217 Expedition 33 [SPOILERCAST] / Why We Need a Game About Grief More Than Ever

Colette has finished "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" (and on her second playthrough) and Matt has watched all of the game's cinematics. And one thing is certain:

We have been forever changed by this unbelievable work of art.

This week, we go full spoiler mode on the plot, lore, characters, theories, cultural impact, and existential meaning of this extraordinary game, and why a French surrealist fever dream about grief is the LEAST commercial idea imaginable, yet an undeniable smash hit for the games industry (and why the world needs it more than ever).

Obviously, this episode contains super duper SPOILERS for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. You have been warned.
