Barbarian with the creators of Final Girl, Van Ryder Games

Welcome to 2023! We're back with our regularly scheduled weekly episodes and kicking off a fresh look back at some of the best films of last year with #2022.2! This week, we are joined once again by the creators of the mega-smash, multi-award-winning, bestselling solo board game sensation Final Girl (A.J. Porfirio & Evan Derrick) as well as our good friend Matt Murray (now adopting a new role in the FoG as our resident Gorey Gamer) for a discussion about the wildly surprising and boundary pushing hit from last year: BARBARIAN.

After detailing some of the film's more gruesome and effective surprises, we dissect its myriad of thematic considerations, including misperceptions, consequences, and the necessity of examining our own barbaric tendencies. Also featuring a Patron segment where each of us break down some of our latest board game experiences, this is a hearty and fun conversation we hope you enjoy!
