They say that what you don't know can't hurt you…

But what if you don't know about the ninja lurking in the shadows behind you!? This week, right in time for the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection, we venture back to 1988 for the NES entry which started the franchise!

Up against the modern entries, is the original still worth picking up?

But before we dig into the game we scope out the shows Mare of Easttown and Hacks on HBO, and Mikey's crippling addiction to Overwatch.

Plus, we weigh in on whether we're okay with Trash Talk in video games.
