Straight out of Japan - specifically Hobby Japan - comes Gibberers: The Word Game of Language Invention and Civilization Development, and it’s probably one of our favourite games? Like… ever. On the big screen we’re watching a man leap a building in a single bound, as well as a lot more, in the new Superman movie from James Gunn, and on a smaller screen we’re watching something King of the Hill fans will want to check out: Adult Swim’s Common Side Effects.

All that, and the man from Del Monte, on Ep228.

00:00 - Pea Year Zero

06:58 - Gibberers: The Word Game of Language Invention and Civilization Development
