Speaker 1: is a good thing. Where us three are in the
Speaker 1: same time Yeah, but you you two are like used
Speaker 1: to this time zone. I'm still I'm I think I'm
Speaker 1: permanently stuck in jet leg time zone. So I was
Speaker 1: up at four am, like, all right, let's do this.
Speaker 1: So I'm halfway of my day at this point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I MEANPM my my face is going to hit the
Speaker 1: concrete and I'll be out.
Speaker 3: I'm at the end of my day, so I'm feeling chipper.
Speaker 3: I've not really spoken to anyone all day because I
Speaker 3: mean most of the team is on the West Coast.
Speaker 3: I'm like, so, I guys, I talk to myself then
Speaker 3: it's fine. The UK boys are around. I live with
Speaker 3: one of the UK boys, but like their heads down
Speaker 3: working on stuff, and I'm just like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I used to this used to be something I
Speaker 1: did in the past. Anyway, I'd like mumble for myself.
Speaker 1: But in the in the quarantine period, I have fallen
Speaker 1: gone into having conversations with myself. And I'm very glad that.
Speaker 1: Like when I was at home in the UK, it
Speaker 1: was fine because my brothers and they were living with
Speaker 1: me and they're very used to it by now, so
Speaker 1: they understand what's going on coming back here. I've kept
Speaker 1: that habit. I'm very lucky that Chastity like doesn't notice
Speaker 1: me doing it a lot. My roommate and usually when
Speaker 1: I'm like in the living room, I can see her
Speaker 1: so like it's like a mental note to not do it.
Speaker 1: But there are sometimes like it happened last night. I no, no,
Speaker 1: I went downstairs into the kitchen at about it must
Speaker 1: have been like eleven PM because I was really hungry
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm going to have a little
Speaker 1: snack and as I was making it was like a
Speaker 1: guilty snack. And I was as I was making the snack,
Speaker 1: I was talking to myself about like the snacks. I've
Speaker 1: been like, it's only this many calories. I haven't had
Speaker 1: this much, so I'm well underneath my deficit. I was
Speaker 1: talking to myself and I was thinking about, like talking
Speaker 1: out loud my workout routine for the next day, and
Speaker 1: then out of nowhere, I just heard chest in his
Speaker 1: voice and I turned around.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh no, I mean, she's.
Speaker 3: Not gonna judge you for that, like I remember, No.
Speaker 1: No, she's not. It's just weird in it.
Speaker 3: It's not I mean when I mean this is weird.
Speaker 3: When I was into like one of your story, but
Speaker 3: I've just had like a weird flashback memory of when
Speaker 3: I was I was about to say when I was
Speaker 3: a kid, But realistically, I don't think I was really
Speaker 3: that young. I would have been early to mid teens.
Speaker 3: But I used to pretend to be on cribs and
Speaker 3: whenever I was home alone, and I would like give
Speaker 3: tours of my house if I was on cribs. And
Speaker 3: I would also do that when I was tidying up.
Speaker 3: I would be like, I don't know, pretending like I
Speaker 3: was on some TV show for hoarders or something, and
Speaker 3: I like narrate whenever I was tidying things. Hmmm, I
Speaker 3: can't even say that I've grown out of it.
Speaker 2: I have to like say out loud when I'm thinking
Speaker 2: for like a script, to kind of like get it
Speaker 2: in my head. So I am just like Georgia probably
Speaker 2: just hears me like muttering about video games and like,
Speaker 2: you know, systems and nonsense all day and systems.
Speaker 1: I'm the same way. We've reviews I read. I read
Speaker 1: my review, but like I'll read it every time I
Speaker 1: add like a paragraph, I have to start from the
Speaker 1: beginning and read it again. I'm like such a stickler
Speaker 1: for how it flows where sometimes like I'll add a
Speaker 1: word and read the entire thing again out loud to
Speaker 1: see how that one word fits in. But it takes
Speaker 1: me so long to write a goddamn review.
Speaker 5: You only one of the fastest reviewers I know about
Speaker 5: to say, didn't you review Secure out in like three
Speaker 5: days or something?
Speaker 3: I mean in a day?
Speaker 1: Man, if I didn't have to reread it after I
Speaker 1: had a word, and it'll take me an hour. I
Speaker 1: know people who literally who literally pump out reviews in
Speaker 1: two or three hours, and I cannot. I do not understand.
Speaker 1: I'm like, how do you do that? That's wild? Not
Speaker 1: all of them are good, but you know they do it.
Speaker 1: They do it anyways. You are, of course listen to
Speaker 1: the games. But after that podcast and we are going
Speaker 1: to kick it off as normal with what we've been playing, Jordan,
Speaker 1: what you've been up to.
Speaker 4: You know that I can't talk about the game that
Speaker 4: I've been up to.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna check this because three but there is an
Speaker 6: there's an embargo on Friday that we can it's a video.
Speaker 2: You're not allowed. You're not allowed to give any impressions excited, you.
Speaker 1: Can't even say what it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you paid. There's gonna be like two videos that
Speaker 3: we've made that come out today. Hang on reading it.
Speaker 2: I'm literally working out a video that will come out
Speaker 2: before this podcast for a game, so people will know,
Speaker 2: people will know.
Speaker 4: So people will know based on John looks videos, like
Speaker 4: going to a video. Look at what videos John Luke
Speaker 4: has recently, and look forward to next week when we
Speaker 4: can all talk about it.
Speaker 2: We can do, but yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: Embargo is so weird, and we'll talk about it next week.
Speaker 1: Anything else you enough the children that you can talk
Speaker 1: about what's going on?
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I honestly I haven't anything.
Speaker 1: Just tell me what you ate for breakfast. Tell me
Speaker 1: what you think they ate breakfast?
Speaker 4: You think I ate breakfast today when I have to
Speaker 4: get up for eight thirty am podcasts.
Speaker 3: Again, I appreciate you.
Speaker 4: Coffee right now and that's going to be my breakfast.
Speaker 4: And I've a dentist appointment later, so I'm kind of
Speaker 4: like throwing going back and forth. I'm like, should I
Speaker 4: eat something? I'd have to like clean my teeth extra
Speaker 4: before going into the dentist, and I'm not sure if
Speaker 4: I want to have to like deal with that hassle.
