Episode 24 – WaveBack Episode 24: One Hit Wonders Vol. 1

Usually, Kris and Vicky take on whole (or at least big chunks of) soundtracks at a time. But what about those games that just don't have enough music to justify an entire episode? That's where this episode comes in. Kris takes Vicky on a tour of odds and ends in their first One Hit Wonders special. A very special thanks to Sean Guglar for the exclusive version of the D/Generation theme.
