Episode 91: Like a Werewolf in the Weeds | FromSoftware... Sort Of

Oh wow. We've got a heater of an episode for you today.

This time around, Sean and Brad are joined by first ever Queen Venerator guest Joe to discuss the work of Japanese video game publisher FromSoftware.

Kind of.

Look, there's a decent amount of discussion about FromSoft throughout their long, illustrious history, and yes Joe does a wonderful job conveying the true emotional pull these games can have on people, and yes we discuss Joe's infamously peculiar FromSoft collection.

But lets face it, the Queen Venerator crew get distracted easily, so they break off into a multitude of tangents.

The topics discussed are as wide-ranging as the Nick Jr. show Little Bear, David the Gnome, Total Recall, Shogun, Michael Mann specifically The Keep this time, Scott Glenn (of course), The Wire, Joe Lieberman meeting the Mortal Kombat Toasty guy in hell (I know its Dan Forden, calm down), the death of the Twitch Watch Party, Dan Ryckert's joy about Event Horizon, the 1991 Hiroyuki Kitakubo and Katsuhiro Otomo anime movie Roujin Z, the 1980 Troma released, kids-as-zombie-microwaves movie The Children, Cutlery Corner, MORE Siskel and Ebert talk, The Black Stallion: the greatest movie of ours and any generation, Justin Wong at Evo, Brad's continued Dead Cells obsession, Sean sneaking off to make memes, Sean surrupticiously eating a Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito, Maria Menounos and her cook books, Cheddar TV: TV for gas stations, Dragons Dogma 2 meat, Brad explains the Goo Crew and Joey's World Tour, Helldivers, Graveyard Keeper, those fake bowling animation videos, Ninja Gaiden, Low-G: The Low Gravity Man, and of course, Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects.

Finally, we introduce two new segments on this show.

First, we have what will clearly be a long-running feature: Sean Reads the Entirity of the Toxic Zombies Wikipedia Page, a real rollercoaster of emotions segment.

 Finally, after months of threats, Brad finally unleashes his wretched creation on the world: The Board of Many Things, a fifty category monstrosity used to select the topic of the next show. What did Sean win from the one armed bandit this week? This isn't a mixed metaphor, stop saying its a mixed metaphor. Whatever, you'll have to listen to find out.
