Baggy trousers, hanging shirts, tentacles and Furry flirts! Ben and Tao reminisce about school days gone by after trying to get laid in supernatural dating sim, Monster Prom. The innuendo filled discussion bounces from hentai to bestiality, UK vs UK cultural touchstones to what constitutes critical acclaim, and a voiceless new contributor joins in from the wings: Tao’s mysteriously anonymous vampire girlfriend (or so he says). Both hosts profess to(o) much ignorance of online pornographic kinks, Ben finds dating every bit as tough as he remembers, and Tao surprises no-one revealing a Furry fetish. Sort of. No story spoilers. Content Warning: PEGI 13. An explicit, hypersexual discussion including many taboos and tone-deaf singing. Keep your pets locked up! Clarifications:The original soundtrack to Monster Prom was composed by Claudi MartinezWeebl’s Stuff was a 2002 era flash website. It still exists as a shadow of its former self.Here’s Polygon writers Jeff Ramos and Allegra Frank offering the flipside of our discussion: https://www.polygon.com/2018/5/2/17304752/monster-promAudio extracts:Baggy Trousers by MadnessByker Grove theme tuneThe Inbetweeners theme (instrumental)Press Gang themeNelson from The SimpsonsDr Hakim from It Takes TwoChristopher Walken SNL ‘gotta have more cowbell’Just the two of us by Bill WithersMass Effect (Tali)Monsters UniversityMonsters IncHolding Out For A Hero by Bonnie TylerMona The Vampire opening titlesMonster Prom’s kickstarterFriday Night LightsBadger Badger - Weebl’s StuffAlexandre Desplat’s theme to The Shape of WaterYamete memeJurassic Park (1993)Arrested Development Mr FAn American Werewolf in London by Elmer BernsteinThe Animals of Farthing Wood theme (1993-1995)Paradise Killer OST - The Lemegeton BopBack to the FutureSuperbad - Michael Cera sings ‘These Eyes’Blind Date with Cilla BlackAge of Empires 2 themePatreon: https://www.patreon.com/pixelvisionpodTwitter: @pixelvizEmail: pixelvisionpodcast@gmail.com Get full access to Pixel Vision at www.pixelvision.net/subscribe
