The pure devastation in emilys voice learning shes not manic is just perfect
Almost 5 years later: Ma-nic So-nia So-nic Ma-nia
looking at the english ep titles vs the french ones is pretty funny. No Hedgehog Is an Island (Dur comme la pierre), and New Echidna in Town (Dur, Dur-Dur) for example
Did Jake name his dog after this random sonic underground henchman guy?
Lower decks on paramount is pretty good
Love that this has Jake with his balls almost out right after Henry Hogfish has his popping out.
Confirmed Jake pods nude from the waist down
Caldwell called Sonic Prime 40:00 ish
you say that cw needs to limit the family relationships for love triangles but i think that in riverdale they fully have cousins going at it and the twins are ????
“They gotta fuck, and kiss”
"it's almost like it's a low priority for them to label the episodes properly" says the people who upload audio files with no metadata whatsoever
I do think that sometimes when shows cross the language barrier into an English dub, the episode order gets messed up. I've been watching Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug & Cat Noir and the order is clearly wrong. Villians are refference before their introduction episode. Its quite annoying.
DICE CHRIST THY WILL BE DONE
What is the deal with Paramount +. They keep saying it's not an endorsement, did P+ do something?
Normal-ass shorts for a normal-ass dude
"Think of the coolest guy imaginable - Michael Jackson - BUT he's a hedgehog and he's fighting against Teddy Roosevelt." - This line broke me completely.
You can watch the first 24 episodes on YouTube I believe. Not "legally" but people upload them
I had to watch some clips of the show after you guys talked about it and what a weird show. Apparently there was more than one beach episode I saw a clip from another one with a terrible song and some weird sexual tension between the pink and the green one where she was in her bikini straddling his back giving him a massage.
The intro inspired me to relisten through 8BBC so once again I find myself ugly sobbing with laughter as quietly as possible because I'm a dumb who listens at work. That story about that poor person putting on the Zelda shadow prince episode in the car with their mom on the way to their grandma's funeral still absolutely kills me. If you all ever decided to do 8BBC episodes as occasional mixed bags, I would be so happy
I watched so much of this show in 2013 with my nephew because it was all on Netflix, starting with actual ep 1
I loved this show as a kid and had an absolute blast listening to their review. Had to hold back the chuckles whilst at work
Me: “I’m not deep into sonic, but I’ll give it a listen” They explain the show Me: “oh my god I used to watch this!” *deep memories unlock and flood me*
Thanks so much for the 8bit book club callback. I'm already halfway through relistening to the backlog again. Emily's intro always makes me smile like a goober. More 'unofficial' 8BBC featuring special guest Jake Herwitz in the mixed bag feed would be wonderful.
Well gang if the 8 bit book club podcast gets 1000 reviews on iTunes Caldwell’s dad will be on a podcastS only 400 to go
the 8 bit book club intro got me 🥺
I looked it up on Google and SU has a 4.2 rating. Apparently people love this show.
It always hurts my heart in such a nice way to hear the 8bit book club intro ❤
I just saw cute fanart of sonia and manic the other day!
I, for the life of me, can not figure out which episode this is. I've watched episode 25, nope Episode titled no hedgehog is an island Episode 1 If anyway figured it out, I want to watch this for reference
Looks like it’s episode 16 “friend or foe”
I had a Caldwell Oh My God moment at the 8bbc theme.
My heart SOARED hearing that theme song again!
I really love Emily's vocals on the theme song.
This was perfect timing since I was just re-listening to some 8 Bit Book Club! My roommate probably thinks I'm crazy for laughing out loud with my earphones in
Oh no, I watched this and the next two eps of SU and I liked them? Our manic pixie dream hog DRUMS AWAY A TORNADO?! Poor Sonia is still underserved tho
nearly cried to that you mother FUCKERS
There was a "dark" Sonic cartoon; it only ran for two seasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_(TV_series)
God I love it when Murph loses his shit
So we're just gonna skate by jake having red-green colorblindness a bit? Right?
This episode of sonic underground (and others) is on YouTube for anyone who wants to hear the rad intro and the no hedgehog is an island reggae songs
I’m legit crying at Murph going off on Jake’s boxers
8 bit book club makes me so happy I’m irrationally thrilled that the theme song is back
Holy fuck I almost cried at work after listening to the opening of this sode!!! Also you didn’t mention how one of the henchmen was sooo in love with Sonia!!!! (This memory has cursed me for years....)
8-Bit Book Buds!!! WOO!
OK the bit at the end with Jake and his shorts 🤣😂🤣😂 I was laughing at too hard at that bit for sure. I always wondered why this sonic cartoon was so very strange (and bad) compared to the other 2 (one was dark and had an interesting story, the other was extra looney toons style).
Hearing them talk about triplets and love triangles and CW really made me think of Charmed lmao
AAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!! How I've missed that theme song
DAMN the 8 bit book club theme took me off guard
This episode was so funny, it really made me miss 8 bit book club 💔
Y'all truly should go and make a Sonic Metal City Underground One-Shot for Thanksgiving or something... Permanent Haste for everybody, maybe?
I’m all in for the permanent haste. Great idea.
