Lite Switch: Jan 1, 2025 | Screentime: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Review

Join Mike and Jaymo for a special episode of The Old SwitchAroo: Lite Switch, where they take a break from their usual deep dives into the Nintendo Switch Online catalog to share what gaming and gaming-related activities they've been up to during the offseason.

In this special SPOILER-FILLED episode, the boys are joined by two lifelong Sonic fans, Jaymo’s brothers Justin & Jonathan, to recap and review the 2024 hit movie, Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

After a quick rundown of Sonic’s various multimedia appearances over the last three decades, our panel spin-dashes through nearly every aspect of the blockbuster threequel, from its eye-catching posters, amusing Japanese rebranding, subversive Cyberpunk easter egg, and even a scene-by-scene recap of the movie that’s got everyone across the country rushing to their local cinema.

Thanks for tuning in, and a very special thanks to Kristal Fields of The Lazy Circles for our catchy theme song! Don't forget to subscribe or follow us on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to podcasts so you're ready for the exciting launch of Season 3.
