We enter into the double digits with this weeks episode about what is technically a video game.Killer 7 was originally released on the Nintendo Gamecube back in 2005, and was many people’s first exposure to game director and noted crazy person Goichi Suda, aka Suda 51.

But it’s also about genetically modified monsters, mental illness, massive government conspiracies, comic books, corporate ethics and ghosts, and sometimes all of those things at once. That’s complicated enough without 18 tons of heavy surrealism piled on top of it.
Are we able to figure it all out? No
