Maximum Utcast - 32 - Loving Castlevania, Loathing Minefields, and Learning About Pinblast Neon

October 6, 2026 · 1 h 48 min

Show notes

With the new Castlevania game (Belmont's Curse) right around the corner, what does Jonathan think of the demo? Can he scream about it with his working mouth or will he just politely chat? And how much overlap is there in the interests of our hosts? We go in depth on Castlevania discussions before hopping around to the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Rule of Rose, Hotel Barcelona, and more. Later, Jonathan talks with returning guest Lyn about her new game Pinblast Neon (you can watch the video of that interview here: https://youtu.be/JcOkM28ORd4 ) and throughout the show, in ways that only Jonathan can, we get comparisons to the creative process that are reminiscent of defecation. It's another classic Utcast for the ages.
