    Donkey Kong '94: A Plumber's Pet Primate (ft. Ozzy Garcia)

    Yes, you read that right. Canonically, Donkey Kong is Mario's pet gorilla. Because, y'know, every New York plumber has a domesticated primate the size of a fridge. The Retro Hangover Review Crew Maestro himself, Ozzy Garcia, joins us to discuss a seemingly overlooked Game Boy title that is near and dear to his Harambe-lovin' heart.

    Final Fantasy VI: Down to Clown (ft. Rick Firestone)

    A monument to non-existence. The sweet music of hundreds of voices screaming in unison. Torch everything. Today we delve into the nihilism-turned-sociopathy of the original Insane Clown, Kefka. To maneuver through the madness we've brought along the one and only Rick Firestone of Pixel Project Radio!

That Intro Tho

Chris & Shane have great energy & rapport and make tuning in a joy each week. Highly recommend as part of your regular rotation.

RockDad822 ,

Good job dudes!

I love your show. The first thing I heard on your show was you guys talking over each other. I know this public domain but your opening music. It is the opening music to Good bad or bad bad on YouTube. I will continue to listen, Thanks fellas.

MYSHIFTKEYISBROKE ,

Rare Mashup of Retrohead Podding

These dudes combine smart retro commentary with a refreshing masculine humor that proves you don’t need a pocket protector to know what’s what with old games…despite being completely in the wrong on their position in the eternal Diddy Kong Racing vs Mario Kart debate.
