71 - Slippy-Doos (feat. Lee Sullivan and PETE HOLMES!)

This week, we're joined by our pal (and raconteur) Lee Sullivan to discuss our trip to Melbourne, fish jerky, apartheid, and Tom's drunken antics. We cut to audio recorded on the scene, including a special (and very awkward and fangirlish) interview with the one and only Pete Holmes. Then we touch on the brand-new Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time, and new DLC for Sound Shapes.
In SSST: Disney disbands LucasArts, Rockstar unveils GTA V's cover art, and Telltale announces Poker Night 2. Yep, that's all.
In Ask SSJ: we discuss filmmaking, drugs, ALF, hardcore gaming, and then Tom gets out of there as quickly as possible.

MUSIC USED:
All music this week was improvised by Lee Sullivan, who you'll know from bands such as Canoelands and Dr. Spaceman.
Oh wait, no, there was one more track.

In Ask SSJ: we make up our own fanfiction, forget to help Ghost Bride move, talk about the impact of Australia's R18+ rating for games, investigate how the Americanisation of Australia has coloured our enjoyment of Bioshock Infinite, and our lives as Australians on the whole, and we look back on some treasured memories from our childhoods.
