The Hunger Games Part 1 Chapters 4 and 5

We've made it to the Capitol! But first we've got to talk about something very important: The 7th Saga, a SNES RPG with barely any merch. We've also got our first Hunger Games listicle. Our chapters this week are full of dizzying ups and downs: brutally honest characterization and heartfelt drama alongside ridiculous action movie antics and some puzzling portrayals of a society so depraved it... wears a lot of makeup? Hmm. We chat through our feelings on whether or not the story is portraying cruel opinions a character has or simply espousing them itself, wonder aloud what synthetic fire is, and beg to know what the other costumes in the ceremony were.

SHHG! Episode 3: The Jay Gatsby Who Was On Fire

Tanya and Jonathan share impressions of the first few hours of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and sing out the apology for the Gollum game to the tune of It's So Easy Not To Try from The Return of the King animated film.  Gretchen talks about how causal games are too hardcore for her, and Kim Spirit gushes about the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake and the multiple versions of Resident Evil 4 that eventually became other games. 

This episode is dedicate to James Franklin Holmes, 1970-2023

Assassin's Creed, Dungeon Bitches, Super Slide and Bit.Trip

You are in a egg. Oh it is such a big a egg. But you want to be free of a egg. You crack open the tippy-top of a egg. Oh! It is so bright! It is so frightening! Perhap you would prefer to stay in a egg.

But then your eyes adjust to the light of the world that is not a egg. You see three faces. They are lovely faces, all shaped like a egg. One face is called Steve. He says he will tell you the shipping news, and about an indiscretion with his junk in a park. Another face is called Joe. He regales you about yoghurt. What is yoghurt? Is it also from a egg? The final face is called Log. He tells you about his haunted house, Blyth Manor - and that it contains a egg.

A egg! You must leave. You must leave a egg to find out more about all the a eggs around. It is time.

Money for a egg?

540: A egg.

Two brothers embark on a spooktacular journey playing horror video games old and new to decide whether they're scary enough to earn a permanent spot in your grindhouse collection or if they deserve to be buried in a shallow grave behind Blockbuster Video.
