853. 1Upsmanship: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Last year’s installment of Indy lore comes in the form of an action-adventure game. Michael and Adam discuss the puzzles, game development, and mechanics of this well-reviewed title. Does it belong in the celestial museum or do we burn it in an ark-born holy fire like we do with all the other games that don’t make the cut?

848. Escape from the Multicurse: The Cloverfield Paradox

Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us.
