This Black History Month, we’re celebrating a different kind of legend. The ones we heard before we ever knew their faces. From cartoons and video games to animated heroes and unforgettable mentors, Black voice actors helped shape our childhoods, our imaginations, and the way we connected to the stories we loved.

In this special episode, we reflect on iconic voices like James Avery, Cree Summer, Phil LaMarr, and others who brought depth, humor, strength, and soul to characters across generations. We talk about why voice acting hits differently, how these performances made us feel seen, and why these artists deserve their flowers while they’re still here.

This isn’t just about animation or nostalgia. It’s about legacy, representation, and the voices that helped raise us.

For their first video episode of the year, Slim and Chris crack open their personal toy collections in Unboxed Memories | A Toying with Nostalgia Special. This isn’t about rarity or resale value. It’s about the toys that stuck with them, the stories behind the shelves, and the memories that never stayed in the box.

From childhood favorites to figures that followed them into adulthood, the guys share why these pieces still matter and how toys became time capsules for different chapters of life. Pull up a seat, take a look at the shelves, and enjoy a more personal side of Toying with Nostalgia.

Another year down, and we’re still doing what we do best. In this year-end review episode, the crew looks back at the moments that defined the year in gaming, movies, TV, and geek culture.

It’s part recap, part reflection, and all real talk as we close out the year and look ahead to what’s next.
