The seminal Irem shooter R-Type is the seed to start this episodes conversation about all things H-Shmup - from Gradius to Einhander, Defender to Delta - all bases are covered but they are sadly not 'belong to us', as we complete neglect to mention 'Zero Wing' in all it's meme-y glory. Nevermind, eh? For a bonus point, see if you can spot the moment Andy complete ignores Dave's Star Wars pun! Cocktails this week: Andy's Cocktail Dave's Cocktail
