Jordan and Alex discuss the underdog of the ‘90s video game wars. They’ll explain why Bill Clinton inspired the speedy character, how Michael Jackson may (or may not) have composed the theme music, and how corporate chaos nearly sunk the beloved hedgehog before the game was ever released. They’ll also delve into the history of video game easter eggs, the strange subculture of video game high score champs, the Sonic balloon disaster at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the unfortunate “teeth incident” that occurred before Sonic made his big screen debut in 2020.
