General Damage Episode 76 - We don't need to protect video games

generaldamagepodcast@gmail.com (General Damage) — Sat, 9 Sep 2017 11:51:00 -0700

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of General Damage. This week the guys talk about the overboard criticism of game journalist Takahashi's Cuphead gameplay. There's a small discussion about Stephen King's IT and how the movie will exclude the book's most disturbing scene, which is for the best of everyone. Nick and Will give their opinions on War for the Planet of the Apes and Shane explains why Cars and Cars 3 are the only movies in that franchise.

Finally the guys muse over the question of the day: "Who would be the most unexpected director for Star Wars Episode VIIII?"

Note: After recording this episode, I came across this article which explains that sewer sex written in "IT" was a lot longer and more graphic than I originally thought. So as you listen to today's episode and get to that topic in the recording, know that we're not trying to downplay it because it is a part of Stephen King's story that we all find unnecessary and really creepy.
