When did I subscribe to How Stories Work with Jay Sherer? Well... technically, you didn't. This is The Story Geeks channel, but undergoing our new REBRAND! Don't worry, I think you'll continue to dig the content. But, I also wanted to let you know a bit more about the change in today's episode. Here are some highlights: Personal Thanks: I have been exceedingly blessed by all your support and encouragement and by our interaction over the years! Thank you for being a part of our support system! It means so much to me! Team Thanks: I'm also exceedingly grateful to The Story Geeks team and everything they've done over the last 5 years! They've been amazing! Branding Update: I'm rolling out an entirely new show. It's very similar to The Story Geeks, but also has some major differences. The new show will be called How Stories Work with Jay Sherer. I've resisted "personal branding" for a long time, but now I'm leaning into it a bit more. It's a bit scary, but I think (hope!) it's going to be good! Changes: Here's a brief list of what's changing: The Story Geeks podcast channel - same feed, but re-branded to How Stories Work with Jay Sherer. No need to subscribe somewhere else. The Art of Storytelling - The Story Geeks YouTube channel - same channel, but re-branded to How Stories Work with Jay Sherer. No need to subscribe somewhere else. The Story Geeks Twitter - same account, but rebranded to @StorytellingHSW. No need to follow a new account. The Story Geeks Instagram account - same account, but rebranded to @howstorieswork. No need to follow a new account. The Story Geeks Facebook Group - will remain active, but long-term I won't post as much here. Sorry! HERE'S THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE... The OLD Patreon account will be deactivated... The NEW Patreon account will be here: https://www.patreon.com/howstorieswork Why would I change Patreon accounts? Well, I didn't want to assume that all you amazing people would want to keep supporting my new channel. Yes, it's VERY similar, but it's not the same and it doesn't seem right to switch it without giving you the option of no longer supporting me. But know this, whether or not you choose to keep supporting me (and the Reclamation Society), I have been THRILLED and HUMBLED by all your support thus far. I hope you'll support the new show over at https://www.patreon.com/howstorieswork, but I will TOTALLY understand if you choose not to. You're all wonderful people, amazing supporters, and on behalf of our whole team, we are SO GRATEFUL for all you've meant to us! Jay Sherer (always and forever a Story Geek) PS. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me!

Jay & Nathan's Novel, Death of a Bounty Hunter: https://dbh-new.carrd.co/ (Death of a Bounty Hunter is a semi-finalist in Screencraft's Cinematic Book Competition!) Transcript of Questions from The Crow (1994) Review and Reaction Podcast: Today on The Story Geeks podcast: ...90s Goth kids rejoice—and I mean that in the most brooding way possible—we're talking about 1994's comic book classic: The Crow! But before we get into that, we've got a fascinating new sponsor… a participatory-arts podcast. At the end of this episode I'll play a trailer, and you should listen because it's a fascinating concept. It's called SYGNYL—S-Y-G-N-Y-L—and it just launched, so if you find this concept interesting go check it out. SYGNYL subtly invites listeners into a hidden world that exists all around you. And here's where it gets really interesting. In each episode, a soothing voice will dare you to complete small, collaborative acts… in the real world. Trippy, right? And super interesting. Through magical realism, the SYGNYL becomes a new vessel for ancient wisdom and a medicine for the troubles currently ailing our world. Will YOU choose to follow the instructions within? Visit SYGNYL.com, S-Y-G-N-Y-L dot com to check it out, and like I said, I'll play a clip for you at the end of this show. Let's get into it: 1994's R-rated Gothic romance slash revenge flick, The Crow. The Crow came out in 1994, was very Goth, very Occult, and had a super 90s soundtrack—The Cure, Stone Temple Pilots, RATM, Violent Femmes, NIN—but in many ways, it was far ahead of its time. It made use of face-replacement technology that, prior to The Crow's release, had only been used in Jurassic Park. It was a box office success, taking the #1 spot opening weekend. But it gained even more success once it went to VHS/DVD. And, of course, comic book films were a rarity in that time. Do you think The Crow still stands the test of time? What hasn't aged well with The Crow? There were a ton of accidents and incidents that happened behind the scenes in The Crow, so much so many say the film was cursed. Various cast and crew members suffered a variety of injuries and of course there was Brandon Lee's tragic on-set death by a faulty prop gun. Do you think the behind-the-scenes tragedies led to The Crow's success or would it have stood on its own? The Crow is rated R. And it truly lived up to that rating—with graphic content. Today we wonder if comic book movies should be rated R, or if they should be made with a broader and younger audience in mind. But The Crow gave no Fs about its R rating. What has changed in the comic book world and society? We often talk about the “why” of a character. The catalyst that starts the protagonist on the hero's journey. For The Crow, this catalyst is built off “fridging,” which is a term for a comic book trope where the death of a female character serves as a catalyst for the hero's journey. Does it work in The Crow? Why or why not? (Before we dive in, I think it's important to point out that James O'Barr, author and artist of The Crow comic book series, lost his fiancé in a car accident with a drunk driver.) Is The Crow (Eric Draven) a hero, a villain, an antihero, or something else entirely? Does it work? What makes it work? The Crow centers on bringing a soul back to “make things right.” There's a whole genre of films dedicated to revenge fantasies—John Wick, The Crow, a bunch of B-movie Bruce Willis movies. These are essentially a blend of grief fulfillment and the quest for justice. What makes this a compelling concept? And, for The Crow, what would justice actually look like? Does revenge play a role in justice at all? The Crow is a Goth movie. What does it mean to be Goth and what attracts people to Goth culture? What do Goth fans crave that society isn't giving them? The Crow reboot has been put on hold indefinitely. Is it worth remaking considering how underwhelming the sequels have been? And who would you cast in The Crow? That's it for today's show! Don't forget to subscribe to The Story Geeks podcast on YouTube or your preferred podcast provider. And make sure you check out Death of a Bounty Hunter, the book I co-wrote, AND the new participatory-arts podcast, SYGNYL. Thanks for listening, and as always: Question everything... and always seek the Truth.

