## Resource

In the running for the best film of the year is Weapons from Zach Cregger and co., providing truly unsettling horror without the typically gorey schlock. Maybe not podium material, but Marvel’s latest Fantastic Four flick First Steps is feeling like a return to form, plus lovely words about the lovely Ultimatch from Fireside Games, and OK Play from Big Potato Games forces us to consider a brand new award genre. All that, and ensuring there’s an “O” in the spelling, on Ep230. 00:00 - Recycling Barry 03:42 - Listener Question (thanks Damien!) 14:25 - The Silmarillion of Cider (Cider Country by James Crowden, fact fans) 18:09 - Weapons 38:38 - OK Play and carabiner games 42:20 - Ultimatch 46:44 - The Fantastic Four: First Steps On this episode were Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero) and Sam (@MrSamTurner).
