Cutscenes & Cupcakes

The world opens itself up to those with noble hearts... We're back in Teyvat! Lindsey, Steph and Mar jump back into Genshin Impact for another look into the game. Lindsey has lag issues (not in the game, forgive her new laptop!), Steph and Marlee calls for a Fae x Genshin crossover... because pretty fairy boys (and unsolved mystery Buzzfeed articles) are where it's at. Hosted on Acast. See acast.c...

It's the first "smission" of Cutscenes and Cupcakes Season 6! In this side mission episode, Steph and Marlee explore the office, and more significantly the game boundaries of The Stanley Parable, testing a sassy narrator to their limits.

Part of our new guest interview episodes, this episode highlights Rae, a producer at Red Games and from It was a Sh*t Show podcast!

Welcome to Season 6! We are kicking things off right with the 2022 hit game, Horizon Forbidden West! Lindsey, Marlee, and Steph discuss their favorite parts of the game (so all of it), how amazing the stash is, their favorite companion character, and which culture they identify with and would live with if they were part of this world. Lindsey has a series of audio issues (we did our best...), Step...

With a record for our longest title yet, you may have guessed that this episode is a double-feature of two very spoopy video games! Enjoy segments such as: Not a Sponsors, Video Game Discussions, Announcements, Dessert Ratings.... and Cutscenes and Cupcakes: Bathroom Edition! Stephanie definitely does not fall asleep, Marlee pops into a pocket universe to play Control, and Lindsey spots a naked, j...

Aliens and ghosts! Creepers and cryptids! This episode isn't like any other we've recorded while we get real personal and talk about what we do and don't believe to when it comes to all things Halloween. And let me tell you- it's scarier than the empty, spiderwebbed gigabytes in our Gmail storage! Marlee watches just one episode of Supernatural, Lindsey watches a single space documentary, and Step...

Saving the galaxy from a fleshblob parasitic alien race... Leave i...

Cannibalism and body art? (Not the pretty kind but the murdery kind?) An all out power struggle between Steph and Linds? Carmello Bars?! A battery failure in the middle of the episode?! What is this episode even about?! This episode is, as Steph put it, very Tony Hawk light and much more about crinkles (please forgive us and our Salted Caramel Twix), cackles, and candy. But we do eventually touch...

We're back in New York baby and it feels great! Swinging through the streets and saving cats (and occasionally humans too), Linds, Mar, and Steph play and discuss Spiderman: Miles Morales. Then, as usual, we return to your regularly scheduled programming and do our Not a Sponsor (or Lil NAS) segment featuring what we've been into and made us cheery this past week. Also, thanks to Marlee for bringi...

Welcome to the little pocket, little amuse bouche, little shot of espresso! It's "lesser games" time! We got together recently and played some card games and thought we'd take this weeks mini episode to talk about our favorite card games. We chat about Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, Joking Hazard, Unstable Unicorns, Happy Little Dinosaurs, Exploding Kittens,...

From tainting pickle juice to detailed Taco Bell orders to pizza that bums you out, (they're not all food related, I promise....) we have a lot of little details that we've learned about each other over the years! This smission is all about us and everything we do (and don't) know about the others. Join us on our trip down memory lane, and give our social media some love as well- we're grateful fo...

Lindsey, Marlee, and Steph find themselves stranded on the subarctic island of Blackreef, where they are trapped in a strange time loop setting. In this episode, the delicious and gooey game Deathloop is reviewed generally spoiler-freely by Lindsey until the group notice that things start repeat repeat repeating themselves, and they continue on to their Not-a-Sponsor segment.

What in the Plort? Lindsey, Steph, and Marlee strap on our vacuum packs bounce around with a bunch of Largos, adventuring beyond Earth to play Slime Rancher (the First) in this rowdy (and heavily caffeinated) episode. If you don't know what hijinks are at play- it's either the faces we drew on our fingers or we don't know either. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lindsey, Marlee, and Steph are tas-tas-tasked with leading souls of the departed to the afterlife with a bunch of little rock babies.

It's our newest Smission! Come listen to us (Linds, Mar, Steph, and our NEW FOURTH MEMBER of the Cutscenes crew!!!) gab about Nickelodeon All Stars Brawl, and definitely only that. We definitely do not discuss: The Mormon version of Pride and Prejudice, whether or not Spongebob is funny, some VERY defensive arguments for The Circle, rich cable-having kids... and we definitely do not insult all gro...

It's been labeled as a "chuckle-fest".... and not in the way you want. Join us in our controversial (if you loved the movie, we're sorry!) but friendly roast of the movie adaptation of the video game series Uncharted. Put on your blood defying collared shirt or henley, hop on into your extremely durable very old ship-being-carried-by-helicopter duo and let us know your roasts, zingers and puns (pl...
