S5 E197 Minecraft: Kid Flash (Sept 2025)

A DC inspired short made with love and artful skill, this week's pick is also an homage to the creative talent of a young creator now sadly passed. Despite us not necessarily being the target audience - due to certain demographic features - we really enjoyed reviewing this. Check out our comments and do add your own.

6:00 The challenge of being a Minecraft modder and making machinima possible – the Blockbuster mod and BBS mod