Speaker 4: It's just just the whole thing. But no, Like I
Speaker 4: haven't been able to play too much or do too
Speaker 4: many things because I've just been prepping for this upcoming
Speaker 4: Monday is my one year anniversary for with my partner,
Speaker 4: and so I've been spending a lot of my after
Speaker 4: work hours prepping for stuff like that. Haven't been playing things.
Speaker 4: I want to play stuff. I want to get back
Speaker 4: to onsiteed. I want to play that what is it
Speaker 4: called Inscription, that spooky card.
Speaker 1: Based game that people have been talking about on Twitter.
Speaker 1: But it looks streaming it is and it looks really cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So my question, my question instead what we'll pivot to,
Speaker 1: is what you excited about for the rest of the year.
Speaker 4: I have I have so many things. We have a
Speaker 4: short podcast today. Why would you ask me something like that?
Speaker 1: Just give me? Just give me one or two.
Speaker 4: I think my current top two would be Chorus, that
Speaker 4: game we are playing as the woman who's piloting a
Speaker 4: ship that has like an artificial intelligence and gives me
Speaker 4: like major technical two vibes and you unlock abilities for
Speaker 4: the ship. It's the one that has it's.
Speaker 1: Like sched because with a v which is weird. Oh
Speaker 1: I know that one night yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. And then Halo Infinite like it's Halo Infinite'
Speaker 4: is just one of those games like the campaign could
Speaker 4: be absolute uh dog shit, and I'm hoping that it's not.
Speaker 4: But I had such a fun time with the multiplayer
Speaker 4: that I'm like, yeah, it's real good. I just want
Speaker 4: to do this and it comes out on my birthday,
Speaker 4: so like it's Xbox celebrating.
Speaker 3: Me and it's fake. It has to be good.
Speaker 1: That's fair. I think. Yeah, those are those two. Wellio
Speaker 1: is definitely high on my one. But Lucy, what you
Speaker 1: been up to?
Speaker 3: Well? I finished Life a Strange True Colors on stream
Speaker 3: last night. Jordan term thank you so much for popping it.
Speaker 3: Like Jordan Jordan popped in and immediately went, ah, I
Speaker 3: see you're at the sad episode.
Speaker 2: You've got.
Speaker 1: I started playing it the other day. It's good.
Speaker 3: I really really enjoyed it. I've kind of steered away
Speaker 3: from Life for Strange for a few years, and I
Speaker 3: missed out a lot. I haven't I haven't played is
Speaker 3: it which is the one where Steph is introduced as
Speaker 3: that before the storm?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I missed that one. So I didn't really
Speaker 3: have any clue really who Steph was. My chat and
Speaker 3: I were very much team Steph and so we run
Speaker 3: around her. But overall, I loved it. I thought it
Speaker 3: was really well put together, just mystery story. Characters were
Speaker 3: fun and interesting, and I felt like I actually cared
Speaker 3: about them. At the end, I thought the writing was
Speaker 3: like miles better than I felt I felt like looking back,
Speaker 3: especially the original Life is strange. It's a little bit awkward,
Speaker 3: like the Hellas and the all that kind of stuff,
Speaker 3: and there are some like goofy things in before in
Speaker 3: True Colors too, but I overall felt like I enjoyed
Speaker 3: it a lot. I enjoyed I love the original. Life
Speaker 3: is strange for very different reasons. And yeah, I kind
Speaker 3: of want to we've went to Colorado now because that
Speaker 3: place looks but no, I had a really good time.
Speaker 3: That's something I've been playing. The next thing I'll be
Speaker 3: playing will be Alan Wake remastered on stream. The thing
Speaker 3: is is that I don't want to take your steeze term.
Speaker 3: I don't want to play Souls, and also I'm very
Speaker 3: afraid that I will suck at Souls, and I don't
Speaker 3: want to suck at Souls on. But then if you,
Speaker 3: if you want to get a good game play, you
Speaker 3: could just go watch your VODs.
Speaker 5: So I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe if I never played, I haven't played Dark Doors
Speaker 1: one on stream through since the game first came out,
Speaker 1: like I streamed damn. Yeah, like I was thinking about it.
Speaker 1: But also like people are like, you should play Blooborn,
Speaker 1: you should play bloodbor and I'm like, yeah, I know
Speaker 1: you probably want to see me play blood Born, but
Speaker 1: I know that you're expecting me to play Bloodborn in
Speaker 1: a way that I don't play Bloodborn, which be very
Speaker 1: good at the game. I don't play Bloodborn like that.
Speaker 1: I play blood Born by man, look at this nice
Speaker 1: texture on the floor, isn't it really nice?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And like this is this, this is some good vibes
Speaker 1: in here or some bad vibes, spooky vibes. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna here for a bit and entertaining. But I have
Speaker 1: been edging towards doing Bloodborn. But I can understand why
Speaker 1: you wouldn't do it, But nevertheless, I'm going to still
Speaker 1: keep annoying you by telling you about I like it it.
Speaker 3: And also it's just like I am also a bit
Speaker 3: all over the place emotionally not really. Yeah, I'm going
Speaker 3: to be moving soon and I don't really want to
Speaker 3: start something that is going to have like a big
Speaker 3: disruption in the middle of it, which I feel like
Speaker 3: Alan Allen makes quite short. I could probably knock that
Speaker 3: out before I move. But in terms of like movies,
Speaker 3: I've watched as it is the Spooky Months, I watched
Speaker 3: Jennifer's Body for the first time, Abe too, you did,
Speaker 3: Oh my.
Speaker 4: God, I am making a resurgence.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the thing. And then did you see that
Speaker 3: the brats Dolls made a kind of machine man of
Speaker 3: the tongue scene?
Speaker 2: And I was like, what is going on in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one? Right now.
Speaker 3: That's the key audience for Brad Steles And now it's
Speaker 3: like it's just queer. People found some kind of awakening
Speaker 3: with Jennifer's Body. But no, it was like I was
Speaker 3: watching it and I was like, oh my god, this movie.
Speaker 3: I never understood Megan Fox before, but now I understand
Speaker 3: she's so hard.
Speaker 2: Do you watch the original or the director or the
Speaker 2: unrated version?
Speaker 3: I don't know it was, whichever version was on Disney Plus.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, so it's fun Probably no, okay.
Speaker 3: It's Fox. I will, I will, I will take a look.
