  • Donkey Kong Country 3 reference

    Well listened to the episode involving King K Rool and heard a Donkey Kong Country 3 reference to the kremlin war so that deserves a 5 star review and follow from me. Any Donkey Kong Country reference gets my attention and any Donkey Kong Country 3 gets my full consent

  • The “bespoke” podcast

    Great podcast, great hosts, great info, great discussion. Will edit to 5 stars when David stops mostly incorrectly using the word “bespoke” 1-3 times every. single. episode.
