Today we’re hanging out with Griffin Conway — the mind behind Reboot Deboot, co-creator of Major Toonage, and the chaos gremlin known online as TheRenegadeJester. We talk podcasts, fandom drama, terrible reboots we wish we could erase, and what keeps creators coming back week after week.
Griffin opens up about why he loves picking apart reboots, how wild podcasting really gets behind the scenes, and the absolute madness of growing a show on the internet. It’s part interview, part nerd therapy session, and honestly? We just had a blast talking shop, storytelling, and big creative dreams.

In this episode, Kevin and Jay dive into Slender Man (now streaming on Netflix) — the horror movie based on the internet’s most infamous urban legend. We talk about how a simple online myth evolved into real-world fear and eventually a full-length film. From the eerie forest visuals to the jump scares that missed, we break down what worked, what didn’t, and why Slender Man might’ve been scarier on your screen saver than in Hollywood.

This week on the K J and A Podcast, we set out with zero agenda and somehow ended up debating fast food mascots, forgotten cartoons, terrible movie sequels, and why socks always vanish in the dryer.
It’s an off-the-rails ride through pop culture tangents, childhood memories, completely unqualified hot takes, and moments that made even us say, “What were we talking about again?”
Grab a snack, press play, and hang out with us for an episode where the journey is the destination.
 No structure. Just vibes.

This week on the K J and A Podcast, we sink our teeth into a gothic gaming legend: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.
Released in 1999, this dark, narrative-driven action-adventure still haunts our memories—and in the best way. We talk about its worldbuilding, voice acting, that unforgettable intro, and why Raziel’s tragic arc might be one of the most underrated in video game history.
Plus:



The wild timeline of the Legacy of Kain series


Why Soul Reaver’s dimension-shifting mechanic blew our minds


Favorite boss fights and environments


What we’d want from a remake or reboot


Whether you played it on PS1 or just heard legends of Nosgoth, this one’s for the old-school gothic gamer in all of us.
