2021-11-19 02:58:35 +0000 UTCI kept meaning to comment that I saw Jenna's very entertaining video that references that particular "fun stinger" at game over, and how much it blew my mind when I realized that it wasn't an IC original upon hearing it lmao...And now she is on the show talkin about it! Great episode and great guest!

2021-11-15 13:05:53 +0000 UTCthe psycho shower scene of video games is sephiroth killing aerith. janet leigh (the scene's victim) was billed as the lead and the fact that she is killed so early in the film led hitchcock and the producers to bar entry to anybody showing up to a screening late so as not to ruin the surprise.
