No Cartridge 296 -- Indie Game Review HEATWAVE Aug 08, 2025

Show notes

Liv and Trevor dig into the delisted but wonderfully dark and intriguing HEATWAVE by DeadDeadDeath -- check out the rest of their work, free to download at https://deaddeaddeath.neocities.org/index.html. This is a fantastic glimpse into a wonderful visual novel that is dark, sexual, political, and intensely different. Trigger warnings abound, so if you're at all triggered by sexual violence or abuse, it may be one to skip. But otherwise, a truly compelling dive! Enjoy!

No Cartridge 294 - At the Drive-in! Wing Commander! Jul 17, 2025

Show notes

Liv and Trevor wade into the extremely disappointing but also kind of promising but mostly disappointing WING COMMANDER. Thrill at Matthew Lillard and Ginny Holder (of Death in Paradise fame) being asked to save an entire movie's plot! It's all here!
