With Sonic the Hedgehog 2 hitting theaters this weekend, it seems like a perfect time to highlight another Sonic animated series for Everything Action Theater. You can watch the first episode of the anime series Sonic X, created by the legendary TMS Entertainment.

After the Internet revolted over his original design in the first trailer, Paramount actually listened and did a full redesign of the Blue Blur, which you can check out in the newly released trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog.

After some baffling and disturbing posters and marketing material, the first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog is here and it does little to dissuade the notion that this movie is probably going to be a horrific garbage fire.

This week on the podcast, Zach, Chris and Joe discuss the possible secret insanity of Into the Spider-Verse, Goose’s son cast for Top Gun: Maverick, the early MCU movies, the splitting of the Child’s Play franchise, Bleeding Steel, Sicario: Day of the Soldado, The First Purge, Escape Plan 2 and much more.

Tons of casting for some of the upcoming Stephen King adaptations, the first solid details on the DC streaming service, Demolition Man is coming to SDCC, Eggman cast for the Sonic movie, two new Scare Zones for Halloween Horror Nights and much more in this week’s News Shotgun.

The second Sonic cartoon from DiC, Sonic the Hedgehog took things a little more seriously than the Tex Avery inspired Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and pitted Sonic (Jaleel White) and a band of freedom fighters up against Dr. Robotnik (Jim Cummings) and his robotic army.

If you have any love of classic video games, Disney Animation’s latest, Wreck It Ralph should be on your most anticipated list as a classic arcade villain tries to become a hero in other games and crosses paths with tons of classic characters.
