Ams

Helena McCoy

Saaaaame. I wake up, remember it's Tuesday and am like "yay, new episode!"

Cat Sooock

FAITH: THE UNHOLY TRILOGY MENTIONED!!!!!

Willow Edwards

welcome to my twisted mind was not something i expected to hear jonathan sims ever say but i welcome it with open arms

BloodyBaroness

Okay so after this episode, should we be concerned about the Bad Movie Society event? xD

FyreFlye23

I fear our Colin is going to end up on a long kayaking trip with an old friend and that breaks my heart. Also week 5 of me maintaining Alice is a terrible co-worker and a bully.

Honey Coffee

I'm so worried about Colin :(((

Parker

Not him ripping on one of my favorite movies

Sarah E. Crill

Chills! Just got literal chills. Great episode

Ian

I am soooo invested LOL

Megan Lloyd

Personal Screening is the creepiest statement so far. Must be heard to be believed.

Kstein19

alice just be nice!

eva

[unintelligible]...chills

KilaNova

is the [Unintelligible] to circumvent swears? if so that’s hilarious that FR3-D1 has a swear filter

Cas D

Great job on the episode Jamie & Alex! Good use of unseen as horrifying. Also usually don't listen all the way through credits on podcasts, but the OST is so darn good.

Xan

CHILLS!!!

Anthony&

Colin and Sam both speedrunning their s2 archivist arcs huh👁️

candy

i think the thing that's really getting to me with these cases is that the people involved are often unaware of their fate. i was really rooting for the blogger, hoping even one of the unusual aspects of the event would spook him, but ofc i knew deep down it was inevitable that he'd experience something awful. it makes sam's curiosity more relatable bc if i were in his position, i'd also wish i could do something about it! another excellent episode

Gabe Neil

Superb episode. Really creepy. Also well done making the blogger an unsympathetic protagonist with their chat about The Babadook ;)

Trisidael

The old guy working at the theater is giving me Simon Fairchild vibes, but for Beholding instead of Vast. I’m kinda here for it. lol I’m guessing the previous IT manager is who Lena was threatening at the end of last episode? My guess is he’s the one who programmed FR3-D1, since it’s based in a German source code…. Why did he need to disappear, I wonder. And why did he come back? 🤔

sAZAndorable

Gosh I love Sam. I expected from the teaser that he'd be a doormat character (which would have been fine to me, I love unhealthily-doormat characters!), but he is NOT, he is DOING HIS BEST, and he is getting PISSED. Love the office banter and happenings, and omg, so many different plotlines progressing 👀👀

Maren W.

The Desires Theory is gaining further traction, I see 👀

FyreFlye23

The Babadook listening to this: 🥲

Zos

Thanks for the movie recommendations

Zos

What is Faith: The Unholy Trilogy? The only thing that comes to my mind is Faith: The Unholy Trinity and I can't find any info on the first one

Cat Sooock

I think its supposed to be unholy trinity but they might've changed it either to show that this an alternate universe or copyright reasons

Eva Rose

Is the blog writer a Jonny Sims self-insert? /jk

tzigi

The cadence in the phrases about ko-fis is certainly the one Jonny uses in his Friday streams :D

James Rule

That's too bad... I wanted to know what he thought of Sweet Home...

MarlaBothBothIsGood

That guy's horror Taste was...questionable, not like the statement itself was was, AGAIN, OUTSTANDING (congrats Jamie!!!!) and hearing Jonny's going full Beholding again...what a time Alice's "relationship" with the computers is one of my favourite things in the world LOT OF TATTOS, FOR SOME REASON SPECIFICALLY PERHAPS?!!!!! ME THINKS

Zoëjo

For some reason whenever the case mentioned "Voyeur" or "the scariest movie ever made", I can't help but think of the Goncharov trend 😂 In all seriousness though, this was so good!! Definitely unsettling, but in the best way!

Quin Aylward

That was awesome! SUPER creepy, loved it!

Misterkryptonite l

i dont believe ive heard that one, can you please elaborate?

Maren W.

It is basically the theory that the Fears we are dealing with here are not the same as in TMA but rather Desires. In all of the statements so far the desire of the person has been the driving force: the desire to see a lost partner, the desire to change your looks, the desire to see this specific horror film. The people always talk about how much they want something. Of course we still have the whole fear aspect but there is another driving force behind it, the people are less passive. Not sure if the Fears got changed or were never the same to begin with in this universe, but I am looking forward to how this theme will develop in further episodes.

dipper

OMG YES

The Illustrious E

Adored this one. Something about the deleted posts really ramped it up. The office plot sure is thickening 👀

Sunny Hawke

i think there’s a code hidden with the [unintelligible], if you can figure out the presumed words used. part of it could possibly be “i recognise | this footage” from what i’ve tried so far.

