I had the occasion to meet and interview Contra overlord Nobuya Nakazato at Tokyo Game Show a few days ago, which was a treat. Sadly, though, it came a little too late for him to provide any useful insights for this particular episode, which was recorded a couple of months ago. Oh well! It is, nevertheless, a pretty good episode, featuring an old-school lineup of participants to discuss a franchise that's been long overdue for examination.
Description: Jeremy Parish, Bob Mackey, Ray Barnholt, and Shane Bettenhausen use the Konami Code to tackle the challenge of recapping the Contra series, just in time for the latest entry in the franchise.
Edit: Podcast updated to fix missing audio at the 15-minute mark.
