Hello you wonderful Patrons,
On September 12th we'll celebrate our sixth birthday, something that I am incredibly thankful for and proud of - especially given how tough the past few years have been on our ability to produce compelling documentaries.
In our sixth year we produced projects on Prey, Death's Door, Deathloop, Chivalry ...

Hello Patrons!
On the latest patron-only pod we take a stroll around the crime ridden streets of Kamurocho as we watch the 2007 action-thriller LIKE A DRAGON.
What lengths will Kiryu go to to save the day? Will the sub plot with the band robbers go anywhere? Will Majima ever stop chewing the scenery.
This was a blast to record, we hope you enjoy it too.

Hello Patrons,
This one is coming hot out of the oven as I wanted to quickly catch up on all the craziness going on over here. In this video I talk about our plans for a new studio, a return to big studio docs, growing Noclip Crew, the busy summer that was, and much more.
I also wanted to take this moment to touch base with with you all on how we've been doing this past year. As we move back into a proper filming space and plan the next six months of docs I wanted...

Hello Patrons!
With all this chat around Silent Hill recentl we thought it a good time to revisit the 2006 film starring Sean Bean, Radha Mitchell & Laurie Holden.
Will the movie have poor draw distance? Will a spooky siren go off? Are there pyramid heads? All these questions and more are answered in this patron exclusive podcast.
Also sorry to our Sheffield listeners - I said Sean Bean was from Newcastle, ugh.

Hello Production Team Patrons (and up),
We are just about ready to give you access to an early build of our Game Project. The idea of these playtests is to give us some initial feedback on the game and to try and get some ideas brewing around game modes, map styles and probably the title of the game too.
Alex has spent a few months working on it and this playtest is gonna...

Hello Patrons!
Four separate production misfires mean that our Street Fighter review has been lost to time, so we recorded an emergency make-good podcast that dives into everything we saw and played over the course of not-E3 2022.
Honestly it's probably a good thing the other one didn't make it out of the oven because we talked about a lot of exciting stuff we'd have forgotten about otherwise.
Enjoy the show!
