Ep. 75 - Emesis Blue
Where did this respawn from? It came out of the blue! This 2023 independent fan film Emises Blue takes the very popular game Team Fortress 2 and asks the age old question - what if this fun cartoony shooter was a gnarly, stylish, atmospheric, paranoid, noir nightmare? Thanks to the blood, sweat, and tears of Chad Payne we now have that answer! Can it justify it's 100 minute runtime? Can it put to shame films with 10x it's budget? Should you seek it out on YouTube? Find out the answer to this and so much more as we delve into the paranoid world of Emises Blue!
