(credible) String Cheese Theory: What Remains of Edith Finch
Introducing a new episode type of String Cheese Theory (not replacing the usual episodes), we take the source content a bit more seriously and discuss it's points more like how the artists behind it likely intended. Don't worry, it's still funny, or at least the same level of funny we usually are.
What Remains of Edith Finch, a short, narrative focused video game from 2017, is a lovely work with an impactful story we couldn't help but think about for months after playing it.

Jumanji (1995) - “Kid Robin Williams”
Most of us above a certain age have seen the 1995 film Jumanji. But how many of us have really sat down and had a hard think about it? Where did the game come from?
