Episode Synopsis "Episode 8: Donkey Kong Dossier – part 2 of 2"

This episode starts with some personal memories and experiences with Donkey Kong. After that, I revisit the 2007 documentary "King of Kong - a Fistful of Quarters." I talk about the plot of the film, and some of the controversial aspects of it as well. Lastly, I provide a summary of the Billy Mitchell Twin Galaxies scandal that ended with Billy being banned in 2018 from competition in the scoreboards.
