This episode aired on 19th October 2024 Agenda:

In this episode Bryan takes a backseat for the vast majority of the cast whilst Pulp and Katlink spend the next 2 hours talking about everything they loved, disliked, were surprised by and everything else in between in the Silent Hill 2 Remake by Bloober Team.

It should go without saying, but a SPOILERCAST involves talking about spoilers! So if that is a problem I strongly suggest giving this episode a miss until you've finished the game!

A huge thank you to @Katlink for coming on the show. We look forward to having her on again another time. If you haven't already go an follow her socials here:https://x.com/KatLink
