The inaugural #TSBGJam covers both themes we've done so far. That's five different movies and seventeen episodes of discussion to mine for inspiration! Join the jam here so you're ready when it launches (at the end of our currently-airing Happy Death Day series): itch.io/jam/this-sho...

A category called "People Having Problems In Space" with the posters for 2013's Gravity, 2015's The Martian, and 1995's Apollo 13, and a category called "It's Loopin' Time" with the posters for 2012's Looper and 2017's Happy Death Day

A full list of the guests on the episodes for those movies: Will Jobst, Dora Dee Rogers, Caleb Zane Huett, Dusty Hill, Kendrick Smith, Dillin Apelyan, Viditya Voleti, Aaron Voigt, Sebastian Yūe, Sean Ireland, and Marn S.

Great discussion of a couple perspectives on something we obviously have some investment in 🤝

Sam: Yeah, let’s talk about games. Genre emulation as a games thing. There’s so much in making story games where people are excited about genre emulation — taking a piece of media like John Wick and saying “how would this be a game?” There’s a new podcast, it’s Saada and Jess Levine. The premise is: someone brings a piece of media, and they talk about how it would be a game. I think it’s called How Would This Be a Game? We’ll put a link in the show notes. But people really want to do that thing. It’s complicated to do that thing.

So — what does genre emulation mean to you?
