Len posted:Why haven't you guys said anything about the Wolf359 crew dropping a new anthology series? It's 7 episodes and all posted.im starting it now so I have no impressions to give I’m about halfway through it, and I’m really liking it so far. Episode 2 has been my favourite, but there’s still a couple to get through. Be interesting to see if they do anything more with it.

A lot of fan art depicts Jon as darker skinned for some reason that I can't really fathom, which is hilarious because his voice actor is aggressively white. Also, according to the wiki, he's confirmed as asexual? Which is news to me.. I've noticed this for a very long time, but a lot of sentences in Magnus start with "Still, ..." It happened at least twice in the most recent episode, and if you listen back, it's in there a lot. I picked up on it a long time ago and now it jumps out at me every time I hear it because it's 100% Johnny Sims' writing style and not at all how people talk. I don't think I've ever started a sentence with "Still, ..." in my life.

The one that stands out to me is how often he is depicted with... acne scarring? Which, like, okay. Anyways I don't really know of a good celebrity face match for Jon but Tim is Hughlander's av.

For some reason, Tim has always looked like Grant O'Brien from College Humor to me. I don't know where I got that image, but that's how I see him. And I've always seen Melanie as Freema Agyeman (Martha Jones from Dr. Who).

This episode frustrates me so much. It wasn't even remotely spooky, and one of the early episodes I found absolutely brilliant was the astronaut episode, and that basically just got thrown away as "some vaguely pitiable but also not, completely asocial rich fucker dicking around with his fortunes". It's so anticlimactic in my opinion. I absolutely get what they're doing, but it's not a horror podcast anymore. Hasn't been for a while, IMO.

Magnus has the same feel to me that Dunwhich Horror had. There's some weird poo poo going on and it's up to academics out of their depth to deal with it. It wasn't ever really scary or horror.

MR James is the show architect’s fav writer and thus probably a better point of reference. It is an older style of horror, but I think even the more contemporary horror elements in the audio drama bits work

Limetown episode 3 is just filler between Winona and the Reverend. Episode 4 with the Reverend and Napoleon is pretty strong. Still worth hanging around.

Update: Having finished the series (being just 7 episodes for those curious), I reiterate my previous opinion of “really liking it” and interested to see if they follow it with anything. Episode 2 is still my favourite, though Episode 6 is a strong second.

I guess my point remains that I find horror so much better when not everything is spelled out. It's a very subtle difference but to me it's the difference between a supernatural thriller and horror. I felt like TMA started as the former and has become the latter. It does both very well. I want to make it clear that I am by no means saying Rusty Quill has pulled a PNWS and it sucks now. It doesn't. It's just not as much my scene as it used to be. And the funny thing is I honestly don't know how I'd have felt if they had kinda started more from that angle to begin with; it's more that the change kinda made me go "ah gently caress, bummer". I reversed it, I mean it started horror, has become a thriller. SamuraiFoochs fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Oct 29, 2019 |

The Limetown TV series makes some weird changes Spoilers for up to episode 6: 1. Lia is a creepy pervert 2. She has a white male sidekick now for reasons 3. This white male sidekick is a serious journalist who stands up for the story's integrity 4. Lia is not and manipulates the story to her own advantage 5. Lia is willing to blackmail her boss by exposing thier affair to keep loving with the story (see #1) 6. Emile’s season 1 role is beefed up to accommodate casting the Tuche 7. The threw in some more dead ends to pad the runtime and get Lia nekkid