Ugh, Emily being both bashful and pleased about her enjoyment of this is so funny and adorable. All hail the Lord of Chaos!
Dunno if someone has already pointed this out, but going back to MANIC and SONIA’s names: splitting them in half gives you SO NIC and MA NIA. Sonic Mania is a game that came out in 2017. Crazy to think how far ahead they were planning.
This is a joke right?
@Jake You were in an episode with the proper intro. That means you're not guesting anymore, you're an 8bits book bud This show was super cringy in French. It was called "Sonic le rebelle" and smelled like desperation to appear cool and edgy. Sonic had this shitty exageratted teen voice that switched to a blatantly middle aged one for the songs. Joueur du Grenier (French AVGN) made a very fun video about it (it has English subtitles) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgSX5X52Cs4&ab_channel=JoueurDuGrenier
I started playing this while I was still lying in bed this morning and I leaped out while shouting YUS-AH! When I heard that intro
8BIT BOOK CLUB 😭 Gang, you just made my week with that intro!
As soon as you mentionned the gun instruments I realised that I had seen an episode of this ages ago... in the original French, because I'm French. From what I remember that didn't make it any less insane.
https://youtu.be/_Uko0fCp86c Link to a video about Michael Jackson's involvement in Sonic 3.
The intro made me so happy but when Jake said he was deep in the Wikipedia page, I knew we were deep into 8bit territory! Also, I minored in Video Game Studies and if I remember correctly, we learned in VG history that Sonic was Sega's response to Nintendo's Mario. He was supposed to attract an older edgier audience. Anybody remembers: "Sega does what Nintendon't"? (But please don't quote me on this)
I was starting to get into the 8 bit book club archive and I was pleasantly surprised by the intro
Not me almost crying at the intro 😂
As someone that just discovered and almost finished all of 8bit book club in about 2 months that intro made me feel so confused in the best way possible
Mad nostalgia I’m going to cry
I nearly cried at that intro. The flashbacks!
The sweeties are back!
Weird that it doesn't start with episode 1 on Paramount plus. They're all free on YouTube legitimately on the WildBrain channel. Guess P+ only has the later half.
I got about 45 seconds in after the theme song. It's not great.
the theme song. holy shit. i just had vivid sensory flashbacks to walking around coventry in late summer 2018 eating the greatest pretzel in the world and listening to the mortal kombat episode where emily plays her song about sub zero
the thing with mj and the sonic soundtrack was that mj didn't like the sound quality of the sega and didn't want his name tied to it
Murph unironically could take the idea of the sonic underground universe and make a good campaign from it
Hi i hope you all know hearing the 8bit theme made me tear up /pos <333333
I had never heard of Sonic underground and listened to the intro thinking it'd be just a fun doot doot. No it is quite possibly the GREATEST rock ballad for a goddamn 90's cartoon that could've ever been written.
what does this episode of mixed bag and Sonic Underground have in common?: having the best intro theme songs of all time
That last bit with Jake's shorts. I was laughing so hard I could not catch my breath
Oh you should watch sonic X! You’ll get a kick outta that one
I did send them a sonicX dvd before their old podcast ended. So Caldwell may have that somewhere
I thought this mixed bag was very funny about some old sonic show and was curious what the character designs looked like. Looked it up and omg I’ve 100% watched and loved this show as a kid but I remember NOTHING about it.
Sonic Underground ruled. I legit listen to the intro sometimes, just to get pumped up.
Yall better watch the first episode one day
Hey so, I was RIGHT in the demographic this was aimed at and you guys have brought me soooooo much nostalgia. As sooon as I saw the theme of this mixed bag I broke into song!
Damn Freddy, that ending. Brilliantly savage
I agree with Emily sonic underground was amazing
They gone and done it. They made a podcast about that book!
Slapped with that book club theme brings tears 😢
Gasped so loud at the intro song!! I still listen to 8bbc all the time. It’s cool, it’s hip, and I enjoyed it!!
i’ve been relistening to 8bbc as it’s my favorite podcast and the WHIPLASH i just felt when i heard the intro was immaculate
the only thing that would make this better is if emily had dental work right before it
That ending though!😆
YOU FUCKERS MADE ME DARK NUT OVER HERE 8BBC THEME GAVE ME WHIPLASH
As someone who has been listening to 8-bit book club to fall asleep pretty much every night for the last 2+ years this intro on new content made me so happy
Wow can't believe I'm not the only person to do this. I was so familiar with the 8bit intro honestly I didn't even notice that they had used it this mixed bag until I listened back hahaha.
As someone who vaguely remembers this show, this is great.
Guys, I was not emotionally ready for the 8 Bit intro!
THEY MADE A BOOK ABOUT A VIDEO GAME
Re-roll the hog!
I’m Malcolm Gladwell
Thank the Lords papa murr has blessed us this fine day
8 BIT YESS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
That intro got me right in the feels, and I loved it.
YES!!! 8bit Book Club X NADDPOD crossover!! Love the intro!!!
I was just thinking about sonic underground last week out of nowhere shhskssh
Intro brings back memories
8bit book club intro <3
The intro!😭😭