A Storytelling-Driven Indie Video Game - This Week We Play WHAT REMAINS OF EDITH FINCH! Casual gamer Justin Weaver and serious gamer Ryan Swindoll are joined by Nick Duke to dig deeper into Outer Wilds! Here are the topics from today's conversation: The various themes found in Outer Wilds by Mobius Digital. Ryan calls this his favorite game of 2019. What makes it so amazing? What is it like to play an open world game without levels and quest lines? How can a game explore ideas as different as quantum mechanics and roasting marshmallows at a campfire? How the frustration Justin experienced playing this game taught him about himself. We discuss the various planets and rules of this solar system. Music is such a powerful tool for storytelling, and this game used it in some surprising and effective ways. What is the Eye of the Universe? Is it another Quantum Mechanic or is it a picture of God? We also talk about all the times we crashed and died! Stay tuned to The Story Geeks Podcast for our next episode as co-hosts Sandra, Nataly, and Cilla dig deeper into Mulan with Alan Ng from Film Threat! Mulan just came out on September 4th on Disney+.

A Storytelling-Driven Indie Video Game - This Week We Play WHAT REMAINS OF EDITH FINCH! Casual gamer Justin Weaver and serious gamer Ryan Swindoll are joined by Jimmy Roth to dig deeper into What Remains of Edith Finch, a storytelling-driven indie video game! In our fourth episode discussing a specific video game Ryan Swindoll and Justin Weaver are joined by their friend Jimmy Roth, who has been a huge contributor to the conversations on The Story Geeks Facebook Group. Together they will explore the various themes found in What Remains of Edith Finch by Giant Sparrow. What Remains of Edith Finch takes about 2 hours for many players to complete and is probably the easiest game on our curated list to watch as a "movie." We highly recommend playing or viewing it before you listen to our podcast. This game asks us to consider how we approach death and invites us to consider the joy of people's lives, regardless how long or short. We explore the nature of "magical realism" in the tall tales we see throughout the game. How did you interpret the various stories, like Odin Finch sailing his house from Norway to Washington State? Is Jimmy's Grandpa the best storyteller ever? Let us know what you think. Do you agree with our conclusions? Did we miss something? We want to hear what you are thinking about after exploring the Finch house and learning so many family secrets with Edith. Keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming conversation about What Remains of Edith Finch on The Story Geeks Youtube Channel! Join us for our next conversation on OUTER WILDS by Mobius Digital.

Horror, Indie Video Games, and Deeper Insights - This Week We Play INSIDE by Playdead! Casual gamer Justin Weaver and serious gamer Ryan Swindoll are joined by The Story Geeks co-host Sandra Dimas to dig deeper into Inside, a horror indie video game by Playdead! Inside (the game) can take around 3 and a half hours to complete and rewards replay. It can also be viewed on youtube with or without a player commentary in less than 2 hours. IGN gave this game a 10 out of 10. It is the "spiritual sequel" to Playdead's first game Limbo. This game is rated M for blood, gore, and violence. Spoiler Warning: we jump right into the content and experience of this whole game. What does a game that centers heavily on mind control have to say about the value of individuals? The game's creators have said very little about the meaning of this game, so how do we handle the variety of possible interpretations? Is the monstrous Huddle (or "Human Meatball") the most human thing in the game? How can we find hope in such dark stories? Let us know what you think. Do you agree with our conclusions? Did we miss something? We want to hear what you think is going on Inside. Join us for our next conversation on What Remains of Edith Finch by Giant Sparrow with special guest, Jimmy Roth.

Journey. An award-winning indie video game with deep spiritual underpinnings. Casual gamer Justin Weaver and serious gamer Ryan Swindoll dig deeper into Journey! On today's show: In our second episode discussing a specific indie video game, we take a closer look at Journey by thatgamecompany. This game is less than two hours long and rewards replay. This is a BAFTA award winning game, and holds the Guinness World Record for “most mainstream game awards won by an indie video game.” Austin Wintory's gorgeous soundtrack for this game was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media category. The first game soundtrack to be considered for this award. Is this the perfect game to play during this time of social distancing? What does this game have to say about trauma, obstacles and struggles? What is this game an analogy for? Is this a picture of reincarnation? Is this a metaphor for a "spiritual journey"? How is it possible to have an entire game with no written or audible language? Ryan and Justin talked for over two hours about this game, so there is a planned second podcast from all the topics we had to cut that will be exclusive to Patreon supporters coming in the future. To watch the #ourjourney video we highlight in the podcast click here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5px3qZQYoD4 Let us know what you think. Do you agree with our conclusions? Did we miss something? We look forward to continuing on this journey with you. Up next on our indie video game series: Inside by Playdead!
