Welcome to the first special episode of Pop Culture Rush: an in-depth look at the Legacy of Kain games. These games were revolutionary at the time for their intricate plotting, brilliant writing, and excellent storytelling as well as excellent voice-acting. While the first few games were commercially successful, unfortunately eventually the series was left behind as the videogame industry continued to evolve. Legacy of Kain remains a very important gaming milestone on both a personal and industry level and has affected thousands of fans worldwide, who still revere this story and the journey these games took us on. In this episode, we dive deep into the mythos of the series and hear from some fans from the still-active Legacy of Kain online community. https://anchor.fm/popculturerush/episodes/Episode-5---Legacy-of-Kain-Series-A-Retrospective-en1sqh

MOVIES

At 01:00 Chris discusses why anyone (not just anime buffs or series fans) should watch Dragonball Super: Broly, the latest movie from the popular Japanese franchise.

From 06:10, Neville then waxes lyrical about 2016's sci-fi movie "Arrival" and what makes it such an important science-fiction movie.

VIDEOGAMES

Starting at 11:00 we discuss the love-hate relationship Christian has developed with the roguelike "Lovecraft's Untold Tales" (which is really hard to beat but satisfying to play).

Then, at 16:09, Neville once again sings the praises of a blockbuster piece of media, this time being Rockstar Games' 2018 Western magnum opus, Red Dead Redemption 2, somehow managing to get through the episode without trying a cowboy accent.

Finally, at 21:20 we wrap up with a discussion of what we're looking forward to watching and reading next! (Neville: The Umbrella Academy & The Boys Season 2, Dark Season 3 - Chris: The Monsters know what they're doing: combat tactics for dungeon masters).

We hope you enjoy this episode :)

Welcome to our second episode of Pop Culture Rush!

In these uncertain times, we all need something to distract us from reality.
What better way to do so than by hiking through beautiful landscapes in Death Stranding or fighting unholy hordes in Blasphemous?

We also take a look at the chilling world of the Fargo TV series on FX and the slightly more hopeful Tales from the Loop on Amazon Prime Video.

As always, we conclude with a segment on what we're looking forward to playing, reading or watching!

PS: stick around until the end of the episode to hear a Covid-19 safety message from a "special guest"!

We met more than 10 years ago on a Legacy of Kain fan forum and we have been recommending books, comics, tv series, movies, and videogames to each other since then. We finally decided to start this podcast after lots of discussions! We hope to have a lot of cool guests joining us with their suggestions. We can't not mention our cute mascot, Puxina. PM any feedback that you might have as we also want to keep improving!
