Long time listeners may recall that back in 2020, Caleb and Isaac discussed the 1999 Sonic OVA, as a reaction to the recent release of the live action film. Well guess what folks? In honor of the sequel to that film being released later this week, the boys have come together again to take a look at how Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) stands up. And this time we have our residing Sonic expert on the show, Johnny! What will we think of the film? Run like a hedgehog and hit that play button!

Anderson Resident Evil film! Johnny has once again joined the roster as we take a trip into The Hive, and get lost in a Wonderland of corporate malfeasance. How does this film stack up 19 years after it hit theaters? Pop it on and watch along with us!
