Jeremy, Candace The Magnificent and Navaar Jackson are back this week to talk about the news of the Assassin's Creed: Shadows release. Can you guess why? Yep, a lot of people seem very upset that one of the main protagonists - Yasuke - is a black man, in a game set in feudal Japan. Would we have this same backlash if it was a white guy? Is using the 'historical accuracy' label being used more by game and media companies just to avoid being classed as 'woke'? And how does it compare to game companies embracing gender? Let's talk about it!

Back once again with the ill behaviour, honorary halflings Navaar Jackson and Candace The Magnificent join Jeremy this week to chat about a recently federally recognised holiday - Juneteenth! Taking a look into its (revisionist) history, the horrendous conversations our hosts have had around it as black americans growing up, other federally recognised black holidays in the US, and what Juneteenth might look like in the future... if capitalism gets its way.
