You're Too Show: A Sonic The Hedgehog Fancast

Rather than just talk about one shot from one scene from one episode today, we’re GOING BIG and talking about an entire cartoon! Lest our ambitions get the best of us, Sonic reminds us that all empires come to ruin, especially ones without compassion.

Join us as things really heat up in SatAM. We dig into why Sonic stories can feel genuine or forced, the different configurations of Sonic’s crew, and then we get super real about the correlation between Energon, the Zeo Crystal, and global politics.

Hello and welcome to NPR's newest pop culture podcast, You're Too Show. This week we recap episode two of Sonic SatAM, discuss a Golden Girls adaptation of the Terminator, and finally get Nick those acting awards he deserves in SPEED READING!

It's Sonic's 25th birthday, and we take the opportunity to review the first quarter of SEGA's ultimate plan. SatAM is gritty, silly, and Sonic almost commits actual murder.

We're live from the E3 show floor doing some hard hitting journalism for you, listeners, because you deserve it. No stone is left unturned in our moment-to-moment press coverage. Also we watched the pilot of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Take us out to the game grass, in this sports-oriented episode. See if you can “Mitt” all the SportsFacts, including: What is Turf; What shape ~is~ a baseball field, really; and why do grandpas love Humanity’s Worst Creation so much?

We’ve reached the final act of our Sonic 06 extravaganza with Zolani Stewart. We talk about why Rouge is the best, learn which character is the Waluigi of Sonic, and realize why we believe in the dream of Sonic.

Join us behind the emotional curtain as we explore the topic… of love. Feel the rigid metal of your heart transform into Eggman’s new Soft Alloy, and wrap your tentacles around our new favorite ship: SonAmy.

Y’all, we did some stuff in this episode, but at the end: we came up with the best Sonic game ever, so that’s all I can remember.

Join your two hosts for another episode of what Caleb has dubbed "the Last Airbender of Sonic." Sonic X leaves everyone an emotional mess, including us.

Your two hosts become detectives to uncover the tip of the iceberg of the truth of #CHUCKGATE and you won't believe what we find out.

Sound the alarm. Summon the race car police. Grandpa's name is revealed and so is A CONSPIRACY. Robotnik foreshadows his own loss with a bad robot name. Nick is terrified of spiders and pictures of spiders.

Every Day's Great is a new podcast where Caleb Zane Huett and Nick Splendorr discuss the Persona games, matching the real and game world calendars as closely as possible. No Persona experience necessary!

It's somebody's birthday! See if you can guess who while listening to this special mystery episode. We watch an episode of Sonic X, interview director Chris Columbus, and make all sorts of nonsensical mouth sounds in no particular order.

Since Caleb was out of town last week, here's the second part of our episode with Zolani Stewart. We talk about level design, Sonic's lack of agency, and liking things that are hard to like.

Caleb and Nick give each other notes on their podcast performance so far. Sonic X provides insight into Dr. Eggman's aesthetic. Speed Reading is back with a twist. Everybody Loves Anime!

Sonic X gets even more anime. Nick and Caleb discuss robot ethics. Optimus Prime makes some questionable decisions.

Join us for the first part of our conversation with Zolani Stewart about the infamous Sonic '06, widely regarded as the "worst Sonic game of all time."

Special guest merritt k (@merrittk) joins us to talk about the game where Sonic finally does a swear: Shadow the Hedgehog. This whole episode is rated NSFW10+, which means it's not safe for work, especially if you're older than ten.

Praise the gods of anime because it's time for SONIC X! Finally, all the characters in one place: Knuckles, Tails, Big the Cat, everyone's favorite kid Chris, the whole bunch.
