Ben Schwartz and James Marsden on ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’ and classic Nintendo game Contra

Ben Schwartz and James Marsden are back for more in their new movie “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” (you can watch the trailer here) which comes out this weekend and also stars the legendary Jim Carrey.

This week I was able to sit down with Schwartz (who plays the voice of Sonic) and Marsden and talk to them about important things like if Schwartz ever thought as a kid while playing Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega if he’d ever get to play the most famous hedgehog in a movie some day.

I was also able to have a very serious conversation about the legendary Nintendo game Contra. Do you remember the cheat code for that game that got you 30 guys? Did the makers of the game realize they made a mistake by initially only giving you three guys to win the game? So many questions about this important topic!

You can watch that discussion here:

Oh, and here’s someone winning Contra with just one life!

Incredible!

You can watch our entire conversation here.

Fun guys. Fun movie. Fun times.
