Sonic 2 - Matt Reviews

The Sonic 2 Episode of Matt Reviews featured Matt and Comic Fan 13 and was initially cancelled; however

the review itself became the basis of the TME 2019 Christmas Special "One of our sandwiches is missing!" and through various Doctor Who-type levels of time travel, they are allowed to finish the review.

Synopsis of the review
Much unlike other reviews Matt had hosted, this one has a narrative threaded through it; as Matt and Comic Fan were reviewing the game, Reggie and Comic Fan's Shadow plush consistently tried to interrupt the reviewing process and stop it from happening. The two would eventually be exposed for this interference as it appeared that Matt and Comic Fan knew full well what was going on, though this was initially never explained.

One of our sandwiches is missing!
Sandwiches explains how they know: due to Reggie's incompetence and lack of shooting ability, he aims a gun he is holding at the Sonic 2 game cartridge as opposed to the lights (which was what he was trying to shoot in the first place), releasing Queen Mab, who prevented the review from continuing, trapping everyone in a Time Bubble. Once Dr. Pewp corrected the timelines, he edited things a little, such as Reggie's aim and made it so that Shadow and Reggie's interference became far more obvious to the reviewers than it should have, ensuring that the review would finish as planned.

Reason for cancellation
Initially the review was scheduled to be a Halloween special, though due to a lack of time, the two never got the damn thing completed - this was because to lack of preparation on Matt's part and because Comic Fan needed more time to record his dialogue, so the entire thing fell apart fairly quickly; however, the idea of moving the review to Christmas Day and coming up with a fairly fictitious explanation as to why it didn't happen earlier was unanimously agreed upon, leading to the events of the special being written by Matt under the pseudonym "Simon Judie".