Speaker 2: At there is not actually unrated in the sense that
Speaker 2: like they added more content. They actually just like recut
Speaker 2: it a lot of it, so like I looked up
Speaker 2: the changes and it's like all these very minor changes
Speaker 2: of like oh and stuff of holding on this shot
Speaker 2: for five seconds, we hold on it for three seconds,
Speaker 2: and this kind of thing, Like I guess apparently it's
Speaker 2: just a funnier the directors.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: The unedited version is what I heard when we were
Speaker 2: looking it up, So that's the version we watched. That
Speaker 2: movie is not what I expected, Like tonally, I.
Speaker 3: Had no idea what it was.
Speaker 2: It's good and it's very good. It feels like a
Speaker 2: movie that exists. It something about like the way that
Speaker 2: people act reminded me of like a movie from like
Speaker 2: two thousand and three, but it was made in two
Speaker 2: thousand and nine. And then it's got this weird like
Speaker 2: it's got these big actors like you know, like Megan
Speaker 2: Fox and like Chris Pratt shows up for one scene
Speaker 2: to act like a wrong in and then leave, which
Speaker 2: is oh yeah, like in Wild and I was like,
Speaker 2: what is going on with this movie?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: But then just like the use of music and the
Speaker 2: like the comedy tones like really come out of nowhere,
Speaker 2: but in like a really goo good way. I tweeted
Speaker 2: that it reminded me of life is strange. Yeah, it does,
Speaker 2: and it totally does. And it's like I have a
Speaker 2: hard time like explaining what about it exactly, but just
Speaker 2: something about like the way it's edited and the use
Speaker 2: of music and the way like the characters talk to
Speaker 2: each other, like it has that like, oh, the soundtrack
Speaker 2: is so soundtrack is so good. And then it's like
Speaker 2: it's all these like people trying to talk like high
Speaker 2: schoolers and in the way that they do in Life
Speaker 2: is Strange one where it's like either you're really into
Speaker 2: that or you're like this is cringey, but it's fun.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Big, It's like life is strange if
Speaker 2: Chloe Price was possessed by a demon is basically how
Speaker 2: I pitched how I pitched that that life.
Speaker 4: Is strange for vampire main character.
Speaker 1: That is genuinely a good idea. I would love to
Speaker 1: see Life is Strange going like a more haunted direction.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like like Riverdale kind of vibes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Just be like listen where a rivet because
Speaker 1: have you seen Rivedal recently? Like I've never watched Riverdale,
Speaker 1: but I was watched that video Riverdale and I was like,
Speaker 1: what in God's name is happening with this TV show.
Speaker 2: It is wild.
Speaker 4: I saw the when what it was that Veronica became
Speaker 4: like a murderous vigilante type thing with like a bow
Speaker 4: and arrow or something like that. That was kind of
Speaker 4: like my stopping point.
Speaker 2: For Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Wild. There's like cults and multiple cults.
Speaker 2: There's a killers a Queen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like it turns into like ship American horror
Speaker 1: story at some point and then like turns in say, yeah,
Speaker 1: it just turns into like EastEnders at one point. It's
Speaker 1: like very strange what's going on in that show. But
Speaker 1: if you don't want to watch it, just watch super
Speaker 1: eyepatch Wolf's video on it, because it's like, I think
Speaker 1: the video is like forty minutes long, and it is
Speaker 1: a proper descent into madness. You come out of it
Speaker 1: and you're like who, And it's because it's because like
Speaker 1: they've got like twenty writers and they're all just writing
Speaker 1: an episode in isolation and they have no rules to
Speaker 1: work on, so it's just madness constantly.
Speaker 3: You can't get over that. That is so weird to be, Like,
Speaker 3: I keep seeing stuff about Riverdale pop up about you know,
Speaker 3: how hot they all are and like us with these kids,
Speaker 3: and it's got the Zach and Cody from The Sweet
Speaker 3: Life in it all one of them, I don't know which,
Speaker 3: and then it's like, oh, yeah, then this happened, and
Speaker 3: then this person, this person, I'm like, what the hell
Speaker 3: is going on here? Who's watching this show? And yet
Speaker 3: it's so big and so popular. So I also watched
Speaker 3: Drag Me to Hell for the first time, which I
Speaker 3: wasn't as hot on. I thought, I'm not gonna spoil it,
Speaker 3: but I was like, really really disappointed with where I
Speaker 3: thought the ending was going. And then the ending changed
Speaker 3: and I was like, Okay, yes, I'm into that. I'm
Speaker 3: into that. So that was That was a good film,
Speaker 3: but I like Jennifer's Body better. And so I had
Speaker 3: had a pretty spooky weekend.
Speaker 4: Are you doing like a horror movie marathon for October
Speaker 4: or something? Are you just watching it?
Speaker 3: Just watching them? So, I mean, my my pal who
Speaker 3: I live with is back from Montreal for a bit
Speaker 3: and we've got this crossover, and it's just like, oh,
Speaker 3: do you want to watch something?
Speaker 5: Yeah, what's on?
Speaker 2: I haven't.
Speaker 3: We haven't started Succession yet and I might save a
Speaker 3: couple of those episodes and just like watch them because
Speaker 3: I'm very, very excited for succession.
Speaker 1: I've been doing the Halloween thing a bit as well.
Speaker 1: That me and my roommate watched Candy Man.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we almost watched that.
Speaker 1: It is not good, but it's really weird because it's
Speaker 1: good for ten minutes and then there's a very noticeable
Speaker 1: like there's nothing happens in the plot or the narrative
Speaker 1: to kind of instigate it. It's like the writing falls
Speaker 1: off a cliff in a way that is a very noticeable.
Speaker 1: People stop being human and they start being like written
Speaker 1: characters in a very and like it is very nice.
Speaker 1: So because main character is yeahya Abdul Mattin, who's like
Speaker 1: an incredible actor, like very very charismatic, and then he
Speaker 1: just becomes this like like really awkward like character and
Speaker 1: you're like why you like this? And everyone around him
Speaker 1: it's like it's like in the middle of a bunch
Speaker 1: of people being killed. But after having said the words
Speaker 1: candy man into a mirror multiple times, it just keeps
Speaker 1: cutting to scenes of people going I'm gonna do it,
Speaker 1: and you're like, why why are you doing this? Why
Speaker 1: do you why? Like you you know, not to do
Speaker 1: You've there's evidence of you, like every stupid decision that
Speaker 1: you think a horror movie is gonna make a character
Speaker 1: is gonna make, they make it for any and they've got.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, it's like a horror movie ever done,
Speaker 2: like like taking that concept but like modernize it where
Speaker 2: it's like, hey, everyone, we're gonna do the TikTok challenge.
