# Episode 312 – Sonic the Hedgehog

How can we follow up heavy-hitting guests like Griffin Newman and Chris Weitz, you may ask? Uh, well how about with [JAMELLE BOUIE](https://twitter.com/jbouie?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor), New York Times columnist and guy you’ve definitely seen saying smart things on the news. Why does he like us? Who knows! But he stopped by to discuss [Sonic the Hedgehog](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3794354/), about some sort of hedgehog who has definitely never been pregnant on the internet. Meanwhile, Jamelle gives us his history with SEGA, Stuart uses literary terms correctly, Dan only has old man references, and Elliott adds a few physics goofs to Sonic’s IMDB page.
