WEEK IN GEEK: This week, it’s a dive into the Fall tv shows that both our hosts were excited to see as Andrew watches the first episode of Alton Brown’s Good Eats: Reloaded while D. Bethel reacts to the first three episodes of the second season of The Gifted.

GAMES WORKERS UNITE: In the wake of massive layoffs by developers like Telltale Games and Riot Games, The Vulture published an article under the auspice of being a “behind the scenes” look at Red Dead Redemption 2‘s development at Rockstar Games. The article sparked a lot of controversy, specifically around the (walked back) claim of the team working 100-hour weeks multiple times during 2018 to make sure this game is top of the line in terms of quality. These incidents bring again a highlight to the labor practices of game development, through which D. and Andrew try to wade.

RELEVANT EPISODES:

Episode 55 – Ga-Don’t-Ken: Where Andrew first discusses Alton Brown’s Good Eats.
Episode 128 – His Curry Name: Where Andrew reminisces about seeing the Alton Brown live show, Eat Your Science.
Episode 147 – Whatever We Bring, We Bring It: Where D. discusses the first season premiere of Fox’s The Gifted.
Shortcast 40 – Shortcast Your Mom: Where D. Bethel gives his impressions after the first season finale of The Gifted.
Shortcast 70 – Mr. Moustache: Where Andrew and D. discuss their hopes for upcoming fall tv.

GOING BACK: Having played Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, D. Bethel has since gone back and played the first game in the Uncharted series and was rather frustrated by it. This experience got our hosts thinking about entering series (of games, movies, tv shows, etc.) mid-stream––what’s the value of going back to the start?
