I listened to this twice and will come back to it. This is probably what got me to (belatedly) sign up to the Patreon to be honest.

One for the history books. I appreciate the amount of time and effort. Although many wish for this to be a one time thing, I would suggest thusly: Should by the grace of the gaming gods, you record an episode some day and lose only Tim's audio, that Frank then narrate. Not any time soon for your sake, but I think it'd be fun. Tails Satan!

This was a wonderful episode, thank you doing it this way instead of any other.

next time

tbh I would have been satisfied if you'd dropped a vocaloid in and said tonight the role of Frank was going to be played by K.K. Slider, but I'm glad you put in the effort.

I can empathize with that. It’s how I feel about the company as a whole.

(brandon:) I got into it in greater detail on the forums - I don't dislike the criterion channel, I just find it positions itself as an authority in a way I don't like. the content of tubi is well described here: https://www.theonion.com/tubi-ceo-combs-through-goodwill-used-dvds-looking-for-m-1850262553

Brandon, for what it’s worth I have a lot of problems with the Criterion Collection itself but the streaming service has done a pretty good job in recent years of licensing more esoteric stuff from companies that specialize in genre/‘trash’ cinema. I have never looked at Tubi though so idk how it compares.

Between this episode, the noise album reimagining, and the amazing general discussions and coverage of the past months you have all been on fire! The collective effort to make this episode happen is just outstanding, and just goes to show how flexible and creative the team can be to turn a potential lemon of a situation into lemonade. Simone was a joy to have join the episode, and totally agree about the board game points. Having that one person to push everyone past the intro stage can definitely make the difference on whether or not you have a good time.

(brandon:) I have a suspicion everyone who is saying this saw you said that people would say this :3

I predicted people would say this as soon as Tim pitched the remedial concept.

Can’t imagine how time consuming this was to do, but excellent work! Happy to see Simone here as well, love her work at Polygon 🔥

Simone rocks. Great guest.

Clancy Bundy

(brandon:) will do!

I love that you did this and hope it stands alone forever. This may be my favorite episode.

When you tweeted that you lost a panelist’s audio this is exactly what I was hoping you would do to solve the problem. Very excited to listen. 🙏🏻

Spirit Possession owns 🔥 anything on Profound Lore owns but that band has been ripping. Check out the new Impetuous Ritual tracks too off of PL bandcamp page! Fast and furious!!
