Game of the Year 2022: Volume I by The Save Room

Save Room Reviews: God of War Ragnarök by The Save Room

We may be halfway through the November, but we’re still longing for October and our favorite spooky time of the year. So much so that we sat town around the Jack o lantern and talked about (nearly) every movie we saw during the 31 days of Halloween.

That’s right, we’re doing a big Halloween grab bag of some of the best and worst horror movies we saw: from the new Hellraiser to V/H/S/94 to Terrifier 2 to the Grimcutty. It’s a round robin conversation of found footage, slasher movies, body horror, and some of the nastiest video nasties we saw. So grab the candy corn and prepare yourself for a Halloween treat.

Save Room Plays: Survival Horror Hootenanny (Make Us Whole Edition) by The Save Room

The boys are returning to Haddonfield for Halloween Ends, the final entry in David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy. Bullies, Scarecrow dance parties, and romantic melodrama are abound in this whimper of a conclusion to Michael and Laurie’s 44 year bout.

Where Halloween Ends maybe fails to stick the landing, it does excel at boldly introducing a new character and newish concepts that will undoubtedly make this one of the most talked about and divisive entries in decades. It was an interesting take that had us watching with open mouths while wondering: when will that Michael guy show up?!

While Halloween Kills beat into us that Evil should and will die tonight, Ends instead proves that Evil is a presence that is still alive and well so long as you stare into its eyes for long enough.

Episode 133: Get Ready for a Whole Lotta Witcher by The Save Room

For the first time in the history of podcasts, Save Room Reviews is doing a double feature! That's right, roommates, we saw two horror movies that we just had to talk about back-to-back for you all. That's twice the movies with twice the scares if you do the math.

In one corner is Zach Cregger's Barbarian which is a careening roller coaster ride of a movie with surprises around every corner and doors that you don't want to go through. In the other corner is Ti West's period character piece slasher combo, Pearl, which sees Mia Goth dancing, slashing, and shining in the main role. Both, while wildly different, exhibit the ways that horror stretches the parameters of the genre to extremes and prove that in 2022 horror fans are eating good with original concepts.

In true Save Room Reviews fashion, this is a full-on spoiler cast shit show, so if you haven't seen either come back when you have and get ready for creepy basements, Justin Long freak outs, and endless buckets of technicolor blood.

Save Room Reviews: The Last of Us Part I by The Save Room

After a lengthy summer vacation, Save Room Plays is back!

True to the namesake, we're running through all the games so strap in as we give impressions on Rollerdrome, Cult of the Lamb, ULTRAKILL, Xenonblade Chronicles 3, and more!

We also bring our worst best Italian accents to talk through the Gamescom gabagool, and its many world premieres.

If it bleeds, you can podcast about it. Nick (of twitch.tv/makemonsters fame) joins Kevin to discuss the latest Predator movie -- a prequel set in the early 1700s. For all of the up's and down's this franchise has suffered, Prey marks one of its highest points thanks to the amazing Amber Midthunder and Trachtenberg's focused direction. Will it piss off chuds? Who cares? The movie rules.
