  • Jolly Good Podcast

    Always tuning in on Saturday (and did you know they also do a Tuesday and Thursday Headlines for an hour? Shocker I know) and a wonderful time to listen in. Consider them to be the most respectful and level headed people to listen to with whatever madness is happening. Cheers

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 296 | "Dev Direct is a Playground"
Q: What happens if EA can't pay back the 20 billion debt and what will PIF do once they acquire EA?
If EA cannot pay its debt, PIF may close down studios that don't align with their beliefs or agenda, but will probably not sell IP, as it is too valuable.
Episode 293 | "HR prefers to call it Overtime"
Q: What is a series of films/games/shows where you liked the first ones but not any of the later entries?
True Detective is a prime example where season one was brilliant, but later seasons faltered.
Episode 292 | "A Divine Show" w/ Rand al Thor19
Q: What did you think of the Street Fighter trailer that premiered at the Game Awards?
I hated everything about Street Fighter, which pains me to say it as I'm a Street Fighter guy.
Episode 291 | "The Lesser of Two Evils?"
Q: What video game spinoff would you love to see someday?
A Halo Metroidvania game could be incredible.
Episode 291 | "The Lesser of Two Evils?"