Speaker 2: You'll have to go say candy Man in the your
Speaker 2: three times.
Speaker 1: Well, there's there's that. There was that one show about
Speaker 1: like there was not one movie on shadow, right, Lucy,
Speaker 1: you've seen it, the one about like hosts people on
Speaker 1: a webcam. Yeah. Yeah, there's that element to it, which
Speaker 1: is like there are some of those out there. But
Speaker 1: there is one character in the movie who like, at
Speaker 1: one point looks into a scenario which is very obviously
Speaker 1: designed to get her killed and goes nope and just
Speaker 1: walks away. The smartest thing literally goes She literally goes
Speaker 1: nope and then walks it away, and me and me
Speaker 1: and Aroma are like, very good, smartest girl. The annoying
Speaker 1: thing about it is. The annoying thing about it is
Speaker 1: it's also it's so frustrating. Underneath it is a fucking
Speaker 1: incredible movie, Like underneath it it's it's it's not directed
Speaker 1: by Jordan I forgot the name of the director. The
Speaker 1: director director, Yeah, near the Costa and there's a near
Speaker 1: the and there's a lot of good She does amazing
Speaker 1: work and then Jordan Peel was involved in it as well.
Speaker 1: And underneath the bullshit is this very smart, cerebral, like
Speaker 1: well considered narrative that is just completely fucked up because
Speaker 1: it seems like multiple writers took a crack at it,
Speaker 1: and it carries on from the original Candy Man, so
Speaker 1: like all of that happened, and it explores the idea
Speaker 1: of mythology in a community, in a black community that
Speaker 1: has been victimized, abandoned, gentrified, and what the mythology of
Speaker 1: a murderous character like that kind of existing, what it
Speaker 1: does to them and why it might be necessary. And
Speaker 1: then it explores that character and those themes through Yahya
Speaker 1: Ablolom Matein's character, who is an artist. He's kind of
Speaker 1: like he at one point it seems like he was
Speaker 1: successful and did something cool and there was some acclaim
Speaker 1: to him. But now he's like fallen off a bit
Speaker 1: and he's trying to rediscover something and he learns about
Speaker 1: the myth of candy Man and becomes obsessed with it,
Speaker 1: and at the same time, like he has this kind
Speaker 1: of I don't know what the what the nepotism kind
Speaker 1: of element to it, where his girlfriend is in the
Speaker 1: art industry and obviously a lot of people see him
Speaker 1: as being someone who's only succeeding because of her. She's
Speaker 1: in a position where she can put him on. But
Speaker 1: like the idea of it does the exploration of candy
Speaker 1: Man from a socio economic and class perspective, and it's
Speaker 1: really really good, Like what where they go with it
Speaker 1: is really good, But the problem is every step of
Speaker 1: the way, like the horror tropes get in the way
Speaker 1: of that, and the horror tropes are are executed very poorly.
Speaker 1: And there's some shots that are really nice, Like there's
Speaker 1: some like really memorable moments in it, and but overall
Speaker 1: like it. When I was done, I was like, oh God,
Speaker 1: that was a bad I can't recommend it. But if
Speaker 1: you have an interest in anything, like if you have
Speaker 1: an interest in horror, if you have an interest in
Speaker 1: any of the themes that I mentioned, I would check
Speaker 1: it out. It feels like they could do another I
Speaker 1: would love to see someone who's got a stronger vision
Speaker 1: of landing what they tried to go for in this
Speaker 1: movie take another crack at it. Because the candy Man
Speaker 1: mythology is. Candy Man is one of my favorite horrors
Speaker 1: because of like horror movies, because or horror mythology is
Speaker 1: because I was really young when I watched it, and
Speaker 1: the first time I watched it, like I when I
Speaker 1: was younger, I got sick a lot. I was constantly sick,
Speaker 1: so that meant like most of the time I had
Speaker 1: like some sort of fever or something like that. And
Speaker 1: Candy Man was one of the movies that I remember
Speaker 1: watching in the midst of a real bad fever and
Speaker 1: because of that, and it was like proper fever dream shit,
Speaker 1: where like when I was watching it, it like really
Speaker 1: messed me up. That hell Raiser total recall. There's a
Speaker 1: few movies like that I have that like are like
Speaker 1: burned into my mind, and Candy Man is one of them.
Speaker 1: Because of the actor. I forgot his name, but he's
Speaker 1: he's iconic. I forgot his name.
Speaker 4: He's got that voice, yeah, yeah, he's.
Speaker 1: Got an incredible voice. This is gonna annoy me unless
Speaker 1: I find out who is. But like, because because of
Speaker 1: that him his performance, it's really stuck with me, and
Speaker 1: I was sad to see that he really didn't do
Speaker 1: it justice. But I was also I'm also like, I'm
Speaker 1: glad I watched it as a fan of the original.
Speaker 1: I was Tony Todd that's his name, Yes, I was.
Speaker 1: I was happy I watched it, But I can't recommend
Speaker 1: it as a good film. I can recommend it as
Speaker 1: a film you have an academic interest in.
Speaker 7: It is that it is any film that if you
Speaker 7: have interest in like candy Man, horror, or like any
Speaker 7: of the themes like horror explored through socioeconomic class, racial boundaries, oppression,
Speaker 7: that kind of stuff, like, then there is there is
Speaker 7: value in it.
Speaker 1: Also, Tony Toddy is playing Venom.
Speaker 5: In thought there was like this thing about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah yeah. In terms of games, I've been playing
Speaker 1: Hades on stream and I kind of I'm enjoying Hades,
Speaker 1: but there's something about it that I don't It's like
Speaker 1: not sticking with me as a game.
Speaker 3: I want to stream, right, I was gonna say how far.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I think I'm near the end, but like
Speaker 1: obviously the end is is constantly being reset. I think
Speaker 1: there's four bosses in the game, if I remember correctly.
Speaker 3: I don't know if any I never finished them. Hey,
Speaker 3: I'm shit at it, even with God Model.
Speaker 1: So the last boss I beat was was on Stein
Speaker 1: and Smile.
Speaker 4: And yeah, you're on the land, You're at the end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's one more, but like obviously I'm right there,
Speaker 1: which is kind of compelling me to carry on playing it.
Speaker 1: But also I'm like, I don't know, there's something about it.
