Spencer and Dave are traveling back to cinema 1988 and reviewing up the cult classic film, Monkey Shines by George A. Romero.

The in-between story of Claire Redfield and Barry Burton getting trapped on an island and having to escape the bioweapon madness!

Real...

Spencer and Cameron are going back to 2012 and playing through Resident Evil Revelations. Initially released as a Nintendo 3DS exclusive game and now you can play it on just about any modern system since then.
