    On the first official "Side Quest" episode Michael & Matthew talk about one of the GOATS of video game history SILENT HILL 2. (*SPOILERS* abound in this episode.  If you have not played the game, go play it is widely accessible.) Considered one of the very best in the psychological horror genre the game has a remake coming out which looks promising. SILENT HILL 2 is known for its fog, atmosphere, terrifying sound design, iconic enemies (Pyramid Head), pacing and writing that were way above and beyond back in its initial 2001 release on PlayStation 2.   They also discuss some of the game's influences like the novel Crime & Punishment, Jacob's Ladder and David Lynch films. The Lynch influence is most felt in the voice acting which is wonderfully "off" and cryptic. They also comment on the Last of Us TV show series finale (which was was 10/10), Black Summer on Netflix, Remakes more broadly and the other entries in the Silent Hill franchise including Silent Hill 3 and Silent Hill 4:The Room.   Thank you for listening!

    Today's interview is with Gabriel Lakey and Ian Fowler the writer and directors of the upcoming alt-noir comedy “Punched After the Fact” Fowler is an accomplished Portland filmmaker and his previous award winning “Crazy/Right” was released in 2017 to much acclaim. Lakey has worked with upcoming musicians like Adam Knight and Hollywood star Adrian Greiner (Entourage, Devil Wears Prada). They are getting close to being able to release the film and we discuss how their collaboration began, the independent filmmaking process, DIY lighting and cinematography, the importance of drive and just how overblown budgets can be for major studio releases.  We also discuss their influences and what recent films they admire.  I am very excited to see Punched After the Fact once it is released and will definitely give my thoughts on the film.  I really enjoyed this conversation and learned a lot.  Hope you do as well.  Thank you for listening! - Michael Be sure to support the film and follow Gabriel and Ian here: https://www.instagram.com/punchedafterthefact/ https://m.imdb.com/title/tt10914372/?ref_=m_ttmi_tt https://www.instagram.com/iansfowler/ https://www.instagram.com/glakeyvideo/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pedestrian-at-best/message
