Boy oh boy do we hope you like tangent episodes because this one is chock full of em! We talk about monsters from our childhood, real life monsters and a lot of very thinly related things. We also do talk about Monster Hunter World and what it contains within and if we like it or not…eventually we do.

We are now 1 episode away from #100 and we still don’t know what to do to celebrate it. Lets be honest, probably nothing.

This week sees the return of a previous guest that Kyle & Ryan enjoy immensely. Alex from Chicago returns and he brought a lot of booze with him. He also watched the wrong movie (He watched “Big Trouble” from a few episodes ago) so they spend part of this episode talking about that movie again. #Russellfest continues on and they do eventually discuss the title episode albeit briefly. A revisit is probably do to give this one justice. Thanks for listening we hope you enjoy Alex as much as we did.

So let’s get the cat out of the bag, Kyle & Ryan don’t like Final Fantasy 9. That said they only hate this game for a short time, while also discussing a lot of classic RPG’s and lesser known hits and spend some time breaking down Michael Bay Transformer movies for some reason. It is a really fun an interesting episode but if you Love Final Fantasy 9 it’s going to make you mad. Spoiler Warning I guess…

For the first episode of our annual best of Kyle & Ryan try to cram in talking about as many games as possible. They have switched the format up this year instead of a “Top5” list they have instead opted to only list their #1 and then also discuss the other games they really liked and the ones that they didn’t like that much either. It is a classic EG episode with tangents, foul language and maybe some off color jokes. We can’t wait for you to hear it.
