Holy shit, this one was too fun and too long...
It's episode 50!!! And with me to celebrate are Kyle Nolla, Alex Cohen, and Eric Schulkin. We talk about an awesome Twitch charity for a trans support org, the fucking Gillete ad, the infuriating lack of gamecube games/virtual console on the Switch, and for our main topic we talk A LOT about Super Smash Brothers Ultimate.
In our Smash conversation Kyle tells us about how Nintendo is interacting with the Smash Brothers grassroots scene, her PhD research (in which she studies Smash Bros. play), as well as her direct experiences with sexism as a researcher and commentator. We also talk about how awesome the game is, like a lot.
