Send us a Question!MOVIE DISCUSSION:  Sonic's speeding back into theaters, and this time we're in agreement: Sonic the Hedgehog 2's kind of great!  Topics:Daniel reflects on how he was in the minority with Sonic the Hedgehog, but that's old news because Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is pretty good!Our theater crowds were 75% kids, 20% adults, and 10% video game nerds and podcasters.The comedy in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is more absurd and downright goofy.Sonic the Hedgehog 2 contains some extremely well-done CGI, as well as clearly unfinished sequences where animated characters mouths stutter, or human characters are improperly input into CGI sequences.The Sonic video game franchise is celebrated for having some of the best, most creative video game soundtracks, so why are the movie soundtracks so bland?Talking about the mid-credits scene and what to expect for the future of Sonic on the big screen!For Daniel, the mid-credits scene was the third most excited he's ever seen a crowded theater only behind Avengers: Endgame and Evil Dead (2013), even more than Spider-Man: No Way Home.The Sonic franchise has countless stories (needlessly well written and interestingly complicated ones) for these movies to draw from, leaving both Melvin & Daniel excited for what future installments may contain.Discussing the horrible nightmare that would be a Super Smash Bros. universe of films, and how that's a terrible, awful, and completely bad idea.Recommendations:CSB Study BibleCompany Man (YouTube Channel)Old Enough!
