Backlog Dialogues

Backlog Dialogues is the nerd culture podcast where we dig you out of your backlog, BEFORE it buries you. We attempt to bring a literary eye to nerd culture media, like video games, films, TV shows, and more. Think of us like a book club, but for video games and other types of media. Our second backlog-buster is: When They Cry!

Let's start the shortest arc by stretching things out! Lots of stuff is different this time. We follow Public Safety Officer Akasaka Mamoru as he investigates a kidnapping undercover out in the sticks and meets a mysterious girl with a penchant for cute noises and not so cute personality shifts.

This time, we cover the 2001 Playstation 2 classic horror game, Silent Hill 2! Our inner demons haunt us as we discuss a game that we didn't even have an occasion to play until this podcast. We discuss James Sunderland as he takes multiple possible paths through spooky maybe hell dimension Silent Hill, dig in to themes of guilt and self punishment, and jump in to more than a few holes as we play the game the way it was meant to be played and not whatever the fuck is going on with the upcoming

The all cast review sessions are starting to get silly, as the discussions about what's going on gives way to silliness and the promise of a new protagonist going forward! Thank goodness, it was almost getting to be too unbearable to be Keiichi anymore. Then, John gushes over his favorite manga adaptation and unleashes an incredible amount of rage upon the hack job the anime does with this material. And as always, a special gift awaits those who have seen to the end of the story....

Reality is coming undone and weird things are happening. Did Keiichi murder someone last night, or did he spend the festival with his friends like they say he did? Has he somehow gained the ability to kill others with his brain? Can he save Satoko from her cruel fate once and for all? Or is it all for nothing? Once more, the tragedy comes to its head, and this time, the curse spreads farther than any thought possible.

The extent of Satoko's situation is laid bare: her abusive uncle has returned, and the club is powerless to do anything. But that's not going to keep Keiichi from trying, as he shouts at his friends, begins to make terrible kidnapping plans, talks to Miyo about her interests, implies that his friend is behind all the murders in the village, and shows us just how far out his galaxy brain can go.

Rena gets philosophical and Ooishi gets terrifying this week, as Keiichi learns more about his new 'sister', Satoko. Things are starting to get gloomy faster this time, as Satoko fails to come to school and the question of Satoshi is way more forward, with Shion pushing Keiichi on what he's learned about the missing boy.

It's Satoko's turn in the spotlight as we go back and start over to have a good old fashioned lunch box battle! Keiichi begins to develop brotherly feelings for the precocious brat (affectionate), and his skill for bullshit hinted at in the previous arc is now given a name in one of the most hilarious (and horrifying) scenes we've ever done on this pod! Listener discretion advised, we do not condone any of the words that weird pervert says.

O, Canada! We don't know much about you, but you do make a fun setting for a very strange tale. We're talking about the original Graphic Novel that inspired a movie, a video game, and a Netflix original series, Scott Pilgrim! We take the time to talk characters, themes, and how being in your twenties just completely sucks.

We join the cast of Higurashi in once again asking, what the hell was that? Are the Sonozakis really a ruthless crime syndicate? Why does the manga localize so many things but not Ritual Storehouse? Will the anime make any improvements over its fumbling of Onikakushi? And will you listeners who have seen to the end of this tale stick around for more? Once again the passage to darkness opens.....

Things aren't looking good. Satoko and Rika are missing, and Keiichi may have been spilling his guts to the wrong Sonozaki sister this whole time. It's a good thing Rena is an ace detective, or this case would never have been cracked. It's time once more for things to come to a tragic end...

Keiichi has a rough one, as everyone wants to know if he saw some people that he definitely does not want them to know he saw. Rena's acting smart, Mion's acting strange, and Rika is talking about cats. Oh, and people are starting to disappear, that's big too. Make sure to practice proper ladder saftey, Keiichi!

The titular festival is back, and with it our spooky lady friend, Takano Miyo! Shion drags Keiichi in to hearing all about Miyo's many hobbies, and ends up dragging him in to a shed full of crazy torture devices! Shilling vendor trash and more romcom antics round out this section of the story.

Keiichi's relationship with 'Shion' deepens, and we unfortunately have to spend even more time in Angel Mort. Rena teaches Keiichi valuable lessons on not judging people based on how they initially seem (and also just stop being such a sexist dick). And finally, we answer once and for all the burning question: Are Twins Real?

Things are suspiciously back to normal in Hinamizawa, as Keiichi, Mion, and Rena are all alive and well, and the business of the day is club activites! A board game competition, Sympathy, and Curry are all on the menu, but more importantly, why the heck is Mion a server at a skeevy family diner, and why is she insisting that twins are real?

2024/04/24

It's time to talk about one of the biggest anime hits ever, Neon Genesis Evangelion! Would you believe John hadn't watched the original series in full until recording for this podcast? We dive in to the characters, themes, and (third?) impact of the original series, and the fandom and culture that surrounds it. Does Shinji need to pilot the Eva? Does the religious symbolism mean anything? Is Gendo a wifeguy? The answers may be more surprising than you think!

What will happen next now that Keiichi, Rena, and Mion are all dead? Heck, what CAN happen next?(For those who have seen all there is to see in When They Cry, there is an additional after party after the credits. If you are unbound from time, join your fellow monsters, won't you?)

Keiichi's story comes to a bloody and abrupt end. All around him are friends he can no longer see as friends. The hidden secrets of the village are coming for him, even as he gropes blindly for the truth. In the fight to protect himself, he pushes away everyone who he cared for, and picks up a bat. The stage is set. The tragedy is real. The truth is hidden. It will all end... when the higurashi cry.

Things start to get creepy in Hinamizawa. Keiichi finds himself being interrogated by shady cops and his friends start acting... strangely. Are the legends about demoning away real? Is Keiichi next? Also, will he ever get out of one of the most severe cases of denial you'll ever see?
