Ep. 4: "Miss Cloud is Giving Us FINAL Fantasy!" (Final Fantasy VII Remake)

Whew y'all, this week is a BIG one! We're discussing one of our favorite games of the year: Final Fantasy VII Remake -- a massive, ambitious RPG that endeavors to recreate one of the most beloved video games of all time. 

We talk about the game's beautiful world, music, and characters, how it reckons with it's own dated & problematic past (looking at YOU, HoneyBee Inn), Cloud Strife's drag moment, and of course, the sexy sexy eco-terrorists of AVALANCHE.

Aside from one scene from the middle of the game which we talk about at length (the gayest scene, obviously) we keep it **spoiler-free** this week! So whether you have or haven't played this game, only played the original, or have never touched a Final Fantasy game in your life, we hope to provide some insight into what makes this game such an iconic part of the video game canon.

In addition to ALL of that, we talk about upcoming TV/movie adaptations of video games, Universal Studios' Super Nintendo World, and our plans for our upcoming GAME OF THE YEAR podcast.
