This week! We mourn the closure of Toys R Us by sharing our (and our listeners’) memories of the debt-straddled merchant’s brighter days. Then we talk a little Sega, a little Sonic, a little Microsoft, lament how old we are that we don’t know what words mean in the age of influencers, and we chat about Kirby Star Allies, LEGO Dimensions and more. Join us, won’t you?
