Maximum Utcast - 34 - Living Up to Expectations

November 3, 2026 · 1 h 35 min

Show notes

Expectations are a tricky thing. Sometimes you meet them, sometimes you exceed them, and other times, you get them set so high they're impossible to achieve. This week on the Utcast, we're talking about offensive poetry, managing expectations, and the end of videogames. We learn about an update to World of Horror, get Jonathan's thoughts on Wild Blue Skies, and discuss Titanium Court. Elsewhere, Jonathan chats with Michael Molinari (Studio Bean and Chuhai Labs) about his career in the games industry and what it means for AI's slow creep into everything (you can watch that interview here with your eyeballs: https://youtu.be/5p8Z3P8ukfY?si=_goEkSCChmF8s1e_ ). And after the show, there's some choice words about Godzilla Minus One (and the whole Godzilla franchise).
