Episode 218 - Ridley's Lair (NES): Mapping Metroid
Mapping Metroid returns to tackle one of the oldest - and deadliest - areas in the series: Ridley's Lair from NEStroid! We're back almost 40 years to examine the layout of this area, how it serves as a skill-checking gauntlet run for the player, the creepy and unsettling music and how it adds to the atmosphere, if this hideout could have used a few more items and expansions, our favorite rooms ans the trickery involved in them, and of course, the epic(?) showdown with the earliest version of Ridley!
All this, PLUS some ROM-Hack talk, Zero Mission comparisons, a new Doom game rumored, and a debate over the recently released Furiosa! Come and hear out thoughts and let us know what you think of Ridley's Lair!

Episode 214 - Interviewing Grant "Stemage" Henry of Metroid Metal!
We have a very special guest joining us in the virtual studio this week; Grant Henry aka Stemage, the creator of Metroid Metal! Stemage has been composing metal variations of Metroid’s iconic music for over 20 years. While nowadays you’ll mostly find him doing freelance work for several projects such as BIT.TRIP RERUNNER and Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story, Stemage is still touring to this day with the rest of the Metroid Metal band doing live shows! Join our discussion with the man himself as we talk about the origins of Metroid Metal and how it evolved into a full band, what we love so much about the music of the series, our hopes and dreams for Metroid Prime 4 and… Dr. Mario?
All of that and more can be found in this nearly 2 HOUR conversation! This is one episode you definitely don’t want to miss!

Episode 213 - We Answer Your Questions In Metroid Q&A!
We're kicking it old school this week with a classic Dak & Andy joint, answering all of YOUR fan questions! Some of the topics on tap: If Hunters were to ever to be remade, aside from controls, what improvements could be made? If Dread was priced lower, would it have sold more copies? Would it veer make sense to rebrand the series as the 'Samus Aran' series to get more exposure? How could the Space Jump boots be improved in a Metroid Prime game? Was Nintendo justified in announcing Metroid Prime 4 so early? How has the wait for Prime 4 felt over the past 7 years? Do we like playing the Prime Trilogy on Hard difficulty, and if so, why?
These are just a handful of the topics on tap for today, so make sure to tune in as we cover a whole wide array of things around the Metroid universe!

Customer Reviews
They’ve come a long way!
At the start of the podcast, I was kind of not interested in the podcast. But Andy has been really improving in my opinion and the past 30 episodes have been awesome! They’ve gone from a 2-Star podcast to a 5-Star podcast. You guys are awesome!
Great podcast
I really enjoy this podcast! Maybe you could talk about Hollow Knight... I believe it's the best metroidvania of all time.
Amazing!
I heard about you from Hello Hyrule and loved your show! Have you ever played a Metroid randomizer? Your show got me to try one and would hope one day you talk about them!