Speaker 1: I'm just like it's not as engaging because I think
Speaker 1: the thing is like it's the exact combination of being
Speaker 1: challenging but also demanding your attention in a way, I
Speaker 1: feel like it demands your attention more than a game
Speaker 1: a Soul's game, Yeah, because sales games have these kind
Speaker 1: of like peaks and troughs or even in the middle
Speaker 1: of combat, I can speak and try and engage, whereas
Speaker 1: with that game, you're like you're basically doing DDR with
Speaker 1: your fingers, and like it's it's so difficult to stay
Speaker 1: engaged at the same time. So I find it like
Speaker 1: a weird experience. It's like, weirdly more tiring than any
Speaker 1: other stream game that I've played. Yeah, I think I'm
Speaker 1: just going to try and get through it.
Speaker 3: But I was gonna say because I, I mean, I
Speaker 3: play a lot of video games with you, and so
Speaker 3: you know this about me, But like I really struggle
Speaker 3: to talk and play games at the same time. Like
Speaker 3: sometimes we'll just be playing Overwatch or something, and my
Speaker 3: conversation skills just go off a cliff because I just
Speaker 3: have such a limited amount of brain power. Apparently, so
Speaker 3: can either focus. Yeah, I got either focus that's towards
Speaker 3: motor controls or my mouth. And yeah, so that's another
Speaker 3: reason why. Like, but also haities, it's just it's a
Speaker 3: great I find it good, like a meditation y type
Speaker 3: thing though, because you are so focused on it that
Speaker 3: you don't really have time to think about anything else.
Speaker 3: It's fun watching you play on the stream. I wish
Speaker 3: I was on the same time zone so I could
Speaker 3: continue watching your adventure through it soon.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know whether I want to. I
Speaker 1: should probably just finish it. I think I need to
Speaker 1: do some grind runs off off stream to just like
Speaker 1: prove my character a bit more. And then obviously, like
Speaker 1: the tricky thing is, like I right now have beaten
Speaker 1: that boss, I can't confidently say I'll be able to
Speaker 1: beat that boss again because I had a very specific
Speaker 1: setup of boons and abilities and stuff like that. So
Speaker 1: if I go back into it, did you just do
Speaker 1: a lost reference? And then when I said Boone, No,
Speaker 1: there was.
Speaker 3: A bit of dust, so I kind of blew it away.
Speaker 3: But you did say boone sometimes, so it did?
Speaker 1: It did?
Speaker 3: Actually did boon loss?
Speaker 1: Isn't that okay?
Speaker 3: Boone from series one in Summer Holder?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, but that's why I've been playing, uh.
Speaker 2: Jean Luke, I have been playing the only game I've
Speaker 2: been playing anitar Bros. Tell them which we beat? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: talk about it. It's so cute, it's so wholesome and
Speaker 2: just good energy, and it's like what you beat it
Speaker 2: in like four hours, which is beautiful. Love that more
Speaker 2: games like that. It feels. It feels so good to
Speaker 2: just be like, we beat the game. It's already done.
Speaker 2: We did it in like one two sittings. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't have much to say about that game other
Speaker 2: than just like it's adorable and cute and I really
Speaker 2: like taking pictures of animals in games, as it turns out,
Speaker 2: so big fan of that one. Otherwise, me and me
Speaker 2: and Georgia have been doing our Spooky Month Merit Halloween Marathon.
Speaker 2: This is something we've wanted to do for several years,
Speaker 2: but we've just never gotten around to it because they're lazy.
Speaker 2: So this year we're like, we're doing it. So we
Speaker 2: we hit up all our friends and we're like, give
Speaker 2: us recommendations. Friend of the show Matt Pagett got super
Speaker 2: into it and he gave me a massive list. He
Speaker 2: was so excited to give me like a list of
Speaker 2: all these horror movies, which was really sweet and this
Speaker 2: so then we like made a notion page.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, this guy has.
Speaker 2: Got like a calendar and we like put in like
Speaker 2: one for each day. We've Ah, we're halfway through the months,
Speaker 2: so we've actually watched a fair amount of stuff. We
Speaker 2: did fall off a couple of days, but I kind
Speaker 2: of go over the highlights.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: So we started off with The Shining, which I had
Speaker 2: never seen.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah time, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I liked it. Georgia didn't because she's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm just not into a movie where Shelley Davalla is
Speaker 2: suffering for two hours.
Speaker 3: And I was like fair, I mean, I mean, also
Speaker 3: she was in real life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was saying, how really kind of like diminished
Speaker 2: her appreciation of the movie, And I'm like, that's absolutely fair.
Speaker 2: That woman is this I think she's start of that movie.
Speaker 2: She does fantastic job. Yeah, I mean that it's in
Speaker 2: the kind of I feel about a lot of these movies,
Speaker 2: is like none of them like are particularly scary to me.
Speaker 2: But it's just like I think the Shining is just
Speaker 2: such a like they don't make movies like that, you know,
Speaker 2: and even even then, they didn't make movies like that
Speaker 2: because that's the Stanley Cooper joint.
Speaker 3: Very sleep.
Speaker 2: I haven't, but I heard good things about it and
Speaker 2: Matt was recommended.
Speaker 3: To director is a good one. It's a Flannagan finish
Speaker 3: Midnight Mass.
Speaker 1: And Midnight Mass is fucking incredible, Like it is so good.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people, like some people aren't
Speaker 1: as as jazzed on it, But when I was done,
Speaker 1: I was like, this is one of my favorite horror
Speaker 1: experiences in many, many years, and like some standout performances.
Speaker 1: Roll Collie who Ah is someone I know and I
Speaker 1: would consider a friend. Friend of the Show is incredible.
Speaker 1: Friend of the Show is incredible in it, like genuinely amazing.
Speaker 1: Like role is a good actor, but like in this
Speaker 1: he's and I'm playing like extra close attention to it
Speaker 1: because he plays a Muslim character, so I'm putting like
Speaker 1: extra scrutiny on it, and it is like his performance
Speaker 1: is so good. But overall like that, that whole series
Speaker 1: is incredibly strong when it comes to like horror, because
Speaker 1: it's it's not just horror. It does the thing that
Speaker 1: horror the best horror does, where it's an intersection of
Speaker 1: real life and the fantastical and the real life part
Speaker 1: of it being religion and the and the influence of
Speaker 1: it on people. I don't think it's it's a spoiler
Speaker 1: to say that, but given it's called Midnight Mass, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I highly recommend it, especially in the hot Halloween period,
Speaker 1: like if you can. And it's very bingeable despite being
Speaker 1: an hour and episode I think it's eight episodes, Like
Speaker 1: it's one of those like I have to see the
Speaker 1: next episode. I need to see what's going on here.
