Season 1 Ep. 3: Video Games ft. Dan Deacon & Roger Clark Apr 02, 2023

Me and my slow reflexes got back into video games after a decade-long break. Figured I would share some thoughts as well as my appreciation for Red Dead Redemption 2. I know I barely scratched the surface but talking with actor Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan) was incredible and the original music by Dan Deacon is too.
