My guest this week is a legend in the voice over field and has been working in it for over 40 years. I'm joined by John Stocker, a Canadian voice actor and director who has worked on a number of projects you may have heard of... He is Beastly from Care Bears, he was the director for the original English dub of Sailor Moon, Toad from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show and many more.

We talk about his early days in show business, his work on SCTV, his friendship with John Candy, his approach to acting and finding a character's voice and so much more. You definitely will want to listen to this one.

A week or so late but this quater's Patreon poll episode is here! I'm joined by Adam from The Good The Bad and The Backlog to talk about the Astral Chain from Platinum Games. Astral Chain is an action-adventure hack and slash game that was came out in 2019. Adam and I discuss what charms us about this game, how the story is bonkers but kind of good? and how the gameplay mechanics are deeper than we expected. This was a really fun game to cover for the show so I wanna send a big thank you to the patrons who voted for it!

Episode two of Toriyama month is here and this week I am joined by Marc "Try4ce" Duddleston to talk about the second Dragon Quest game. Coming out less than a year after the original, Dragon Quest 2 was an insanely ambitious game that tried some cool new things and some not so cool new things. Try and I talk a lot about how the game plays and feels, it's story and it's vast open world Does this game hold up all these years later? Try and I do our best to answer that.
