About the episode

Ben, Matt, and Steve party up for a three-person podcast about a three-player game! First, they discuss what the cancellation of Electronic Arts’ Black Panther project portends for the future of superhero games and triple-A licensed games. Then they have a spoiler-free discussion of FromSoftware’s fascinating Elden Ring spinoff experiment, Nightreign, focusing on its difficulty, its genre-spanning appeal, and its technological drawbacks. After that, they react to the news that Alex Garland is writing and directing an A24-produced Elden Ring movie and try to figure out what the adaptation could look like, before honoring Mission: Impossible by identifying other major media properties that historically have been the most underserved by video games.

Host: Ben Lindbergh
Guests: Steve Ahlman and Matt James
