Episode 762: Silent Hill Cinematic Universe (Patreon)

Hello, loyal Patreon supporters! If you listen to the monthly community podcasts I produce (and you really should, given their extreme level of quality), you heard the idea for this very episode come together on the air.

It all started when I (Diamond Feit btw) watched the new movie Return to Silent Hill and felt disappointed by the fundamental changes it makes to the story of Silent Hill 2—a game that director Christophe Gans claims to love. Jess O'Brien laughed and grimaced along with me as she hadn't seen the movie yet, and we wondered if there might be more discussion to have at a later date.

That later date is NOW as Jess and I are joined by famed cartoonist KC Green in a podcast all about the Silent Hill Cinematic Universe. We talk about the movies which inspired the games, the movies adapted from the games, and even how the Silent Hill movies impacted the games in turn.

I suppose spoiler warnings are in order if you've put off watching these movies until now although I think you can enjoy our conversation without doing any homework.
