Michael and Bernard try to talk about their first foray into the recent Sonic Boom cartoon, but they keep getting distracted by the maelstrom of pan-media artistry that is March 2017.

As the United States confronts a new, nightmarish political landscape, Bernard and Michael fight the only way they know how: by sloppily plotting Sonic characters onto a reductive political compass. Then, they discuss Episode 3 of Sonic SatAM, and how it's actually good.
On this very special (and very late) episode of The Zone Zone, holiday spirit is in the air as Michael and Bernard discuss two seasonally-appropriate works of Sonic media. One is extremely bad, but the other is pretty good!
This week, Bernard is replaced by local JRPG scholar and certified soft boy Jared Evans! He and Michael discuss the other, much better 1993 Sonic cartoon, commonly known as "Sonic SatAM." Let's do it to it!

In the first episode of The Zone Zone, recorded on US Election Day, Bernard and Michael discuss the weird and wonderful 1993 book "Stay Sonic." Oblivious to America's impending doom, they search for Sonic's planet in real life, unearth the secrets of the Chaos Emeralds, and are creeped out by Eggman's weird stink.
