Episode 128: Shovel Knight

Episode 130: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

“You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.” Get out the spaghetti, because this week Aaron and James tackle one of their favorite films and one of the most iconic Westerns of all time. From the brilliant direction to the superb score, this ain’t your American Western. But amidst all the incredible imagery and sounds, do all its themes work? Does it justify its length? Only one way to find out! (And no, it’s not “Google those questions.” It’s “Listen to this episode, you goof!”)

Episode 129: Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith

“Love won't save you, Padmé. Only my new powers can do that.” Whether you sighed reading that line or not, there’s no arguing the George Lucas didn’t save some of his best prequel ideas for this trilogy capper. Join Aaron, James, and a returning special guest as they find the good amongst the dark side of this Star Wars entry. If you’re a fan of the series or not, there’s something for you in this episode. From the conclusion of Anakin’s arc to the brilliance of Order 66 to the ever-maligned writing, there is no shortage of discussion to be found here. Enjoy this episode, we hope you will.

Episode 128: Shovel Knight

"Using a shovel as a weapon... what a groundbreaking idea!" Aaron, James, and a special returning guest conclude Mega May with a 2D platforming classic that wears its Mega Man influences on its sleeve, but stands amongst the best indie games in its own right. You will dig this episode! (Shovel pun.)

Episode 127: Mega Man (TV Series)

“Once the airport is mine, I'll control the city!” Mega May continues this week with the ‘90s American animated adaptation of Mega Man! Join Aaron and James as they explore three select episodes of the show and explore their ‘90s charm, middling animation, unintentional comedy, loving homages to the game series, and more.

Episode 126: Mega Man Battle Network 2

"Jack in!! MegaMan, Execute!" Mega May continues this week with an entry in Capcom’s tactical role-playing spin-off series. While Aaron.exe and James.exe think this game might have succeeded a bit more in the early 2000s than in today’s gaming era, there are still some high highs to discuss among some of the very low lows. Get your cyber phones ready (or whatever cyber equipment you use to listen to cyber audio recordings) because you’re in for a cyber good time!
