  • YTS 0048: Gastral Projecting (Kirby: Right Back At Ya! s1e05, “Beware of Whispy Woods!”)

    Look inside yourself to find this episode of YTS, glowing with blue spirit energy, ready to grow into a forest of wild knowledge. Neither Ferngully nor Innerspace have anything on this allegedly-cute cartoon, and… honestly, none of our prior work has prepared us for what we saw in this one. Also, we’re pretty sure Kirby farted.Music Credits:- Our theme song is a cover of "Hydrocity Zone" from Sonic 3, by Dave Donkin and Goodknight Productions: https://www.youtube.com/user/GoodknightProd- “Kirby Kirby Kirby!” theme by Norman J. Grossfeld and Ralph Shuckett- Excerpts from Kirby: Right Back At Ya! and other sources are copyright their respective owners.

    This is a big one, y’all! Your Two Hosts go full-on National Treasure to find hidden words, double agents, and the secret themes hidden within Mount Rushmore’s iconic Kirby sculpture.
