PODCAST SHOUTOUT: Trial by Error Variety Show Podcast (@tbevarietyshow)
SHOWNOTES: This episode is decidedly lighthearted in our first entry into the prominent family-friendly LEGO video game franchise. This remastered collection of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Years 5-7 was fun to discuss and surprisingly entertaining to analyze. Join hosts Ashley and Dakota Chancellor (as usual along with Collateral Cinema co-hosts Beau Maddox and Robert Ortegon, who occasionally add their own commentary) as we delve into the recognizably unique gameplay, quirky reenacted storytelling, and collection of playable characters in this Harry Potter-inspired series and the LEGO game franchise as a whole!

PODCAST SHOUTOUT: The Cuntry Club
SHOWNOTES: It's that time of year again, folks! Yep, Stoner Christmas is here, and Collateral Gaming is pumped to bring you hilarious content this 4/20! In our very first #420day special, Ash and Dakota suffer atrocities to bring you feedback on the infamous Zelda CD-i titles Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon! Collateral Gamers, if you ever come into contact with these disasterpieces, make sure you're completely blazed because there is just no other way to tolerate it. In this double feature, we ask ourselves the most important questions upon playing the games: Are they so bad they're good, or just plain bad? Is it worth it to play these for yourself? We answer these wonders as we discuss the meme value of the notorious animated cutscenes, questionable level design choices, frustrating gameplay challenges (not always intentionally), and the many toils we had to endure not just while playing—but while getting these things to run! Let's just say, it's an episode like no other.

SHOWNOTES (April Fools' Joke): Happy April, Collateral Gamers! On this fine first day of April, we are delving into the greatest game ever made, determined by universal consensus: E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial! Chill with your hosts, the Chancellor Bros. (joined as usual by Collateral Cinema cohosts Beau and Robert), as we reveal how every facet of the Atari 2600 video game adaptation of Spielberg's classic is truly incredible. By no means are we reviewing or analyzing any other game, no sir or ma'am or non-binary honorific you may prefer. Clearly, THIS is the title we have been alluding to prior. So, mine your resources—er, I mean, collect your Reese's Pieces, start your launch thrusters, and fly off into a procedurally generated universe boasting 18 quintillion planets—dammit, no, sorry, that's another game we are definitely NOT talking about!!!

A spontaneous extra for you cinephiles and gamers out there! Before releasing our regular episodes of Season One as per schedule, we wanted to produce a little something in collaboration with our parent, Collateral Cinema Movie Podcast! This is something trending this month that also we feel presents itself as both a movie and a game in many ways—Black Mirror: Bandersnatch! This is a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style Netflix original movie, in which the viewer (or player) guides protagonist Stefan Butler (Fionn Whitehead) through a dark and twisted plot to develop a five-star game. Without spoiling the multiple endings and meta narrative twists in full, we discuss the value of this new interactive media adventure, with Collateral Gaming and Collateral Cinema taking different sides! Give our spoiler-free review a listen and check out the movie/game for yourself if you haven't! And stay tuned for our next regular episode, Sucker Punch Productions' InFAMOUS: Second Son next week!
