Show notes

We've been at it a year and somehow it feels like we've only just begun! On this special episode of the Maximum Utcast, we learn about Friendslop, meatslop, and maybe some non-stoppable rhythm? John-Charles Holmes of Nintendo Force and The Yetee stops by to talk about the history of the Rhythm Heaven series and how the new game, Rhythm Heaven Groove fits in (you can watch that as a video here: https://youtu.be/vkQV5hTBcv0 ). Elsewhere, Jonathan wonders if the kids these days will be alright as he goes on a multi-store adventure looking for Splatoon Raiders. And we talk a lot about Taco Bell.
