With no further ado, Lee and Josh continue their fascinating odyssey into the annals (steady on) of Disney history with a casual, over-the-shoulder glance at the cartoons that made Mickey the Mouse he is today. Got Spam? Fax us! ghzpodcast@gmail.com!
With Nathan giving college football the ol' college try, Lee and Josh have a very British conversation - or, 'a bit of a natter' - about Sega's Walt Disney's Land of Illusion for the Master System which, of course, stars Mickey Mouse, along with some other characters we nearly forget about. In addition, thoughts and feelings are shared re: Sonic Colo(u)rs Ultimate, approx. three years late. Next week: Cartoon Time™! Got Spam? Fax us! ghzpodcast@gmail.com!
Grind your herbs and grab your typewriters as we celebrate the Spooktober Season by replaying the original survival horror experience: Capcom's 1996 smash-hit videogame nasty Resident Evil. Halloween-eeded (ugh, sorry) some help with this one, so big shout out to our old pal Bo for stepping in to edit! Thoughts? Feelings? Hatemail? ghzpodcast@gmail.com!
Tonight: the thrilling conclusion to our Elden Ring escapades! Our Far East correspondent Locit reports in to discuss the new(ish) Down Loadable Content Shadow of the Erdtree, described by some as "a pulse-pounding rollercoaster ride of curséd lands, spilled fruits, and twink demigods". Thoughts? Feelings? Hatemail? ghzpodcast@gmail.com!
Against a timely backdrop of World Cups and loud curries, Lee shares some first impressions on fantasy blockbuster Elden Ring, the "Dark Souls of Zeldas" - or possibly the "Zelda of Dark Soulses", we haven't decided. Either way, we can all agree it's definitely the "Hot Sauce of Videogames" (trademark pending). Next week: the Horse Armor episode... Thoughts? Feelings? Hatemail? ghzpodcast@gmail.com!
After years of tireless campaigning, Nathan finally convinces Lee and Josh to play the critically-acclaimed smash hit Sega videogame, Yakuza 0 - the sixth entry in the increasingly popular, and also increasingly bizarre, Like A Dragon series. Substories, shakedowns, secret heat actions... all this and more, as the chaps share their first impressions on Mr. Nagoshi's "not-too-prequelly" prequel. Thoughts? Feelings? Hatemail? ghzpodcast@gmail.com!
In which Josh and Lee are ambushed by a hitherto unknown Sonic-related debate (which starts at approx. 20 minutes in, by the way, if you value your time more than we do), following some startling revelations about third spaces, responsible drinking, and pudding culture. Tuck in! Thoughts? Feelings? Hatemail? Email us: ghzpodcast@gmail.com!
We're back, Dear Listeners - and we hear you! Tonight, we finally get round to extinguishing (some of) your burning questions - and, much like popular video game Sonic CD, it's about time. How do we feel about Mammoth Mogul? What's our perfect chili dog? And when will we record next? Turn on, tune in, find out (probably). Thoughts? Feelings? Hatemail? Email us: ghzpodcast@gmail.com!
We wish you a Merry Holidays, and a Happy New... Episode?! Our gifts to you, Dear Listeners: medium-strength feelings about Sega's surprise announcements at The Geoff Awards, another "Sonic Speedrun" to get all caught up, and a cosy little chat about our favourite seasonal movies (intentional or otherwise). PARENTAL ADVISORY: contains strong references to Tim Allen.
With Nathan lost at sea, our GHZ-oldbie pal Locit joins us from lands afar to engage in a pleasant, constructive, and well-reasoned ramble on the eagerly-anticipated Sonic Superstars, released last month to rave reviews (for a given value of "rave"). Additionally, we take a cursory glance at sudden development Sonic Dream Team, and old feuds are reignited along the way. Feel like playing co-op? Come hang out in the Discord! https://discord.gg/Gkh4Kaaatw
Boy, do we (finally) have a show for you, Dear Listeners: animated feature reviews, cool adult PS5 chat, a nippy new segment called The Sonic Speedrun, and also a bit where we talk about a new segment that we might do, but we haven't decided yet. Thrills, chills and spills - but no Sonic Superstars review, that's next month. Probably.
Scandals aplenty at GHZ Heights this month as we chew over the recent Sega of America 1996 document leaks, plus some startling developments in the popular Sonic the Hedgehog videogame series for home consoles.

Email us! ~GHZPodcast at gmail dot com~
Suddenly, and also three weeks late (approx.), the GHZ fellas wax lyrical about national anthems, GotG (pronounced "got-GUH") & DADHAT (pronounced "DADHAT"), and current affairs in kingdoms both 'United' and 'of Hyrule'. Additionally, Nathan learns about "pennying a pint", and is disgusted. Thoughts? Feelings? All of the above? Email us! ~GHZPodcast at gmail dot com~
Hiatus? I'm sure you do - we've been gone ages! It's time to spring forth and join the fellas at GHZ HQ once again, as we chat about the 1991 Disney action game (featuring Mickey Mouse), as well as the upcoming Sonic Origins Plus, the legacy of Rockman.exe, and Spider-Man's flagrant disregard for human life. Thoughts? Feelings? All of the above? Email us!
