Move over Marvel, the Beat of the Month crew are taking over the superhero space for a week and talking about all things related to caped crusaders! Then again we talk a lot about Marvel during the episode, so maybe they aren't really moved over all that much. However, that's not all we have to talk about! In addition to discussion about the new Spider-Man 2 we also talk about some older classics such as TMNT and Boogerman (ok, maybe that last one isn't such a classic). The episode kicks

Happy Halloween! We round out our October with a look at classic horror movie monsters in games! Or was it iconic scary movie villains in games? Wait, are we limiting our conversation to just games? Well, I’m sure we’ll figure it out along the way. Our discussion mainly focuses on older games such as (of course) Castlevania and Monster in My Pocket, but we also delve into some newer titles as well.

2023/09/05

The main mission of a game is definitely important, but it's those great side quests that can spice things up and take a game to another level. One could argue that a great side chick can have the same effect. This episode the Beat of the Month crew are tackling both topics! Only the most depraved members of the Beat of the Month crew could speak to this, so Brian had to leave the hosting duties to Muff.
