Join us in as we revisit the strange and sentimental world of: EarthBound!  There's lots to talk about with this cult classic, from its bizarre "scratch and sniff" marketing campaign to how it somehow successfully blends Lovecraftian horror with wide-eyed childlike innocence.  We explore the surreal and nostalgic Jungian dreamscape of Magicant, then remark on the absurdity of fighting a sentient pile of puke with psionics.  Come along for this eerie-yet-earnest ride.
