Team Rocket Plays Video Games

When they’re not digging holes and stealing Pokemon, the members of Team Rocket are recording a podcast. Listen to their rambling stream of consciousness about the media, their lives and the world at large.

Video games are the hot new things now, so Team Rocket has decided to try them out. Sekiro is hard and God of War is confusing. Spoilers for both these games.
