Maximum Utcast – 25 – A Zoo For Kittens, Horses, Lynx, Foxes, and Dragons

Take a walk on the wild side with the Maximum Utcast as we tour through the menagerie of exotic beasts. We talk mildly about GTA6 and wildly about Red Dead Redemption 2’s horse ball physics before opening the floor to a great debate about the N64 vs. the PS1. Later, the state of the Atari Lynx is discussed and we go deep on Mega Man. Sarah Carapace visits the show to discuss some of the identity crisis facing the Double Dragon series, while focusing on the game Double Dragon Advance (read more about that at the link below). Sweary 65 gets invoked and then we try to find the connections between Chibi Robo, Toy Story, and Small Soldiers.

Daniel is a podcast producer and musician who spends way too much time in the edit to make audio sound as good as possible. He’s cutting the “umms” and “uhhhs” and replacing them with cartoon sound effects. His taste in video games is often extremely specific, and he’s recently learned that a lot of his opinions about video games are bad and wrong, but that won’t stop him from having them. His music was featured in Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. He's been producing podcasts since 2021.
