Which of the X-Men would be the biggest bummer of a roommate? Is King Bob-Omb's rule officially recognized by the Mushroom Kingdom or is Bob-Omb Battlefield a sovereign nation? Debate This! asks the kind of bold and heroic questions about your favorite video games and comics that no other podcast would dare ask. Although, it's probably because other people have better things to do than argue which color of Yoshi is the best color of Yoshi. In this show, no one is right, but someone is definitely wrong.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-17T04:17:46.301668+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/debate-this-66046"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 191: Consequences of Whimsymaxxing","slug":"ep-191-consequences-of-whimsymaxxing","published_at":"2026-04-21T14:55:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/debate-this-66046/ep-191-consequences-of-whimsymaxxing","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/debate-this-66046","url":"https://debatethis.libsyn.com/ep-191-consequences-of-whimsymaxxing","audio_url":"https://pdcn.co/e/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/debatethis/SSBCU.mp3?dest-id=666941","summary":"Six whole years ago, in February of 2020, James Marsden, Jim Carrey and Sonic the Hedgehog sparked an idea in our heads. With box office hits like Sonic and Detective Pikachu, a Super Smash Bros. Cinematic Universe felt inevitable. Well, after half a decade of corporate slop and two Chris Pratt Mario movies, an SSB-CU just isn't as appealing as it used to be. Despite that, we're pitching one anyway. So, you're welcome, I guess. Matt is doing Rocky but Nintendo. Todd is doing Star Wars but Nintendo. Andrew is doing something else. The title of this week's episode was selected by our Patrons in our Discord Community!
