The Hill Is Always Greener

A Chicken for Every Occasion (ft. Dertek)

Ever since we were young boys, we’ve played the silver ball…but we’ve never been any good at it. But pinball is baked into Sonic's DNA, so we figured it's time we took a look back at all the times Sega (and a few passionate fans) have put their own spin on things. Plus a special guest joins our pinball party to see how well these virtual tables stack up to the real thing!

The Dream is Always to Break into a Joypolis

This week, we've got a pocket full of quarters and we're headed to the arcade! While most of his coin-op career never made it out of Japan, Sonic's managed to do it all. From laying the smack to making snacks to rolling a ball that tracks, there have been a lot of Sonic arcade games released...and at least one that wasn't. So hop in your space cruiser and watch out for the fuzz as the gang does their best to cover them all!

The gang decides to take a look back at two all time classics, Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2...but probably not the ones you're thinking of. The Master System and Game Gear get their time to shine this week, as we talk about catchy soundtracks, screen crunch, stage gimmicks, rad fan remakes, and the unfortunate demise of one Miles Prower.

Women Want Shadow, Fish Fear Him

Following up their previous discussion from the previous week, the gang looks back at the end of an era and the start of a very different one with Sonic Adventure 2! Join them as they live and learn all about edgy theater kids, thinly-veiled child murder, and how Big the Cat could have singlehandedly saved us all.

Sonic’s “Rocky” Transition Into 3D

Ah, yeah! This is happenin'! In this inaugural episode, the gang introduces their history with Sonic before diving into the franchise's first major 3D outing with a look back at the seminal Sonic Adventure. The Dreamcast launch title led to big changes for the Sonic franchise, but are the hosts' hearts still open to it, or is it a perfectly chaotic mess? Join us to find out!
