107: Canned Heat

Let's call this one the "Before Summer 2022 Hiatus show" :) Yep, we admit it - the summer got away from us and we didn't get this episode out nearly as quickly as intended.

We cover a host of topics from microscopes to power supplies to Rally-X and Toy Story 4 from JJP. Even though the pinball reveal is old news at this point, I don't think our opinions are off t...
