Turnabout Breakdown – Details, episodes & analysis

Turnabout Breakdown is a podcast about Ace Attorney that comes in two parts:

1.0 - Jay Castello and Diego Argüello take a broad, analytical view as two media critics, one with a long history with the game and one as a newcomer. Also, it's finished! We did it!

2.0 - Jay, Devon, Adam, and Rho get way down into the details, start making jokes, and accidentally record for 5 hours. Coming November 12!

Where you start is up to you, but there's more details in the episode :)

A quick note from Scheduling Jay, writing long in the future after this episode came out -- I don't remember what I said about what's coming next and I also still am not ready to make an announcement so :) watch this space I guess!!

Jay and Diego finish The Great Ace Attorney and also the first season of Turnabout Breakdown (until...?). There's a reveal that makes Jay lose their mind. It's been long enough since we recorded this that I don't remember anything else that happens but Diego and I have been memeing about my reaction to the reveal (that I already knew was coming!!) for months so. Enjoy.

Intro and outro music is Drifting Korners by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joseph McDade⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Jay and Diego travel back in time to see just how godawful the British Empire was. Diego is exploring some branching timelines. Jay is once again measuring swings.

I mentioned an article about the fan translation of this game and I cannot find it at all, possibly because it was on USGamer and their archives were taken down. Corporate ownership of media sucks.

It's not our fault the episode is called that it's literally what happens in the game. Jay is finding a surprisingly coherent message around truth. Diego is excited about a sick fire dragon.
