Here comes Speed Racer racing around the track. But he’s got the the Car Acrobatic Team hot on his tail. Can Speed make it around the curve and onto the finish line without getting caught?

Micah Ulmer joins the show to help find out where exactly Speed got his origins and all kinds of cool things that show this franchise is more than just that anime you saw when you were 6.

Learn such things as:

  • Where did this character originate anyway?
  • Who is that mysterious driver that always seems to bail Speed out of trouble?
  • What really cool peripheral technically exists for this game but maybe not because I’ve never seen one or known anyone who has?
  • And much more!
