    How dare you try to infiltrate our podcast in hopes you may steal our precious episodes? Prismaeya is back to join us on a deep dive about the red-dreaded one we all love (some more than others), Knuckles! While Rad Red has had a remarkably consistent characterization across his various portrayals (with some notable exceptions), his role itself has shifted dramatically over the years. From the original rival to roster filler, from hothead to meathead, from stoic loner to Christ allegory, this echidna has seen and done it all, but which ones feel the most true to the guy who's rougher than the rest of them? Let's discuss and find out! 0:00:00 Intro 0:06:16 Main topic: who is Knuckles? 0:10:39 Sonic's friendly nemesis 0:19:08 Is he actually that gullible? 0:28:00 Sidelined and dumbed down? 0:43:34 Connections to his people (and a long Archie diatribe) 0:59:50 Various cartoon portrayals 1:03:14 The voices 1:17:25 Let's talk about Sonic Boom 1:27:45 Knuckles' future 1:37:20 Love interests 1:45:38 Final thoughts 1:56:00 Outro Amie Waters on Linktree

    We're once again turning the pages of Sonic the Comic, this time with the arc that introduced everyone's favorite frenemy, Knuckles! In an adaptation of Sonic 3, the red-dreaded one gets bamboozled by the big egg himself into aiding in his sinister schemes! Can Sonic and Tails hold off this newcomer long enough to successfully capture Robotnik? And if so, will that victory come at a much greater cost?

    And Sometimes Coconuts

    A new year means new reasons to look backwards on The Hill Is Always Greener, and we can't think of a better one than to see where it all began for the silliest of Sonic cartoons! That's right, we're taking it back to the Fall of '93 to discuss the origins of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog! But we're not just talking about the first episode, "Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad", recounting the birth of our beloved dumb-bots. No, we're also taking a look at the workprint of the original unaired pilot used to sell the show to advertisers! So join us as we see what changed, what stayed the same, and why we still get a good laugh from this show every single time.

    With 2025 coming to a close, it's important that we end the year on the right note. And by that, we mean an absolutely bonkers game show that quickly descends into madness. Returning guest Prismaeya and Sonic F cast members Kage-Ichihashi and Mystic Pyro Freak are paired up with our hosts in a three-way battle royale to determine the top trivia team. Will speed, fly, or power win out in the end? What kind of devious questions does Faulerro have up his sleeve? And how badly are we going to have to sandbag CyberLink to keep him from running away with the whole thing?

    Charmy Bee's Favorite Shakespeare Quote

    December is here again, and what better way to get into the spirit of the season than with the most unhinged variety show this side of a galaxy far, far away? That’s right, it’s two hours of holiday hijinks and festive foolishness, filled with crackers, carols, and cold reads aplenty. So grab yourself a nice cup of cocoa, cozy up by the fire, and enjoy...whatever the hell this is.

    Amy Rose and Sage Fujoing Out

    We've all asked that question: When is Sega going to remake Sonic's first big 3D outing? And we all know the answer: Probably never. But what if the possibility existed beyond the realm of fantasy? And...what if they asked the four least qualified people in the world to call the shots? That’s right, this episode, we're talking about all the things we'd like to see in a hypothetical remake of Sonic Adventure, one which we've dubbed "Sonic Adventure Kiwami!" (Note: Kiwami means extreme.) From gameplay adjustments to presentational upgrades, new stories and cameos galore, we've opened our hearts to the many possibilities, and nothing is off the table...for better or for worse.

    Oh No, I'm Trying to Cross the Road, but I'm Dummy Thicc!

    Alphanumeric! We're back to the Martin Adams series to check out Sonic and the Silicon Warriors! Robotnik has abducted the Mobian population, and Tails has found himself trapped in a world inside the computer where man has never been! Now it's up to Sonic and his new friend Iggy to bring them back while fending off robots, security programs, and every (lawyer friendly) cameo under the sun! Can our hedgehog hero survive this digital dimension, or is he destined to be deleted like so much junk data? Tune in to find out!
