't Blutus. That's nobody.

On this episode of ONE RAD PODCAST, Kyle VonKubik and John E Capcom take on Retro Game Challenge 1 and 2 from 2009, a pair of games built around a lovingly idealized version of late 80s and early 90s childhood gaming.

From made up retro titles to in game magazines and cheat codes, these games do not just recreate the past, they remix it into something a little too perfect. Kyle and John unpack what feels authentic, what feels exaggerated, and why that version of growing up still hits so hard, even if it may not have been quite this perfect the first time around.

On this episode of ONE RAD PODCAST, Kyle VonKubik and John E Capcom tackle two games with roots in the Wonder Boy family tree: Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom (2018) and Super Adventure Island II (1994).

One is colorful and polished, the other is weird and surprisingly ambitious, and both give the guys plenty to talk about. They compare notes on gameplay, trace their shared DNA, and inevitably get pulled back into their ongoing argument about the term "Metroidvania."

History, hot takes, and at least one unnecessary semantic debate included at no extra charge!

This week, John E. Capcom and Kyle Von Kubik talk Civilization (1991), with a focus on the KOEI-published Super Nintendo / Super Famicom version. We discuss the mysteries of The Wheel, rewriting history, and the very real danger of Gandhi getting the bomb. It is all about exploring, expanding, exploiting, and exterminating like a genetic freak with a 144 and 2/3 precent chance of global domination. Holla if you hear us!

This week, Kyle has the night off as Peter Graphic and our very own Nekobun verbally shake their groove thang while reviewing Disco Elysium (2019), a game that is not about disco dancing, but is about murder. Do you like dialogue trees, quirky characters, intrigue, and substance abuse? Then this game might be for you! And if you like two people talking about those things, guess what? This episode is for you!
