Episode 123 - The Magical Queer Teens Cinematic Universe with Autumn Wright!

This week, critic and essayist Autumn Wright joins Robin to talk about Lost Records: Bloom & Rage, a game about growing up as a queer woman that’s just as messy as the real thing. We discuss how the game still works even when it’s fraying at the edges and wonder whether the mid-budget talky game can survive even if Don’t Nod doesn’t. Timestamps: (00:20) Welcome Autumn!
