Phil here with a * spoiler warning. *

At 49:11 through 01:21:56, we discuss the antagonist and broad story beats of Tomb Raider 1 (1996) and discuss the themes of the Survivor Trilogy, with broad discussion of Tomb Raider (2013) and Shadow of the Tomb Raider (2018) endings. I tried to keep the discussion away from discrete big story beats, so you should be relatively spoiler-free, but hey, just know what you're getting into.

Today's episode is about Lara Croft, Tomb Raider in all of her incarnations: treasure hunter, mercenary, fledgling archaeologist, and, yes, crush for late-90s gamers. We do our best to have a deft discussion about Lara as a cultural icon, sex symbol, and dig into her origins and evolution throughout the past decades.

Discussed

Lara Croft Tomb Raider, Runescape, Metal, Runescape & Metal, Outdoor Furniture, Culture, Core Design, Lara Croft as culture, Lara Croft as sex symbol, psychology of Gamers(TM), split timelines, modeling, whoopsies, Tomb Raider: Endgame, PTSD, the entire Crystal Dynamics Survivor Timeline.
