We're back in the studio with another brand-new episode in our traditional format -- after the past month-and-a-half of movie episodes and podcast panels, I thought we were about due. And since I had so much going on this week, I thought I'd stick to a safe, small pick:
Double Dragon. (Thanks to Rick from the Something Awful Forums for the suggestion!) At first, the series didn't seem very prolific, but combing through the many, many ports, spin-offs, and revivals left me with six pages of notes. Thankfully, Ray Barnholt and Sam Claiborn were on-hand to help me sort out the series that began brawlers as we knew them. Enjoy, and be sure to let us know what you think! (Easily done via the iTunes Music Store.)
