It's such a joy to introduce everyone to my delightfully knowledgeable work buddy Pat King (aka PK), who's a veteran bookseller at Poisoned Pen Bookstore in Scottsdale, AZ. One of our most beloved employees with decades of experience, PK is a Book Ninja, in that you can walk in, tell him what you're interested in or the kind of stuff you like & he'll find you your new favorite read. This week, I brought him on to discuss another one of his passions beyond Science Fiction & Horror. As a video game enthusiast & collector, PK is the perfect person to inject the pod (& this heavy year) with a little bit of nostalgia. Sharing our early memories of our first video game systems & favorite games, we move on to discuss the film adaptations of LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER (2001), the first RESIDENT EVIL film (2002), SONIC THE HEDGEHOG (2020), & the recent animated SUPER MARIO BROS MOVIE (2023).
