On this thicc episode of the Maximum Utcast, Jonathan interviews Matt Bozon and Michael Stragey of WayForward about their game Shantae Advance that originally began development over 20 years ago as a GBA game only to be shelved indefinitely before being revived this year. Shantae Advance finally got released this year on actual GBA cartridges through Limited Run Games or available digitally just about everywhere else. Jonathan also makes a plea for a sequel to Boogerman (which Michael produced and programmed). Later, Jonathan and Zoey talk about what a sequel to Boogerman might look like and we also reveal that this show has potentially always been an Earthworm Jim fan cast? Sometimes you gotta separate the art from the artist, and other time, you gotta hold the limes in your mind!
