The Kaito & Red Show
The Kaito & Red Show is a laid-back, weekly gaming podcast where two friends — one in Scotland, the other in Canada — dive into the games they’re playing, what’s new in the world of gaming, and tackle the all-important Question of the Week.
Each hour-long episode is a casual, unfiltered conversation between Kaito and Red, full of honest opinions, personal stories, the occasional rant, and plenty of laughs. Whether you’re a lifelong gamer or just like hearing friends talk games across time zones, this might be your new favorite gaming hangout.
New episodes every week. Come for the games, stay for the friendship.

The Kaito & Red Show
E45 - We Were Not Ready for Evangelion Gunpla

This week on The Kaito and Red Show, Kaito accidentally gave Red yet another expensive hobby after discovering an Evangelion Gunpla model kit that immediately sent both of them down the rabbit hole. As if collecting video games wasn’t already enough, the temptation of giant robots and model kits proved far too strong to ignore.
We also dive into the latest gaming news, including Tomodachi Life continuing its surprisingly massive success, the unfortunate downfall of Gang of Dragons, and the sad story of GrammaCrackers getting swatted. On top of that, Red somehow couldn’t resist buying a brand-new custom shell for his Game Boy Advance SP. This one is particularly special.
For the games we play, Red started Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon on the GBA and talks about why the classic tactical RPG feels like the perfect throwback to a different era of gaming. Meanwhile, Kaito finished Unicorn Overlord, became completely addicted to Vampire Crawlers, checked out Starbites, and also played the demo for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. In other words, a fairly normal gaming week for him.
It’s a surprisingly packed week of retro gaming, RPGs, handheld nostalgia, and questionable financial decisions.
