The Silly Bullsh*t Factory

These Hills Should Have Stayed Silent

In this very special episode, Matt takes an episode off, and instead, we are joined by Kel, a long-time friend of our hosts and a super great guy to boot. Kel and Josh have watched the movie Return to Silent Hill, and churn their thoughts through a High-Quality Silly Bullshit pressing machine. They explore their love of the series of games, laying out their appreciation for the sense of nuance, tension, and psychological dread they cause. Then, they launch into their thoughts about the movie and it's attempt to capture on the setting and success of the 2nd game in the series, and spoiler alert - it is TERRIBLE. Listen as their disappointment causes them to try to unravel key questions: How did they fail this bad, and why did this even get made? Want to send us deranged hate mail?

Annnnnnndddd we're back folks. Sorry for the long absence, but in our defense, we've been pretty up-front about how inneffectual we are.
