Maximum Utcast – 28 – We Love Indie Games, Spider-Man, and Germs

How many ways can you die in a mechanic simulator? What year did the Wii and PS3 actually come out? And what’s the best way to deal with fascism? These questions and many more might be answered on this jam packed episode of the Maximum Utcast! Later, Jonathan is joined by Sean Velasco, Alec Faulkner, and Nick Wozniak of Yacht Club Games to talk about what might be in store for their company now that Mina the Hollower has released (you can watch the video for that here: https://youtu.be/IalSAVwXsn0 ). And then somehow we conclude our videogames show with ~20 mins of comic book chat, mostly centered around Spider-Man and his newest movie (extremely minimal spoilers for the Spider-Man: Brand New Day film, but maximum spoilers for like 30 or 40 years of Spider-Man comics).

Daniel is a podcast producer and musician who spends way too much time in the edit to make audio sound as good as possible. He’s cutting the “umms” and “uhhhs” and replacing them with cartoon sound effects. His taste in video games is often extremely specific, and he’s recently learned that a lot of his opinions about video games are bad and wrong, but that won’t stop him from having them. His music was featured in Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. He's been producing podcasts since 2021.
