This week we indulge in ~ interpretive ~ podcasting as the boys venture through the realm of music. Will the Disney worlds end on a high note, or be forcibly yanked off the stage?

The plot recurses into itself Sora and Riku visit France… again! Where they run into some old friends who don’t recognize them… again! Oh, and they do the thing with the swords.

Let’s all go to the lobby, let’s all go to the lobby… to give ourselves a brain aneurysm. This week we look at the cutscene compilation for Re:Coded from Kingdom Hearts 2.5 to compare and contrast what’s presented versus the base game. Speaking of recaps, we give a quick debrief on our PAX panel at the start!

Secret bosses! Trophies! Fetch quests! This week we discuss all the extra bits and bobs to wrap up the game play portion of Re:Coded.

The end is nigh!!... or is it? Sora plays Choose Your Adventure as Castle Oblivion prepares him for a world of hurt.

Finally, a World Tour contextualized in-game! Sora retreads his journey thus far to reclaim his data while Data Riku starts to feel! All seems well in the end… or does it?

It’s Pete’s Ninja Warrior as we return to Hollow Bastion, but data! Can Sora get by without his trusty Keyblade, or could he use a little help from his friends?

Is this the most Agrabahstic of them all? Jafar turns Bridezilla and Genie joins the party in another data-filled adventure.
