On this episode, we dive into the "woke" discourse surrounding Assassin's Creed Shadows. We argue that if Metroid came out today, the internet would melt down over Samus being a woman. We also discuss the Nintendo Switch 2 rumors (paying for a tech demo?!), Ubisoft rushing to patch nudity back into Far Cry 4, and John Schaffer (Iced Earth) becoming a born-again Christian.

For the reviews, Mitchell struggles through the Christian Progressive Metal of Extol (Undeceived)—rating it "3 inverted crosses"—while Ethan finally tackles the prog-metal masterpiece, Mastodon's Crack the Skye.
