Episode 54 - Sonic Meets the Enneagram

It’s Sonic the Hedgehog meets the Enneagram! Jason has made personality matches for a swath of Sonic-universe characters, and Sonic himself got the title of Peacemaker. Why did Jason decide this was a fitting label for the speedster?

Episode 46 - The Dragon Prince Revisited

in

After all our early hyping of the animated show The Dragon Prince, we ceased to talk about it as its final seasons released. Let’s just say our thoughts have changed. We review the show, discussing the good and the bad, and comparing it to the show it was designed to resemble, Avatar: the Last Airbender.

SPOILER ALERT: this episode contains spoilers for the ending of both The Dragon Prince and Avatar: the Last Airbender. We begin the episode with a bit of spoiler-free territory, describing the show, it’s creation, and plot points covered in the first few episodes. Then, we discuss any potential content concerns for Christian viewers (6:33-10:10), and finally transition into our spoiler-heavy review (10:45+).
