E28- Monkey: The Journey to the West

Black Myth: Wukong is almost here, and we're preparing for the game by kicking off a two-month exploration of various adaptations of its source material, the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West! In this first leg of our podcasting journey westward, we discuss Monkey, the abridged version of the novel. Along the way we get nerdy with history, linguistics, and translation differences between various versions of the book, but don't worry- we still make time to monkey around with poo poo pee pee jokes and all kinds of other shenanigans. So grab that cudgel, pay your respects to heaven, and don't forget to feed your Tripitaka, because it's time to head west!

Check out the article on the translation differences we discuss here!
