To take things out, Mike salvages what is left of this much-delayed episode by tag-teaming with Paul “Igadevil” Sullivan to have a free-form discussion about Kikaider The Animation–is it truly as controversial as the fans made it out to be, is it even worth the trouble? We’ll try to figure it out here!

Mike sacrificed Otakon and travels with Ron “Soulcrash” Ladao to the first year of the ScrewAttack Gaming Convention in Dallas, Texas! At least, that was the original plan. Because of a lack of proper format, the audio Mike recorded at the con is all over the map, resulting in something of an extended montage….
All the same, included are highlights from the Nolan Bushnell Keynote Address, a short look at the Jack Thompson Debate, guest appearances by Larry Oji and DJ Pretzel from OC Remix and the ScrewAttack Crew, a live rendition of “The Mario”, and the aftermath of Mike’s attempt at the Iron Man of Gaming Challenge! What it lacks in cohesion, it makes up for with awesomeness! Maybe.
Check out the show notes for a complete Timestamp list!

A bit late for Halloween thanks to the famed technical difficulties (but here for you nonetheless) is this year’s foray into the R5 Central Audio Grindhouse! Instead of doing all the trailers back to back this year, I figured I’d release them one after the other to allow for quicker release onto the net. This year promises to be the most risque and craziest yet with three new fake movie trailers for your listening pleasure, all of them most definitely Not Safe For Work. Be afraid.
This Time ‘Round: “JIG: The Walking Arsenal”, a non-stop 80’s styled actionsploitation extravaganza…with a blaxploitation twist!