Speaker 1: And there are some moments which are like truly heartbreaking
Speaker 1: and got wrenching to see happen, and it's fantastic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, wait, is this the show that Greg Miller tweeted
Speaker 4: out about and it made him want to like buy
Speaker 4: some Muslim okay, yeah, which.
Speaker 1: Is which is music to my ears because I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: I had a child, and I was like, I'm going
Speaker 1: to turn that child into a Muslim.
Speaker 2: Here anymore, not to do anything any greg psychically will
Speaker 2: the very least he's gonna be.
Speaker 1: He's going to be and he's going to be aware
Speaker 1: of if some degree, Yeah, Uncle Tom's going to be
Speaker 1: there being like, hey kid.
Speaker 2: That's what I do want to check out because I've yeah,
Speaker 2: like i feel like I've heard enough both like polarizing
Speaker 2: opinions that it's like, Okay, I clearly need to just
Speaker 2: like see this for myself to get my own opinion,
Speaker 2: especially because we the Another thing we watched was Haunting
Speaker 2: of Hill House that we hadn't seen quite like that
Speaker 2: one a.
Speaker 3: Lot that one shot though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not entirely one shot, but but it's close and close.
Speaker 2: I mean it was a thing where I remember like
Speaker 2: hearing about it, like you know when that show came out.
Speaker 2: So I remember like halfway through that episode being like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is the best the episode with the scene the
Speaker 2: one shot.
Speaker 1: I think, I think, yeah, all Flanagan's stuff at Midnight
Speaker 1: Mass is the strongest, and we liked Hill House.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we liked hill House like this. We actually tried
Speaker 2: Blind Manner last year, got two episodes in and was
Speaker 2: like this is boring and turned it off, and then
Speaker 2: like hill which made us actually like hesitant to watch
Speaker 2: Hill House because we're like, oh, I don't know. The
Speaker 2: Hillhouse was like instantly better, like way way better hook
Speaker 2: way stronger characters, so that's good to hear. Definitely want
Speaker 2: to check it out. Probably won't hit it with the
Speaker 2: rest of this month because we kind of realized we
Speaker 2: basically what we ended up doing was we were like, oh,
Speaker 2: we'll watch a movie at night and we'll also watch
Speaker 2: an episode of hill House tonight, and we're like that
Speaker 2: was a mistake. That was too much. So we've we
Speaker 2: kind of like backed off some of our like other
Speaker 2: TV plans, but uh yeah, to briefly go over the
Speaker 2: other stuff, we watched Young Frankenstein, which is very funny.
Speaker 2: I think that's probably of all of all the mel
Speaker 2: Brooks movies, I think that maybe like holds up the
Speaker 2: best in terms of just like the comedy is still
Speaker 2: good and not like got some some stuff in it
Speaker 2: that would make you go like ooh, uh, like I
Speaker 2: love I love Melbrooks, but I think, you know, like
Speaker 2: a lot of this stuff we're being hard to go
Speaker 2: back to. We watched The Ring for the first time,
Speaker 2: which was not as bad as we were expecting. I
Speaker 2: was expecting it to be a lot dumber than it
Speaker 2: was because it's like, it's two thousand and two, it's
Speaker 2: a it's an American adaption of like an Asian you know,
Speaker 2: like horror series. So I was expecting it to be
Speaker 2: real dumb.
Speaker 3: So Naomi Watts that one maybe I want to say, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: and it's still of Abinski.
Speaker 2: It was. It was pretty solid like I thought it
Speaker 2: you know, uh was like well paced. It was like
Speaker 2: creepy and intriguing, like you know, I had like that
Speaker 2: whole series had been like memed On to death when
Speaker 2: I was like in like what middle school about around
Speaker 2: that time. So but like, weirdly enough, like I guess
Speaker 2: it's been like so far removed now that I was
Speaker 2: just kind of able to appreciate it on its own
Speaker 2: as a film, And I was like, yeah, surprisingly solid, uh,
Speaker 2: which was which was cool.
Speaker 3: Me and Jen watched it, and I think Greg was
Speaker 3: there last year or so, and so I'm kind of
Speaker 3: interested in you saying that, like stuff that has been
Speaker 3: memed on a lot, I'm really intrigued to go back
Speaker 3: and watch Black Witch.
Speaker 2: The original same thing. Yeah, yeah, are you sure you want.
Speaker 1: To do that?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: The remake is like I've watched the remake in cinemas
Speaker 3: when it came at few years ago, and I did
Speaker 3: not vibe with that one. But I'm intrigued to go
Speaker 3: back to the original.
Speaker 4: M Yeah, you might not enjoy it. Like it was
Speaker 4: really novel for the time, like the idea of like, yo,
Speaker 4: this is real. They found this footage and they spliced
Speaker 4: it together. This is so spooky that this actually happened.
Speaker 4: But we've we've had that U done better since then.
Speaker 2: So yeah, going off of that, Another movie that is
Speaker 2: like Haralded is like amazing for its day, but I
Speaker 2: think does not hold up was the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Speaker 2: What a boring fucking movie. It's like the first hour
Speaker 2: is just these people just walking around. Nothing happens. One
Speaker 2: of them gets killed and it's over and you're like, oh, wow,
Speaker 2: okay they died, and then then it's just they're walking
Speaker 2: around now and then nothing happens, and then they die
Speaker 2: and then like it's not until the last thirty minutes
Speaker 2: that the movie actually gets a little more interesting because
Speaker 2: that's like when the main girl gets kidnapped and there's
Speaker 2: the whole like family dynamic and the cannibalism and like
Speaker 2: all the stuff that I was like, ah, yes, Resident
Speaker 2: Evil seven, I have seen this, this is where all
Speaker 2: of this comes from. And it's like that was more interesting,
Speaker 2: but more in a like oh okay, I can see
Speaker 2: the influences that other things that have taken and done better,
Speaker 2: But as an actual movie, I was like, well, this
Speaker 2: is just it's pretty dull to be to be honest.
Speaker 2: But thinking about it, I was like, yeah, this must
Speaker 2: have been like shocking in the well was there like seventies.
Speaker 3: Seventies yeah, like I was looking at.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is like the almost like
Speaker 1: the uh, the the seed of found footage movies in
Speaker 1: the way that it hit the the mainstream because people
Speaker 1: thought they should.
