Whichever pun you prefer, this special Randomer Nintendo episode is a biggie! We discuss our firsthand thoughts on the event itself, the hardware, and games like Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid Prime...

What better way to speed up the wait for the Switch 2 Direct than with some quality content? No, we don’t mean ourselves. We mean the content we’re discussing in this very episode, be it The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, Switch platformer Bakeru, or Daredevil: Born Again. Plus, we have in-depth discussions about where modern 3D Sonic should go next and season 2 of Severa...

You’ll hear our takes on Pokemon Champions and Pokemon Legends:...

It’s a Randomer Nintendo full of twists – literally! We discuss our favorite and least favorite twists in media, with even a twist of our own by workin in impressions of the likes of Captain America: Brave New World. But before we get there, we’ve got other impressions to share of movies like The Gorge, shows like A Crash Course in Romance, and games like A Little To The Left. Pl...

Rarely do we have such an even split of media as we do in this episode of Randomer Nintendo. You want game discussion?

Looking for a medium more passive? Well, we’ve got movie an...

If there’s anyone who can turn a two-minute trailer into an hour-long discussion, it’s us! The Switch 2 is finally official and we’ve got a lot of thoughts, from dissecting the hardware to Nintendo’s new focus on evolution not revolution. We also dive into that brief Mario Kart clip and what it may tease about Switch 2’s game lineup as a whole. Plus, we check out the...

Gotta go fast into 2025! We kick off our first episode of the year with a whole lot of hedgehog: the Sonic 3 movie, Sonic x Shadows Generations, and even Sonic at Topgolf — and contrary to our title, none of them are slop.

It’s the big December award show you’ve all been waiting for. No, not The Game Awards (although we talk about that too). It’s our fifth annual Quarantinis! We crown all our favorite content we consumed in 2024, including games, movies, shows, music, anime, and more. Plus, what’s an award show without a preshow? So before getting to our picks, we discuss the aforementioned 2...

It’s an episode with a couple of Pros that come with a few cons. Apple’s new iPhones and the PlayStation 5 Pro, that is.

Plus, our resident Linkin Park fanboy Jason reports back from no...
