  • Randomer Nintendo 77: Miss Piggy Gets Around
    Dec 23 2025

    Contrary to our episode title, it’s not just Miss Piggy who got around. We got around Los Angeles to attend The Game Awards in person, plus onto the planet Viewros for early impressions of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. It’s an episode full of our thoughts on all the big TGA announcements, reveals, our in-person experience, and more.

  • Randomer Nintendo 75: They Call Them Honkers
    Nov 13 2025

    Don’t judge an episode by its title because this is a wholesome one, we swear! We start with some Lego Game Boy talk and revisited Chainsaw Man impressions before ping-ponging between a whole host of movies and TV shows: Predator: Badlands, IT: Welcome to Derry, Pluribus, Good Fortune, and Pixar’s Win or Lose. Then, we turn to Nintendo with hands-on impressions of Kirby Air Riders and a dive into the company’s latest financials and how Switch 2 is still breaking records. See? Wholesome — and maybe a bit gory.

    Oct 22 2025

    The year, 2025. The boys, Angel and Kevin. The third host, lost in Europe with no way home. So they did what they had to do and recorded one without their lost brother. What do they talk about? I honestly don’t remember, but they had to censor it a bit.

Plus, we revisit the year’s Marvel movies and more.
