Jon Bell (Noise Berry Games) returns to the podcast to talk Shrek 2, Jim Steinman, and Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero." We also do a bonus segment for the first time in maybe several years! Also, Alex says "Zeuserman" at one point in this episode and it didn't get the attention it deserved so I'm letting y'all know about it here.
