Episode 61 - A Lot About Hmm

Week in Geek: Andrew buys a Playstation Vita to play the 20 year-old game, Suikoden, but only so he can play Suikoden II, eventually. Dan gets mad after watching the documentary, GTFO.

Wild Arms 3: Before getting to the topic of the influence of westerns, Dan and Andrew look at a very specific––and, perhaps, out of the blue––instance of this with the 2002 JRPG, Wild Arms 3.

The Western Evolution: Rather than simply talking about the Western as a genre of storytelling, Andrew and Dan instead discuss how the western persists past its cultural prime and, despite seeming like a withering genre overall, is more alive than ever.

Listeners on the Range: To help flesh out the conversation, Dan and Andrew turned to the listeners and asked what westerns or western-influenced media deserves a closer look, with great response!

Question of the Geek:

What is your favorite use of ninja(s) or superspies (in any medium)? Which do you feel have been particularly influential? Why?