Speaker 2: Was well apparently they like they lied to people and
Speaker 2: said like in the marketing based on a true story,
Speaker 2: real events, and it's like, no, it's not at all,
Speaker 2: I don't lie sound and hold.
Speaker 1: Up anything else.
Speaker 2: We saw Psycho, which I did think held up. I
Speaker 2: thought Psycho was fantastic, just really well, like pacede and
Speaker 2: creepy what's his name who plays? Uh, Norman was fantastic. Oh,
Speaker 2: I forget the actor's name, but uh, he's he's really
Speaker 2: good Norman Baits. Yeah, I forget the actor's name, but
Speaker 2: he's really good. Apparently he's really good in all the
Speaker 2: sequels to you, I kind of want to see them now.
Speaker 2: But I I was like, Wow, this holds up really well,
Speaker 2: and and uh, it was like a lot fun to
Speaker 2: watch it. No, because you know, you know the twist,
Speaker 2: like everyone knows what happens in Psycho, but it's like
Speaker 2: it was kind of fun to watch it like and
Speaker 2: imagine not knowing what it is. And I was like, Wow,
Speaker 2: this movie actually does a really good job of like
Speaker 2: making you think this is what's happening and then like
Speaker 2: pulls the rug under under you from the end. So
Speaker 2: I was like ooh, Like thinking about it, this would
Speaker 2: be one of those movies that if I could go
Speaker 2: back and be like, if I could watch a movie
Speaker 2: when it came out without having any knowledge of it,
Speaker 2: I think the original Sticho would be one of them
Speaker 2: because uh yeah, I really really liked it. And then
Speaker 2: last one I'll quickly recommend was Trained to Busan, which is, oh,
Speaker 2: hell yeah, so fucking good.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I.
Speaker 4: Wonder why Hollywood is trying to bastardize it. I'm like,
Speaker 4: this movie is fine.
Speaker 2: It's fine as it is. Yeah, Korean Korean zombie movie.
Speaker 2: I love, love, love love zombie media. I was on
Speaker 2: like a huge kick on that back in like two
Speaker 2: thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, and I think
Speaker 2: this absolutely stands up there with like best of the best,
Speaker 2: with like you know, the original, like Night and Day,
Speaker 2: Living Dead with twenty eight Days Later, like this, this.
Speaker 2: If you are a fan of the zombie genre, this
Speaker 2: is like required viewing. It's so good, and it's also
Speaker 2: really sad, as all zombie media is. Like I kind
Speaker 2: of it's been a while since I watched a zombie thing,
Speaker 2: so like all these other movies are like very good,
Speaker 2: but you know, you're not really sad about them. It's
Speaker 2: just like, oh, I'm scared, and then like the movie's over.
Speaker 2: I forgot that. Like every zombie movie, at the end,
Speaker 2: you just kind of sit there for like an hour
Speaker 2: and you're just like, I'm depressed now.
Speaker 3: Because what is my zombie plan?
Speaker 2: What is my zombie plan? How would I feel if
Speaker 2: I had to do that to my family member? Oh? God?
Speaker 2: And then you, I mean yet the.
Speaker 3: End of the I mean it's not really zombies, but
Speaker 3: the end of the Mist I think is one of
Speaker 3: the most affecting horror media because.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it invokes a lot of the same
Speaker 2: like feelings of just like being trapped and you know,
Speaker 2: then it's like, who's the real monster? Spoiler alert, it's man, Man,
Speaker 2: it's the monster.
Speaker 3: Turns out it's man.
Speaker 1: Have you seen have you seen One of the Dead?
Speaker 2: No, Matt really recommended that one to me though, he
Speaker 2: said that was really Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's a Japanese movie and it's I think that because
Speaker 1: it's more comedy. It's not, but it's meant to be. Really.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was highly recommending that Possessor two. Possessor is
Speaker 3: so good. It's by Cronenberg's son, Yeah, Brandon Cronenberg junior.
Speaker 3: Brandon Cronberg is very very good. It it like made
Speaker 3: me feel so uneasy, like there were bugs under my skin.
Speaker 3: That's that's how you know it's a good film.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, sorry, I have to say one more, I've
Speaker 2: never seen any of these movies, so I finally got
Speaker 2: to experience for the first time Saw, which.
Speaker 3: Have you have you seen The Princess Bride?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, So it took me ever, It took me
Speaker 2: forever to realize it. I was like, who is this?
Speaker 2: I know this guy?
Speaker 3: Yeah, just oh my god. I remember watching that for
Speaker 3: the first time and just seeing my childhood fall away
Speaker 3: is good. First of all, is good selling n f
Speaker 3: T s now so I'm not so good.
Speaker 2: Oh that's that's no good.
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 3: The official account, it's like they're doing.
Speaker 2: N f T s of the well James one is
Speaker 2: not I guess involved in that anymore, which is Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was actually weird. We last night we watched The Conjuring,
Speaker 2: So it's weird to go from like one James wand
Speaker 2: to another and like see the progression. The thing about
Speaker 2: Saw is because again I have all my conceptions like
Speaker 2: what Saw is because I'm just of media and I'm like, ah,
Speaker 2: it's like really gross and gnarly, and that first movie
Speaker 2: one is not as gross and gnarly as I thought.
Speaker 2: And that's probably because they get more gross and gnarly.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming like later like, oh yeah, like a lot
Speaker 2: of it's more implied in the first one. I'm not
Speaker 2: to say it isn't gnarly, like there's still gnarly stuff
Speaker 2: that happens, but it was a lot more reserved, and
Speaker 2: I want to say like seventy percent of the movie
Speaker 2: fell actually like pretty classy horror, where it's like, ooh,
Speaker 2: you're really trying to build an atmosphere and be creepy
Speaker 2: and have like good stuff, and then they just throw
Speaker 2: in these random shots where the camera does like a
Speaker 2: matrix three sixty spin and then the woman's like shaking
Speaker 2: and it like they beat it up by five hundred percent,
Speaker 2: and then this butt rock starts playing and I was like,
Speaker 2: what the like the toe they like James Want's like
Speaker 2: you all this tone, I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: throw it out the fucking window and it's gone.
Speaker 3: Now let's get to keep you on your toes.
