    From the original crew to the new Chad era, I have greatly enjoyed this podcast. Pulling back the curtain on RL Stein’s atrocious work had been a laugh riot for over a decade; and shows 90’s kids maybe their childhood favs weren’t all they were cracked up to be.

    Despite some curious, hard-line opinions on other generational staples like SEGA and Sonic the Hedgehog, and Incubus, truly a laugh riot. 5 stars.
