You're Too Show: A Sonic the Hedgehog Fancast

Content Warning: There’s a city in this episode of Sonic SatAM that is pronounced the same way as the current President’s campaign slogan acronym, and it made us feel bad to hear and say it! We tried not to repeat it too many times.

Rather than just talk about one shot from one scene from one episode today, we’re GOING BIG and talking about an entire cartoon! Lest our ambitions get the best of us, Sonic reminds us that all empires come to ruin, especially ones with uncompassionate politics.

AND FINALLY: The thrilling conclusion of Sonic the Hedgehog the Novel, in Speed Reading!

Join us as things really heat up in SatAM. We dig into why Sonic stories can feel genuine or forced, the different configurations of Sonic’s crew, and then we get super real about the correlation between Energon, the Zeo Crystal, and global political structures.

It's Sonic's 25th birthday, and we take the opportunity to review the first quarter of SEGA's ultimate plan. SatAM is gritty, silly, and Sonic almost commits actual murder.

We're live from the E3 show floor doing some hard hitting journalism for you, listeners, because you deserve it. No stone is left unturned in our moment-to-moment press coverage. Also we watched the pilot of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, which is the origin of all things (including Caleb's fashion).

Join us as we somehow talk about bitcoin, Justin Bieber, and Shadow of the Colossus all in context of this one twenty minute cartoon. It's a wild ride.
