This week we're talking about movies and TV shows. We were running the gamut on everything that is in video games, but it's all tangentially related so it's okay. Are you feeling better? You were sick the last time we recorded. I'm sort of gathering now that the idea of like any moment of healthiness kind of just doesn't exist for several years of a human being's life. Right.
A few weeks ago, game developer Double Fine surprise-dropped a 22-hour documentary about the seven-year creation of Psychnoauts 2. At least that's the premise on paper. In reality, the stunning TV-length doc is a fearless look inside the day-to-day life of a video game studio -- warts and all. The documentarians, employed by Double Fine, have unprecedented access to practically every person and room . Frush and Plante talk about the series, called Double Fine PsychOdyssey, along with The Last of Us TV adaptation. Plus, a delightful new retro gaming book is a perfect gift for video game newcomers.
