SHHG! Episode 3: The Jay Gatsby Who Was On Fire
🕑 Added 2023-04-28 14:01:01 +0000 UTCThe Hunger Games Part 1 Chapters 4 and 5
We've made it to the Capitol! But first we've got to talk about something very important: The 7th Saga, a SNES RPG with barely any merch. We've also got our first Hunger Games listicle. Our chapters this week are full of dizzying ups and downs: brutally honest characterization and heartfelt drama alongside ridiculous action movie antics and some puzzling portrayals of a society so depraved it... wears a lot of makeup? Hmm. We chat through our feelings on whether or not the story is portraying cruel opinions a character has or simply espousing them itself, wonder aloud what synthetic fire is, and beg to know what the other costumes in the ceremony were.

I am SO late to this because I had other podcasts to catch up to but as someone who binged a bunch of trashy emulated RPGs in the depths of my college depression I love 7th Saga. Something about the vibes just makes the grind work for me, it feels like an adventure over decades the way something like Lord of the Rings is Does Liz know about Brain Lord and Mystic Ark, the "sequels"? I never got into them but the fact that it's sort of a trilogy linked by common lore always fascinated me. Mystic Ark also got an actual OST release which is mostly notable for every single track title being a complete, insane English sentence
When I read this book I always took the over the top capital dress was supposed to be like Hollywood like the met gala and the French aristocracy. It’s interesting the 2023 angle of homophobia. I don’t think that was intended by the author but interesting how trying to be over the top feminine like drag to make a point about gender and trying to show off your extravagant wealth overlaps
