Fantastic podcast - well written and performed. It pains me to look at the uneven doorway on this thumbnail - that's my only piece of criticism. 😋
The movie (and book by Scott Smith) David mention is The Ruins
Absolutely fantastic episode as always the story sound and acting was top notch and really got me but i wouldn't expect anything else from the wonderful team at shadows ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I feel like the honeymoon phase exists in the sense that a lot of relationships start at "this is nice. I want this. we have to be together", but initially lack the dimension of "we will need to work on this relationship and work to make it a relationship that's right for us" that inevitably has to be there it's a myth in so far as "you will grow tired of the person you love, but you can't expect to really feel that love forever, you'll have to settle for just getting along" is nonsense
This was awesome if you just need to hear David Ault rapping lol but seriously you can't go wrong with Ault and Sanderson with a sprinkle of Karim?! All the yes. Do yourself a favor and listen with headphones. The soundscape is wonderfully done. It's a great story as well, and the chat after was hilarious lol Well done guys!
Pure class love David Ault ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"with this we can see all matter" that seems like such a weird claim i mean, in the end, you have to rely on the machine to tell you that what it sees is all there is. so if the machine has a blindspot, you can't see it. unless you manage to double-check all matter identified by it maps up in real life. including the matter we can't see ourselves. and then there's still the problem of assuming that everything is made only of matter
KARIM KRONFLI! LONG MAY YOU FALL!
I'm getting the impression that he is asexual homoromantic. but I also feel like, while ace spec feels certainly correct, I enjoy your refusal to use a label. it makes sense. as his writer, you could project what he's meant to be onto him, but it feels more like you're treating him like a person; and waiting until he is ready to adopt a label for himself, if he ever will.
I was NOT expecting this horror podcast to deliver a lesbian folktale, and it is so good! This is perhaps my favourite episode so far.
This one was genuinely fantastic. The atmosphere was stunning. Doing it all in form of a museum exhibit was a really fascinating choice. And I love that the pieces are only unsettling at first, their description slowly drifting into the macabre. And the twist with the final piece. . Yet I feel it bares saying that "sich" is not pronounced "sick", "seinem" not "sinnam", and the rhythm of the read shows he does not know the words he's saying
"why do you have to look for those readings of people" for the exact same reason that you don't have to go looking, because you will always find them for yourself. I will not, so I must go digging.
This is certainly a modern adaptation of Poe's Tell-Tale Heart. And I do love it! I can't believe this masterpiece was written by a man. I'm by no means saying men don't write good stories, it's just surprising this particular adaptation was written by a man. the perspective does indeed feel very female.
oof. Splitters. yeah, the expression "multiple personalities" is horribly outdated, and so was that movie's entire portrayal of the condition.
after that introduction, I was very surprised to find the story felt very familiar. until I'd searched for it on my favourite horror feeds, and found there was indeed a rendition of it on Scare You To Sleep. if recorded one and a half years later. it just happened to be the version I heard first
Fantastic as Always ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Really looking forward to this. Glad to see the Professor back.
