Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! This episode we're covering two short stories by Edogawa Ranpo: "The Murder on D. Hill" and "The Psychological Test." One is the first ever story featuring Ranpo's detective Kogoro Akechi solving a salacious killing, and the other is a howcatchem featuring a scheming university student who thinks he's done the perfect murder - and he also encounters Akechi! We get our first taste of Ranpo's work, discuss how to un-"Boss Baby" ourselves, and talk about our favorite lines and moments from these tales. And of course, we also draw some lines back to Ace Attorney, including one moment from these stories that Shu Takumi lifted entirely for Case 1-2! Find out what it is by listening in!

Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! Today we're starting with one of the classics: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlet! We figured our curriculum needed a solid base first, so why not start with the most famous detective of all time? We tackle the character of Holmes, the odd second half of the book, and Watson's immediate fondness for the man. Of course, we also detour into a live drug bust, getting a fine glass of laudanum, misinformation about Van Gogh, and praise for the Great Mouse Detective.

Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose complete their journey to play every Ace Attorney game! We've done it! Every Ace Attorney game is now completed, so we take an episode to debrief, catch up, and answer some listener questions, too! The crew debates Kazuma's story arc, our favorite tunes from the game, and which culprit we'd most like to defend. We also get into the very light topic of art and criticism, and talk about how cool it is to have a variety of opinions about media! And if you wanna hear us reminisce about finishing this project, well, we do a bit of that too! Lastly, we know you've been waiting: we finally announce what we'll be tackling next on the podcast (until Capcom decides to release another game one day!), and we hope you'll join us for the next leg of our journey!

Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose wrap up their journey to play every Ace Attorney game! It's finally over, we've completed them all! Every single Ace Attorney game has been played (well, until someone finds a way to port those pachinko and VR games to PC)! Rose and Tiago discuss with Ben and Dessy their thoughts on the final case, the villain, Van Zieks' character arc, and our final big deductions. How did they land on Sholmes? Do we love the final Dance of Deduction? And what about that wacky deus ex machina Sholmes pulls out of a bunny? Well, we tackle all of it, and then some! It's a jam-packed episode that will be sure to delight, dazzle, and create discourse! Well, hopefully not too much of that last one. Thank you so much for joining us this far folks, but while Ace Attorney as a series is now completed (until Capcom makes a new one), we do have more to cover on this podcast! Stay tuned!

Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose continue on their journey to play every Ace Attorney game! There's several revelations to talk about today, one being about Yujin Mikotoba, and then several cascading questions as a result of that! We also have two wacky witnesses again, but honestly we put them away pretty quickly to get into the real meat of things: Sholmes is an asshole! We also visit Rose's Theory Corner, but Tiago also sneaks a theory in too -- so be sure to take notes. Lastly, we talk about beans on toast, the secret recipe book of Genshin Asogi, and how we're happy Van Zieks is warming up to us slowly in a realistic way. We're so close to the end, so hold onto your butts!

Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose continue on their journey to play every Ace Attorney game! There's turmoil in London as one of Scotland Yard's top detectives is murdered! And Van Zieks is the suspect! Between visiting patriarchs, prison wardens, and the Red-Headed League, things are topsy-turvy as we figure out what's going on in this case. Plus, you know, we're still recovering from sickness so we're kind of wacky this episode. You wanna talk about House M.D. with us? Or maybe Bionicle? No? Ok, we'll get back to Ace Attorney... and those three wacky witnesses we have on the stand. Also discussed: DILF energy, and can it drive you to kill?

Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose continue on their journey to play every Ace Attorney game! Unfortunately, Rose is sick this week, so we asking Iro to join us and do the impossible: rank every character from the original Ace Attorney Trilogy! We do our best to figure out where each character should go, and maybe do a bit of bargaining along the way. This is ALL business folks, no fun or jokes - just serious rankings of characters. No one gets put into the C category just because their name starts with C. No sir! Definitely not! And we definitely wouldn't put someone in a higher tier just because of our own podcast jokes making them funnier to us, would we? We couldn't possibly!!

Click here if you'd like to WATCH this episode in video form and see the tier list being made!

Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose continue on their journey to play every Ace Attorney game! We've got a chunky podcast for you today folks, with tons of sexy witnesses, big revelations about van Zieks' past, and the complete reveal of the mysterious masked assistant... there's a ton to discuss, and we still find find for a trademark side tangent or two. How do Rose and Tiago react to the reveals? Does this change their opinion of van Zieks at all? And how about Sholmes and some of these lies he's been telling us? Great detectives are wont to lie, you say? All this and more in a nearly 2-hour podcast packed to the brim with antics, discussion, and some ill-advised turns of phrase!