Speaker 2: And I was just it was baffling, and it felt
Speaker 2: it felt so extremely like of that era, because I'm
Speaker 2: like when Saw come out, I was like, I was
Speaker 2: like two thousand and three. I was like, okay, that yeah,
Speaker 2: that guy like this is that was kind of what
Speaker 2: I was expecting Ring to be like was like a
Speaker 2: little more stupid and like Saw, it was like we
Speaker 2: want to be cool, but we couldn't help ourselves. We
Speaker 2: had to be like two thousand and three cool, which
Speaker 2: is like so lame now in twenty twenty one, but
Speaker 2: in like a fun way, Like I had a really
Speaker 2: fun time watching it, and I actually I was like,
Speaker 2: you know what, I kind of want to watch the
Speaker 2: rest of these now because I did. I did really
Speaker 2: enjoy my time. Like they're despite like how like gruesome
Speaker 2: of a reputation they have. I think they are extra
Speaker 2: dreamely like entertaining and watchable films, and like I totally
Speaker 2: get like why it as a franchise like exploded and
Speaker 2: they made like fucking ten of them or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is there anything else that you would recommend from
Speaker 1: that on that list? This is this is a Halloween speaker.
Speaker 2: Quite enjoyed Happy Death Day. We watched that one too.
Speaker 2: That was a lot of fun. Happy Death Day is
Speaker 2: just a lot of fun. Uh.
Speaker 1: In terms in terms of games, I was thinking I
Speaker 1: would recommend this is a good opportunity to plug it devotion.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that is on our list, especially because it's
Speaker 2: so you can beat it in like a sitting or two. Right,
Speaker 2: It's like, that's why I did.
Speaker 1: I did it in one setting. It's like four or
Speaker 1: five hours long. That is being the Red Candle Games
Speaker 1: title that was pulled off Steam after a reference to
Speaker 1: the Chinese political figure being Winnie the Pooh is something
Speaker 1: that people in the country have been doing as like
Speaker 1: a form of dissent and mockery. But it got pulled
Speaker 1: off various online platforms, and then it reappeared on Red
Speaker 1: Candle's own website where you can download it entirely DRM
Speaker 1: free and you support I think you can buy it
Speaker 1: with in a pack with detention their previous game. So
Speaker 1: I played through both of those games this year and
Speaker 1: devotion is fantastic, Like it's genuinely so good.
Speaker 3: I've got it.
Speaker 4: I wish I could have I wish I could have
Speaker 4: fought for it in twenty nineteen for top ten, but
Speaker 4: it got pulled like within a week and a half
Speaker 4: of its release, Like no one else has played this coming.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is spectacular. It is also like one of
Speaker 1: those games where if you, if you like, want to
Speaker 1: do Halloween activities with your partner or a you know,
Speaker 1: a roommate or something. It does genuinely benefit from, like
Speaker 1: crowd around the computer and one person plays, because it
Speaker 1: kind of sucks you in, so before you even know it,
Speaker 1: like you're both or multiple people can. You're basically watching
Speaker 1: it in a movie and it's like an interactive enthralling
Speaker 1: experience and you get to there are like very light
Speaker 1: puzzles that I could see people being like check that thing,
Speaker 1: check that thing. And there's open to things that are
Speaker 1: open to interpretation for a little while as well, So
Speaker 1: it kind of enables a bit of theory crafting to
Speaker 1: begin with. But overall like really good mood, really good vibe,
Speaker 1: and by good bad because it's halloweeny, and then like
Speaker 1: it takes some unexpected turns and yeah it's good. It's
Speaker 1: it's super cheap as well, and you'd be supporting a
Speaker 1: developer that is gone through some share it's playing out
Speaker 1: good games. Yeah. Any other final recommendations before we finish up.
Speaker 2: No, but just to kind of give a preview for
Speaker 2: what maybe talk about next week if people want to
Speaker 2: hear more. We're going to watch Halloween. We're gonna watch
Speaker 2: the vv itch uh, the vich re Animator. Ginger snaps Poltergeist.
Speaker 4: Posts, ooh, Ginger snaps.
Speaker 3: Have you seen Hereditary?
Speaker 2: I've seen Hereditary? Did I see it? I saw it
Speaker 2: in theaters? Were you yeah? Yeah? Yeah, I that's a
Speaker 2: good movie. I don't know if I could watch it.
Speaker 3: Very stressful.
Speaker 2: It's really stressful. And I was like very of French
Speaker 2: of Georgia about like, yeah, you probably would like not
Speaker 2: have a good time.
Speaker 1: She she just.
Speaker 2: Doesn't like things where it's just like people are just sad,
Speaker 2: so like she can't watch like Twin Peaks because half
Speaker 2: of the Twin Peaks is just like people crying about,
Speaker 2: like you know, Laura Palmer instead, and she's like, I
Speaker 2: can't watch this. And I was like, you shouldn't watch
Speaker 2: Hereditary because it's just it's just people being very fair,
Speaker 2: very sad. It's a good movie.
Speaker 3: It's a great movie. I just I just want to
Speaker 3: remember Kurt done a very very good list of scary
Speaker 3: games to play. And I'm not gonna say much about
Speaker 3: video because it's not just a listicle. He's done some
Speaker 3: wacky shit with it, based around one of the games
Speaker 3: that he talks about, sink Yway. Right now, if you
Speaker 3: guys want to watch it, it's going up today, So if
Speaker 3: you're listening to this on Friday, will be up very good.
Speaker 3: It's very very good. He's done some little cool edit
Speaker 3: tricks and it's made me scared in my own home
Speaker 3: because of how good the video is. And I'm very
Speaker 3: excited to play the game that he's banging on about
Speaker 3: in it. But I'll leave that as a mystery and
Speaker 3: we'll talk about it next week.
Speaker 1: We will talk about it next week. Because this is
Speaker 1: the end of today's podcast. We are once again for
Speaker 1: going the male section, just because, as we talked about
Speaker 1: last week, we're on extremely tight deadlines right now, and
Speaker 1: that means an time zones, and that means that a
Speaker 1: podcast is generally shorter than we'd ordinarily like to. But
Speaker 1: hopefully we'll be getting back to the longer media podcast
Speaker 1: with a little more segments soon once we're all back
Speaker 1: on the same time zone and can actually talk at
Speaker 1: length about the things that we're doing. So I apologize again.
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, where can people find you?
Speaker 2: Jean, look can find me where you are at Chilick Psyche.
Speaker 2: I'm making video about redacted, but again you'll know what
Speaker 2: it is. You could just go to our YouTube channel
Speaker 2: and you'll know exactly what the game is.
