The Pitch

Everything To Guppy is a bite-sized, four-times weekly comedy/gaming podcast in which Gary Butterfield (Watch Out For Fireballs) and William Hughes (The A.V. Club) attempt to analyze every single item, boss, character, and concept in the rogue-lite video game The Binding Of Isaac. They manage to pull it off only slightly less than 50 percent of the time.

On this month's Dispatch episode, we talk about Spoilers. Why don't they bother us? What benefit scan strategically spoiling things for yourself bring? What's a sensible spoiler policy for podcasts like ours?

We also answer your questions, read your responses to No One Lives Forever, Uncharted Waters 2: New Horizons, and Marathon 2: Durandal.

Welcome to the new Unfilmable! In our pivot to talking about horror media more broadly, we've decided to talk about the excellent horror anthology series "Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories". We know Tim and Eric aren't for everyone, but we think you should give this series a shot because their approach works really well for telling horror stories.

We cover the pilot, "Haunted House", and the first three main episodes of the show, "Hole", "Toes", and "Bathroom Boys".

It's rare that we find something so strange and awful that we need to share it in its entirety. This strange Snow White "game" is one of those awful things. This is a low effort minigame collection where each game clumsily uses assets from the centerpiece of the product, a seven minute animated retelling of the story of Snow White. Except is bad. Really bad. At a certain point we decide to just do a commentary of it, so click here to follow along if you want to.

Reminder that you can read along with and ahead of the show by subscribing to Marvel Unlimited (we don't get paid for you doing that, so it's not an ad, it's just a cool service). You can also use Comixology, or buy the trades from your local comic book shop (the preferred method, if we're being honest). Be sure to check with your local library to see if they have them there!

We'll be up front with you: this is not our favorite episode of the Venture Bros. Team Venture heads to Brisbyland at the request of the business magnate Roy Brisby, a stand-in for Walt Disney. Unfortunately, Brisby is a megalomaniac, and the boys get wrapped up in a paramilitary effort to thwart his landgrabbing ways.

Is there a name for the kind of stealth horror game that's popular with streamers? Things like Hello Neighbor and Bendy and the Ink Machine? Whatever that is, this is one of those, but with a fun, crappy educational vibe. Truth is, this is actually pretty good and fun, so we range far afield on this episode.

This week, we begin our coverage of Mortal Shell, a 2020 soulslike with some very unique touches. You play as a strange creature who can inhabit certain dead bodies, and these "shells" become your character class as you navigate the dead kingdom of Fallgrim, collecting glands for a large bird.

This episode covers the generalities and the tutorial, going over all of the ways this differs from your regular soulslike, and discussing how those changes add up to a pretty nifty interpretation of the formula.
