Criterion
Great episode! Jason Schreier's presence was a welcome one, but hearing him try to explain Team Cherry's ignorance was frustrating. Sure, if you have $80 million in your bank account you'd stop worrying about money, but you'd probably question how you just got so much money. Team Cherry isn't in any way morally or financially responsible for anyone but themselves in the games industry, but the idea of them being completely oblivious after the success of Hollow Knight borders on unbelievable. P.S. I love musicals.
Duderado
Kelsey hit on the cheesiness of musicals which is one reason I don't enjoy them. Instead of expressing emotions in a normal way doing it through over the top cringe singing makes it feel inauthentic. I'm also weird and never liked Disney so that style never grew on me.