Sunny Hawke

edit: i think i’ve cracked it. i think it’s “Really Try To Remember This/This Footage [name]”

Caleb Prince

Maaaaaaan it's easy to see how those listening to TMA used to feel at the end of a week. Just want more and more and more. Keep up the amazing work, and don't mind me in the corner ;)

Ethan

It know you!!!!!

Knielsen

A bizarre alternate reality where The Babadook is a disappointing horror film

Carleigh Warsing

Uhhhhhh okay WOW- I listen to these right before I go to bed (for optimal spook), and I actually considered turning this off and finishing it tomorrow morning. I've NEVER considered that before, including for TMA. Optimal spook achieved- that feeling isn't going to let me go to sleep any time soon, perfect! Great job guys! Also- I didn't get to participate in the kickstarter ARG, so if anyone has details about Klaus I'd be grateful to hear it!

Carleigh Warsing

I still think it's going to be an important (overlooked) detail that Sam checked the "response" box on his paperwork in the first episode...

Carleigh Warsing

Additionally- With the exception of the woman and her husband Arthur in episode one, none of these people have been upset in the end. Even if they were unsure during the experience (the garden), they always seem some form of pleased (the painter), satisfied (the violinist), or complacent in the end (Red Canary, the voyeur). They each have gotten what they wanted, and enjoyed it, no matter how twisted or inflicted the feeling might be.

Hannah Burt

Picked possibly the best and worst episode to start listening in the dark right before bed. Wish me luck sleeping tonight, everyone!

Kate McKiernan

And perhaps it is Desires native to this world and Fears that have come in … I dunno, maybe about a year ago? ;)

Kate McKiernan

I’m excited it’s paying dividends this early!

Keegan A

My favorite Protocol statement yet! These have been nothing but bangers

Sleep SinDrome

The minute I heard it, I gasped loudly in my class. Love that game sm..

FyreFlye23

Also, Alice is hard up for cash. I wonder what motivator that is, and for what.

Eternal Miasma

For someone who claims to be super into horror this person clearly doesn’t recognize horror movie tropes when they slap them in their face

Eternal Miasma

I mean she’s trans, HRT ain’t cheap especially in Britain where it’s apparently getting harder and harder to get

Ashley Millionie

She's not the one who's hard up for cash, its her brother who's trying to get money from her

Ransack0894

What do you mean? It sounded like she's loaning her brother money, may not get paid back soon, and isn't bothered by it. She probably doesn't have much saved up if she needs to wait for payday for that, but I wouldn't call that hard up.

Ransack0894

Adored the goofy Beholding(?) avatar in this statement making a whole event out of eating this guy, even sulking when it seemed like he wasn't going to go for their delicious popcorn. Them running around staffing the entire theater by themself for a single guest had real Dracula energy.

Ransack0894

I got such a sinking feeling when Chester rattled off all those deleted posts!

Indorak

Huge fan of these "website" episodes, both this and the one on 1st ep somehow managed to chill me more than usual!

Ocean

this might be my favorite statement so far. I yelled at my computer so many times when listening

Ocean

Aarron Kemp

Sadly, this one had almost zero pull for me. The bright spot for me is I'm really enjoying Sam's autonomy and character development. The reveal of the movie felt trope-y and went off without any subversion of expectation. I was left yearning for another 5 ish minutes to add complexity to the movie viewing or exploring more of any of the workplace relationships. I'm also really hoping Alice's character develops beyond the workplace bully. Her verbal barbs, which are amusing in small doses, are now just leaving me angry and disdainful. Any delicious spooky vibes are being shattered by her shallow snide sarcasm. To be clear, this is not a comment on the voice acting, which is very good. I appreciate a slow burn (I still tout Magnus Archives as some of the best fiction writing I've consumed in the last 20 years) but Alice's character development can't happen soon enough for me.

Kate McKiernan

Oh! Oh. Oh no. Poor John. I didn’t see it at first, though I should have. I think this has bumped up to the saddest one yet. I mean, not for Tom. “She simply looks at him sadly, a pity in her face that burns him worse than any flame.” — Mag 120 [Georgie’s dream]

ChyouX

I'm so worried for Alice

RedCanary

Oh Tom you fucking idiot

Pia K R

hahah Dracula energy! I find Eldritch Cinema Grandpa oddly endearing 🥺 I imagine he looks like the really old bell boy/waiter from Twin Peaks!

Pia K R

god forbid a female character is written to be unpleasant... I mean you have every right to your opinion, but female characters in fiction don't always have to be written to be likeable and pleasant. I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves Alice BECAUSE she's awful!

cypie

I like to pretend that the old usher/concession vendor/ticket taker/projectionist is named Lloyd and he used to be the bartender at the Overlook Hotel

Rurrie

"I still enjoy horror but none of it scares me and I wish it would" is SO relatable ;_; I even heard Terrifier was one of the most horrific films ever made and. Meh. He saws a person in half. It's just SFX. Really good SFX, but still. The only thing that's scared me in YEARS was Haunting of Hill House.
