We see Sonic's bedroom for the first (and last) time! Are space more blokes than pirates? Are After Eights mints? Plus one of the funnier Diary Zones we've had. If you're wondering while listening to the diary entry about the party, the sentence you ... more

  • What a treat this is

    Outrageously entertaining and shamelessly nostalgic banter from these two dumbbell-ends.

    Surprisingly slick production too (backhandedness of the compliment unintended) — the chat is tightly edited, and each strip is summarised with scene-setting music (usually from the relevant game) and often feature some impressively theatrical vocal performances (Dave’s Robotnik is always a joy and Chris’s American accents are uncanny), and they never pass up any opportunity to splice in a silly little musi... more

  • Nostalgia can be toxic, but not in this case!

They live a luxurious life for free, you know!’ So indulging in too much nostalgia can leave you vulnerable to manipulation by fascists who seek to exploit you. But THIS show, despite being extremely indulgent in a nostalgic sense, is actually great and listening to it will help us all destroy the fascists who continue to seize contr... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#178 - The That of This - with @abbydenton.com
Q: How do the hosts feel about Knuckles' decision to eject the Chaos Emeralds and stay behind?
They view it as a bold, edgy beat that pushes the sonic-arc into darker emotional territory, while also noting it risks feeling melodramatic if not balanced with earlier lighter moments.
