Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door - Cane and Rinse No.624
It's the newest game we've ever covered on Cane and Rinse. Probably. But also, it's 20 years old. What gives? Leon, Brian, Leah and Ryan - along with contributions from the listenership - jump right back into Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, hyphen and all. The panel gets into the usual forensic dissection of the 2004 follow-up to the N64 original Paper Mario - and we talk about the 2024 version for the Switch too.

Lunar Lander and Lunar Rescue - Cane and Rinse No.623
A double game 'twofer' show, as we look back at the start of the so-called 'Golden Age' of arcade games and two titles depicting similar concepts with wildly different approaches. Leon, Brian, Chris Worthington and Tony touch down with Atari's 1979 Lunar Lander, a vector graphics-based sim of sorts. Then the crew turns its attention to the Japanese developed Space Invaders spin-off, Lunar Rescue from Taito - also from 1979. Accompanied by a couple of intrepid correspondents, we hark back to a time when the original moon landing was fresh in people's minds, and interactive digital technology was new and thrilling.

Elden Ring - Cane and Rinse No.622
It's Elden Ring. In the lead-up to the long-awaited Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, Leon, Brian, Jay and Thomas summon collaborators and take on the daunting quest of podcasting about a game with just so much to it. With a collective play time of 750 hours or so - thousands if you include our community contributors - we attempt to encapsulate the scale and scope of FromSoft's epic open-world RPG, share the highs and lows of our times in The Lands Between and even address the feeling shared by some that there was, if anything, too much game...

Torment: Tides of Numenera - Cane and Rinse No.621
Rich, James and Jon are joined by Sean Bell of The Computer Game Show as they come together to discuss Inxile Entertainment's spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment , 2017's Torment: Tides of Numenera.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game - Cane and Rinse No.620
For our second look at a Ghostbusters videogame (there are plenty of others that didn't make the cut), we look at - er - Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Leon, Brian, Karl, Tony and community contributors look at the canonical third story - at least it was until the recent movies came along and changed some stuff. We focus on the PS3/360/PC version and its subsequent remaster, rather than the Wii, PS2, PSP, DS incarnations. Did bustin' make us feel good? Listen to find out.
-
Star Raiders - Cane and Rinse No.619
"Ahead of its time" is a barely adequate phrase with which to describe Star Raiders. Doug Neubauer's 1979 space combat simulator was a sensation at the time, and still manages to impress 45 years later. Leon, Chris O'Regan and Jesse activate shields and take on the might of the evil Zylon empire, before diving into the game's incredible legacy, including long-range scans of its various conversions, spin-offs and follow-ups.
Customer Reviews
Excellent gaming podcast
I’ve been listening to this podcast for 5-6 years now, and the team still delivers! My teenage daughter has also started listening and she finds Leon very relaxing to listen to. As a host, Leon excels, and the rest of the team are great too; particularly Michiel, Chris, Jessie, Leah, Karl and occasional guest Ben. They’re always very passionate about the games they play… except for Rayman!
Phenomenal long form video game insight
As an adult, I am lucky to finish 2 games a year but whenever I do I check to see if that game has a Cane and Rinse episode. The discussion is insightful, thorough and entertaining. Often when I am struggling to pick my next game, I look at my unplayed episodes for inspiration. Even episodes on games I have no interest in playing are a joy to listen to such is the high quality of the show.
Great… Most of the time
As with most ensemble podcasts some members of the team are better than others but that’s personal taste more than anything.
This is often a great show but I just can’t stand the sanctimonious left wing sjw drivel they break out into every now again. You’re reviewing video games ffs, does anyone care what about what a podcaster thinks about “problematic themes“ in a 20 year old video game ? I know I don’t.
Keep up the good work !
