The Sonic Show

Sorry for the absence recently guys! We have been on vacation! Until we return to normal routines next week, we thought it was a perfect chance to catch up with the talented Jim Sass. Jim founded Sasso Studios (currently uploading videogame fun on youtube) and made the hugely popular Return To Little Planet short film. He joins us to discuss the world of Sonic fan films. Will there every be a good one, or has there already been one?!

Well, we never thought this would happen. We indeed have the meme that took over the Sonic world in 2013 on the show. And I must say, he was a delight to talk to! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theopinionzone/message

After destroying Amy's couch, Sonic and Knuckles enter a "best friend" game show in order to win her a new one. Unfortunately, the show pairs Sonic up with Eggman, and Eggman has a few evil tricks up his sleeve.

Every Sonic fan has this one moment in their life. The first Sonic game they ever played. The Opinion crew all discuss their "first time" showing how much older some are in the group. We also have a SONIC MISADVENTURES themed Defeat Donnie. How well does Donnie and our guest know their fan animations?! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theopinionzone/message

Let the Sonic X fans get their pitchforks out!

Here us out first! Is it a great game? No. However it isn't 100% awful surely? Is it really an average game that combined with being the first "next gen" Sonic, and over hyped by the fans, just led to a heightened disappointment? All we know, is that we played it recently and thought, "Oh this isn't all that bad". Maybe we are just mad. There are two very different opinions this episode, we would love to know where you side on this discussion! Also in today's episode we have a Voice Actor themed 'Defeat Donnie' and one of Uncle Poxxy's emails turns into a live phone call! Oh, and we also have a really heart felt email from a listener who isn't having a great time, and things get emotional. We love you guys! If you have a question for Uncle Poxxy or want to appear on Defeat Donnie (skype required), message us at thesonicshow (at) gmail.com or message us on Facebook. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theopinionzone/message

A troll is a supernatural being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore. They are most commonly known to hide under bridges, and since roughly the 2000's have found access to the internet. Today Segasky aka Skyler (best known for our "Top 5 games fans like that are really terrible") joins us to discuss why comments sections seem to always have haters in them. Plus we all bring to the show our own personal favourite hate comment we have received. Plus while Donnie rests from his win last week, a viewer gets the chance to represent The Sonic Show comments section and play Sabotage Skyler! And as always we jump into Uncle Poxxys helpline. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theopinionzone/message

It's sunday which means it's time to chat Boom! Kevin, Donnie and Cat delve through episode 38 of Sonic Boom today while also looking up some out of date TVtropes! If you want to here the episode commentary itself, head over to The Sonic Show youtube channel!

How old are you? Let me just explain that I am 28 and when I was a teenager, the community looked very different. Fansites out the wazoo, "figure heads" of the community. It was a lovely time, forward over a decade later and what do we have? Fansites other than the top tier have died out, forums are barely existent like they use to be. Is that the community has died, due to things like "glory" years of Sonic going and kids now growing up with games like Rise of Lyric, or is just the community does need to exist in the form it use to? Why have a close knit group of people when you have social media and things like twitter. Things that didnt exist back then? It's with great pleasure we get to discuss this with Sonic Yoda and Roareye Black. The first ran one of original Sonic fansites while the latter was part of The Sonic Stadium team, owner of the original Sonic Sprites Network and cohost on of the communities first online radio shows, "The Sonic Hour" We play Defeat Donnie which has a result you will NOT be expecting. And we call the Uncle Poxxy hotline and find out if it's ok to ship Dragon Ball Z with Sonic and which Sonic character we would like under the covers! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theopinionzone/message

A silly question maybe to some. We see the fanboys everywhere, but with the recent news that a YouGov poll found more women to be fans of Sonic than men, we were just curious where are they? Is the Sonic community too male focused. How many female Sonic youtubers or podcasters do you see? Why does the female voice seem that bit quieter? Maybe it's because the female audience express their fandom is more artistic less "look at me" ways, maybe it's because this poll was wildly wrong. All we know is, what better group of people to discuss than a podcast of 5 men. cough Also we have the worlds MOST TENSE DEFEAT DONNIE EVER! And Uncle Poxxy gets serious when a letter writes in asking about Sonic Misadventures. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theopinionzone/message

Did you know there was company that makes glasses has released Sonic branded ones? Neither did we. Because it's super boring and dull. It's almost as though we recorded this episode a week ago at the same time at episode 10 because we were on holiday this week. ANYWAY, Tom is confronted with his hateful language, we have a special guest on Defeat Donnie and ask Uncle Poxxy discusses whether we should stick our winkies in our flat mates plushies.... WE CAN'T ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD EPISODE DEAL WITH IT. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theopinionzone/message
