Giant Bombcast

Jan's out on assignment, so Grubb is joined by co-captain Shawn, slamma jamma Mike, and an injured Dan to talk about retro gaming, Indiana Jones, Ninja Gaiden, and more! After that, news of the week and your emails! (What IS Coworker...?)

We got the whole gang together to draft our own lists for Fantasy Critic 2025!

The Nintendo Switch 2 is real and so is this podcast! We chat about Pokemon Cards, going back to Star Wars Outlaws, Blade Chimera, the greatness of Bowser's Fury and tripping out in Soundself.
