In lieu of early episodes this week, due to a wildly erratic schedule, you'll be receiving a 3-minute preview of Alessio and James's latest film project—HATE.
Likewise, the timeline for bonuses is as-follows:
- "Thank You" videos will be posted THIS TUESDAY NIGHT CST (09.25) for all $10+ Patrons. You'll get a kick out of them.
- #77 on Terminator 2 is scheduled to be edited and ready for you all THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT CST (09.26) as well.
- Further announcements regarding HATE also release later this week for those who are interested.
On this month's second Patron Club episode, the gang gets together to discuss Guerrilla Games' 2017 open-world epic, Horizon Zero Dawn. Fun tie-in: the game's engine (the Decima Engine) is the foundation of Kojima Productions' Death Stranding title.
Here's a very special post for all of our Patrons. To celebrate the upcoming release of Alessio and James's latest short film, we wanted to release it one-week early, just for our MGM fans and supporters.
The video password is "mother01," and please don't share (the comma is part of the punctuation of this sentence and not part of the password). The link will remain up, but a public version will release Sept. 12th, so get those clicking/sharing fingers ready!
If you're looking for a shareable video to help tease the imminent release, feel free to pass this trailer around: https://vimeo.com/285662913
Early Access to EXTRA-OPS #02 will be coming very soon, as well as episodes 75 + 76 of MGM proper. Expect some updates this evening re: the EO episode and tomorrow evening/Wednesday AM re: the beginning of our film season.
MGM's Patron Club #05 will be uploaded to Patreon later this evening (it is available in the Patron Club RSS Feed for appropriate Patrons at this moment), as most of the cast/production team is traveling.
Have a great Labor Day to our U.S. listeners, and happy Monday to everyone else!
On our first EXTRA-OP, the cast tackles listener-requested MGSV player tips.
Also—for any Patrons who don't listen to these episodes on the Patreon page, but instead copy and paste the RSS feed link into your pod catcher of choice, we'll be disabling the Patreon user-links and using two MGM controlled feeds (linked below) due to a weird technical snafu currently happening with PodBean.
We read your responses to Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. There was a last minute addition (essentially doubling the episode's recording time) with a lot of fun twists and turns. Listen through to the end!
The updated episode 73 edit should release within the next 24 hours. We believe we've resolved the source of the odd audio issues. Also, anticipate the first Metal Gear Mondays EXTRA-OP in the next day or two!
With the Peace Walker season midway through public airing, but nearly complete for Patrons, we're looking to the future. Before MGM takes on its first movie reviews and digs deep into Hideo Kojima's rich cinephile history, we'd love to address some minor topics through our EXTRA-OP content.
Right now, we know that the crew for sure wants to record an episode on Metal Gear Solid V Tips and Tricks. Outside of that, we leave the final judgement up to you!
Which episode topic would be most interesting to you? The top two picks will be our next two EXTRA-OPs.
Closing out our Metal Gear Mondays coverage of Peace Walker, we dive into the EXTRA-OPS, CO-OPS, and unlockable secrets.
Have a favorite EXTRA-OP or moment? Our listener response episode is coming next! If you didn't write a note to the show in time, don't fret. We'll read it on the next listener response episode! Reach out over Patreon, Twitter, Facebook, or email (acsummerfield [at] gmail [dot] com).

The second episode of our Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker season is out now for Patrons! This episode covers the beginning of the game proper through to the final A.I. boss battle in Chapter Three.

Which means, that now for as little as $2 a month, you now all have access to the full seasons AND the Patron Club bonus podcast (2 episodes a month). Enjoy!

It's finally time to tackle the missing-link between Metal Gear Solid 3 and Ground Zeroes/The Phantom Pain. This season, the gang discusses Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker!
This episode focuses mainly on the mechanics and development of Peace Walker, while tackling more of the generalities of the title before we dive into the story portions moving forward.

On this month's MGM Patron Club episode, the gang discusses David Cage's "Beyond Two Souls." Stay tuned in towards the end for a special discussion of Detroit.
Obviously, spoilers are present for Beyond, and be weary that there may be some mild spoilers for Detroit.
In a pre-Peace Walker season episode, James, Alessio, Sam, and Isaac finally finish ALL spin-off discussion by covering all of the Metal Gear cameos in fighting games and discussing Snake's inclusion in the recently announced Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

I wanted to pass this over to all $5+ patrons. It's a Dropbox link containing the MP3s for every episode of the show released to date.
Keep checking this, if you're ever unsure of what episodes are available, as this is the direct-line to a repository mirroring the source feed for the show.
These may go down, get replaced, or get updated from time to time, as we "patch" the episodes with current Patreon links, etc.
On episode 68 of Metal Gear Mondays, the gang sifts through hundreds of Metal Gear fanfiction documents to present a curated four stories to you. Also, each member of this episode's panel has brought four original stories that they created just for the show.
This week, Metal Gear Mondays covers all of the Metal Gear Mobile games. The conversation waxes and wanes between AAA mobile ports, mobile spin-offs, companion apps, and overall N-Gage flavored discussion, but we try to stay on topic.
Sam and Alessio recorded some off-the-cuff podcast promo plugs for Metal Gear Mondays to appear on a true-crime podcast. These are those recording sessions, as well as some bonus pre-roll plugs.
Just some goofs and gaffs that we wanted to share with our Patrons for supporting the show!
Thanks for supporting Metal Gear Mondays! Since the first episode of the new season has already released, please enjoy this early access to the second episode of the season.
