Hi everybody! As a holiday gift from me to you, I'm releasing this preview of the Best Little Horror House in Philly Patreon - as I mention frequently at the end of episodes, the Patreon is a place where returning guests and I can talk about things that don't necessarily fit the criteria of "best horror movie ever made". Sometimes that's movies that are more interesting than great, sometimes its ranking stuff like our favorite Treehouse of Horror segments, but also, in cases like todays The Last of Us Part II with Kevin Bartelt, sometimes we talk about alternative media like video games. They also tend to be a little looser - I did call this a preview, and that's what it is, because the full version of this episode is 142 minutes, continuing on to talk about the plot and themes of the game on a more beat by beat level, then summing up what makes the game so interesting. So if you enjoy it, consider signing up! There's a lot more of not just this episode but the bonus episodes I've been describing, extra commentaries, early access to normal episodes, and you can support the show for my active decision to not be forcing annoying ads upon you this whole time.  Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year too! Don't forget BLHHiP is going bi-weekly! 

PLUTEMBER 2022 CONTINUES, BABY - and that can only mean Mike Regan is here to discuss a James Wan One, Malignant! We're talking about the Flash was made, Gabriel's Marshall Mcluhan podcast, how much to age that photo up by... AND PARASITIC TWINSSSSSSS!!!! Don't miss out on this very goofy, very fun episode! We're having a good time! ----more----PLUS: Check out the BLHHiP Patreon to get early access to episodes, bonus episodes, discord access and more! Most recent bonuses include a spotlight on Human Centipede 2 with Nate Kiley and another on Basket Case 3 with Taylor Moore. December's is a huge ep on The Last of Us Part II with Kevin Bartelt!

In Wandering Games (MIT Press, 2022), Melissa Kagen analyzes wandering within different game worlds, viewed through the lenses of work, colonialism, gender, and death. Wandering in games can be a theme, a formal mode, an aesthetic metaphor, or a player action. It can mean walking, escaping, traversing, meandering, or returning. Kagen introduces the concept of “wandering games,” exploring the uses of wandering in a variety of game worlds. She shows how the much-derided Walking Simulator—a term that began as an insult, a denigration of games that are less violent, less task-oriented, or less difficult to complete—semi-accidentally tapped into something brilliant: the vast heritage and intellectual history of the concept of walking in fiction, philosophy, pilgrimage, performance, and protest. Kagen examines wandering in a series of games that vary widely in terms of genre, mechanics, themes, player base, studio size, and funding, giving close readings to Return of the Obra Dinn, Eastshade, Ritual of the Moon, 80 Days, Heaven's Vault, Death Stranding, and The Last of Us Part II. Exploring the connotations of wandering within these different game worlds, she considers how ideologies of work, gender, colonialism, and death inflect the ways we wander through digital spaces. Overlapping and intersecting, each provides a multifaceted lens through which to understand what wandering does, lacks, implies, and offers. Kagen's account will attune game designers, players, and scholars to the myriad possibilities of the wandering ludic body. Rebekah Buchanan is a Professor of English and Director of English Education at Western Illinois University. Her research focuses on feminism, activism, and literacy practices in youth culture, specifically through zines and music. Learn more about your ad choices.

Wandering in games can be a theme, a formal mode, an aesthetic metaphor, or a player action. It can mean walking, escaping, traversing, meandering, or returning. Kagen introduces the concept of “wandering games,” exploring the uses of wandering in a variety of game worlds. She shows how the much-derided Walking Simulator—a term that began as an insult, a denigration of games that are less violent, less task-oriented, or less difficult to complete—semi-accidentally tapped into something brilliant: the vast heritage and intellectual history of the concept of walking in fiction, philosophy, pilgrimage, performance, and protest. Kagen examines wandering in a series of games that vary widely in terms of genre, mechanics, themes, player base, studio size, and funding, giving close readings to Return of the Obra Dinn, Eastshade, Ritual of the Moon, 80 Days, Heaven's Vault, Death Stranding, and The Last of Us Part II. Exploring the connotations of wandering within these different game worlds, she considers how ideologies of work, gender, colonialism, and death inflect the ways we wander through digital spaces. Overlapping and intersecting, each provides a multifaceted lens through which to understand what wandering does, lacks, implies, and offers. Kagen's account will attune game designers, players, and scholars to the myriad possibilities of the wandering ludic body. Rebekah Buchanan is a Professor of English and Director of English Education at Western Illinois University. Her research focuses on feminism, activism, and literacy practices in youth culture, specifically through zines and music. Learn more about your ad choices.

After fleeing their home for a week, Luna and her two children now return to their home where unexplained activity has plagued them for the last 7 years. Disturbing sightings, unsettling sounds, foul odors, and more upsetting, physical attacks, are just a few of the paranormal experiences Luna, Finn and Shiloh have had to live with. After conducting the first phone interview with Luna, which you heard in the previous episode, it was revealed to Stephen that there were a lot of layers to this residential haunting. Layers he still wanted to uncover and shed light on before attempting an actual investigation of the home with his team. There were elements of this case that were red flags and warnings the team needed to heed. Being prepared for this particular case was crucial. Stephen decided he needed to hear from other members of the household before diving into a potentially dangerous investigation. Dangerous in that they have a family who is frightened to even be in their home. But they also have activity that's pointing to a malevolent presence, perhaps even demonic (a term the team uses sparingly in their work). With the help of occult specialist Alexis, the team now invite Luna and her teenage son to  come to Stephen's residence, to gather testimony from Finn and see if they can uncover anything else that could better prepare them for what they were about to jump into.Sponsored by BetterHelp.
