    YTS 0048: Gastral Projecting (Kirby: Right Back At Ya! s1e05, “Beware of Whispy Woods!”)

    Look inside yourself to find this episode of YTS, glowing with blue spirit energy, ready to grow into a forest of wild knowledge. Neither Ferngully nor Innerspace have anything on this allegedly-cute cartoon, and… honestly, none of our prior work has prepared us for what we saw in this one. Also, we’re pretty sure Kirby farted.Music Credits:- Our theme song is a cover of "Hydrocity Zone" from Sonic 3, by Dave Donkin and Goodknight Productions: https://www.youtube.com/user/GoodknightProd- “Kirby Kirby Kirby!” theme by Norman J. Grossfeld and Ralph Shuckett- Excerpts from Kirby: Right Back At Ya! and other sources are copyright their respective owners.

    This is a big one, y’all! Your Two Hosts go full-on National Treasure to find hidden words, double agents, and the secret themes hidden within Mount Rushmore’s iconic Kirby sculpture. Metaknight is maybe Nic Cage? Caleb is the map. We debut a NEW SEGMENT and get real about Sonic and Kirby’s origins and game design styles, and the effect these have had on their public perception. And we explore Kirby’s approach to anxiety! Breathe deep and buckle up!Some other good media things we mentioned: Supergirl: Being Super by Mariko Tamaki, Wandersong, and Celeste.Two good  Metal Gear pieces: “Driving off the Map” by James Clinton Howell: http://www.deltaheadtranslation.com/MGS2/DOTM_TOC.htm “Metal Gear: The Kotaku Retrospective” and other pieces by Heather Alexandra: http://www.kotaku.co.uk/2018/09/05/metal-gear-the-kotaku-retrospective.“Kingdom Hearts III Is An Unreviewable Video Game” by Tim Rogers for Kotaku: https://kotaku.com/kingdom-hearts-iii-is-an-unreviewable-video-game-1831985374

CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER jk we’re doing both and it’s fun!Music Credits:- Our theme song is a cover of "Hydrocity Zone" from Sonic 3, by Dave Donkin and Goodknight Productions: https://www.youtube.com/user/GoodknightProd- Excerpts from Sonic Underground and Smash Bros.
