Sonic Weekly

Comedian Joey Clift loves Garfield to a degree that is not dissimilar to the way we love Sonic the Hedgehog, and since the two characters have crossed over before, why not spend an episode chatting about Garfield? This is a fun one! Extra special thanks to Jack of Old Games for the edit!

Actress, writer, and Dragon Ball superfan Dani Fernandez (Disney's Wreck-It Ralph 2) joins Grant & David to talk about the overlapping Venn diagram between their favorite franchises.

Daniel "Danny8bit" Barnes wrote "Scrapnik Island," one of our favorite minis in the IDW Sonic the Hedgehog catalog, and now he joins the show to talk about his experience with the character. We recorded most of the show right before Summer Games Fest — but not all of it! So listen for our immediate reactions to the new information about Sonic x Shadow Generations.

This week, we're joined by a new friend, Bobby Amirkhanian, who spent his earliest years on the ground floor of Sega of America's internal testing division, playing games like NFL 2K before the rest of us. We hear those tales told, and also spend some time goofing on the news of the week - namely, the (false) story about Shadow's secret f-bombs. For more, check out the FTCR interview with Jason Griffith from 2016.

Bo, David, and Grant take a cue from the Sonic Weekly discord to discuss the Sonic mascot platformer clones. They also wrap up their thoughts on the Knuckles series on Paramount. Special thanks to Jack of Old Games for the edit!

"Pizza cake!" Animator Seth Anderholm (Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham) pops by for a chat about Super Smash Bros and Sonic's place in that franchise. Bo, David, and Grant also cover the news of the week, too, and talk about the Sonic OVA again.

Comedian Abby Denton joins in for a few laughs, as we clumsily attempt to recap the week's news and continue reviewing the Knuckles series on Paramount.

Rlan joins the fellas to reflect on a lifetime of Sonic the Hedgehog and how the blue guy inspired projects that led to a career in game development. Then, we talk about the first four episodes of Knuckles on Paramount!

This week, we're joined by two animators — Matt Braly talks about his love of Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast, then Ashlyn Anstee tells us about her preference for 3D Sonic over 2D. Also, everyone spends some time thinking about Knuckles the Echidna, as this episode was recorded right before the Paramount series premiere!

This week, MykonosFan from FTCR joins in along with the full cast. We get into the announcement of Shadow the Hedgehog's voice actor, and then reflect on our years in the fan community.
