Expect SPOILERS!! And we're back! We recorded this episode way back in January 27, but due to a lot of life things, it just wasn't finished editing until recently. This is quite a long one as we discuss PlayStation Exclusives (or in the case of Horizon, previously exclusive) and predict where the sequel may take the games; as such, we've split this recording into 3 segments (although you can listen to it in full on our YouTube channel!) This segment focuses on Horizon, which isn't a very long discussion since Horizon is a completely new IP that doesn't use any previous established lore to go on! At the time, Distro and Cashwrap had not completed Horizon, so this first segment is only with Cyrus and Tradehold!

As the title suggests, this is the first one of these. The plan is that an episode will be going out every fortnight. This episode's film is Stalker, directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. It stars Aleksandr Kaydanovskiy, Anatoliy Solonitsyn, and Nikolay Grinko. The first ten minutes or so of the podcast are non-spoilery but from then on EXPECT SPOILERS.   My guest is the most excellent Lyn Setchell. Many thanks to Owen Choules and Chris Mead of Classic Schmassic for their inspiration (and let's face it, essentially their format).

Expect SPOILERS on the Inhumans review

In this episode, SPJ returns and questions the names of everything. Milky is curious about Prince Alberts. Pouch is accused of enjoying animals getting into fisticuffs with humans. Expect SPOILERS during Semi-Plot. Pouch here. SPJ is back and seemingly questioning everything in life, causing him to formulate several mysteries.
