Keeping an accidental trend of looking back at some of the most unconventional horror films of 2024, we offer you a conversation about Tilman Singer's CUCKOO. We're joined this week by two friends from Van Ryder Games, AJ Porfirio and Julie Ahern, to discuss this strange and occasionally befuddling examination of exploration of fractured relationships and twisted scientific exploitation. While opinions on the film were decidedly mixed, the conversation is lively and thoughtful as we unpack the myriad of themes we think this film is attempting to explore.Also featuring some fun conversation about the Van Ryder Games tabletop sensation Final Girl, this is a hearty but fun conversation that we really hope you enjoy.4:58 - Getting to know Julie Ahern18:40 - Updates on Final Girl39:10 - CUCKOOSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to our first discussion of 2024 Friends and FoGgers! And believe us when we tell you it's a doozy. Demian Rugna's film WHEN EVIL LURKS took festivals and horror fans by storm last year for its unflinchingly bleak examination of the deterioration of an entire community. It features transgressive boundary-pushing, dreadful narrative revelations, and a thoughtful -- but frightening -- approach to the subject of our very limited power.We're joined on this installment by friends of the show AJ Porfirio and Evan Derrick from Van Ryder Games (creators of the smash hit solo board game Final Girl) and by our very own Gorey Gamer Matt Murray to discuss all the grisly, leaky details on this unforgettable flick. Also featuring a Patron-only segment where we discuss episode one of director Mike Flanagan's latest mini-series: THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, accompanied by a brief discussion of Edgar Allan Poe's short story, "The Premature Burial".It's an episode packed with humor and thoughtful observations that we really hope you enjoy!Patron Only Segment: THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER, Episode 1: "A Midnight Dreary"8:25 - WHEN EVIL LURKSSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week we talk about the slasher film game Final Girl by A.J. Porfirio of Van Ryder Games.  This game is built on the foundation of Hostage Negotiator and expands on that system to make a fun but creepy game about trying to survive in a horror movie while a killer is after you.   This is a modular game series in which you need to buy at least two boxes to play, the core box with rules and a Feature Film box with a killer and location to play in.  With multiple Feature Films, you can mix and match killers for more variety in your games.   Final Girl (BGG, VRG) Kickstarter Season 2 late pledge (Gamefound)

We had the privilege to sit down with A. J. Porfirio and Evan Derrick to discuss their thrilling solo board game: FINAL GIRL. They had incredible success with the first iteration of Final Girl, a highly thematic and incredibly variable horror game where you play as a "final girl" character to defeat a killer, and now they're back with Series 2! They broke down for us the inception of the game and its basic mechanics, as well as how to join the kickstarter and make your selections for gameplay.Joined also by professional gamer and friend of the show Paula Deming, as well as FoGger Matt Murray (who owns and loves the game as well), we had a fantastic time discussing this exciting new game and we want to encourage you to check out the discussion and check out the kickstarter before it closes!Go to kickstarter.com and search for "Final Girl" to find the project and enjoy!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's Final February on Video Monsters! We're piggy-backing off of last month's SCREAM series by expanding into a series of broader discussions on Final Girl tropes in slasher films. First up is a very special presentation of CARDBOARD MONSTERS, our occasional series where we review board games from a movie-lover's perspective. This time Nathan and Eric discuss the single-player slasher strategy game FINAL GIRL, published by Van Ryder Games. Players assume the role of – you guessed it – the final girl as she fights her way through various horror-movie scenarios that ultimately culminate in a life-or-death confrontation with a homicidal maniac. The game offers a number of movie-inspired “Feature Film” add-ons with additional gameplay modifications, final girls, locations, and killers that can be mixed and matched for a practically unlimited variety of different scenarios. And since we're primarily a film podcast, we will not only talk about our enjoyment of the game itself but also how much the gameplay and thematic presentation successfully evokes the feeling of playing out the tropes of your favorite slasher flicks. So clear off the table, grab your chonky dice, and hit play quickly before you run out of time to listen to our CARDBOARD MONSTERS presentation of FINAL GIRL!

We mostly stick to board games this week, but have a brief detour to discuss how Tetris Effect Connected soothes the soul and a succinct but fulfilling quest for the Lost in Translation Soundtrack on vinyl. We then discuss all of the Kickstarters we are interested in, our featured games of the week, and then take a rapid fire approach to the games of 2022 that we most anticipate.

In the 14th Century B.C.E., the pharaoh Akhenaten attempted to shift Egypt into monotheism centered on the cult of the god Aten. Apparently there's some who argue it was possibly instead henotheism, whereby many gods are acknowledged but one is elevated above the others--a claim advanced about many ostensibly mono- or polytheistic religions, even some practised today--but at any rate is was exceptionally controversial. By the time his son Tutankhaten became pharaoh, the cult of Aten was suppressed, and the ascendancy of the god Amun was restored in a polytheistic pantheon. Hence the new pharaoh's name was changed from Tutankhaten to Tutankhamun.

Et dobbelt op på interviews fra Spiel 2019. Først en snak med Will Townshend, stifter af engelske PSC Games. Firmaets “store” spil på Essen var Blitzkrieg! af Paolo Mori (Kristian dåner næsten), hvor man kan tackle hele 2. Verdenskrig på 20 minutter. Derudover har de også på kort tid fået store designere som Richard Borg, Martin Wallace (Kristian dåner igen) og Ian Brody i stalden og står bag en lang række interessante moderne krigsspil af varierende sværhedsgrad. Herefter snakker Kristian og Bo med designer og udgiver Evan Derrick fra Van Ryder Games. Det amerikanske firma står bag blandt andet Detective: City of Angels, krigsspillet Frontier Wars og så Kristians suprise hit fra Essen, heistspillet The Big Score, hvor kriminelle bagmænd kæmpe om at kuppe og rage til sig. Papstinensers tur til Spiel 2019 skete i samarbejde med Bastard Cafe – stor tak for det! Du kan også fortsat støtte op om Papstinenser på papstinenser.10er.dk, med en 10er eller et andet beløb, for hver ny episode. Pengene går til at forbedre og tune på podcasten og udbrede budskabet om Papstinenser og brætspil som hobby.
