In Season 2 Episode 27, Cybershell returns to the show for a wide-ranging rambling good time. Fueled by a few listener e-mails from the mailbag, we talk about The Lara-Su Chronicles, Archie Sonic, Fleetway Sonic, Archie NiGHTS, Saturn NiGHTS, and more! Btw, we're taking a few weeks off after this episode, you'll hear from us again in August!

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.
