144 - Tony Hawk's Existential Nightmare

In this week’s episode, we play Tony Hawk’s Existential Nightmare, a narrative/rhythm game based on, well, a meme. It manages to be a strangely sincere game about the cost of ambition, despite its meme origins. The game prompts a discussion about pro-skating, growing up, and the relationship of sincerity to humor. Jordan tells us where he recognizes the music in this game from. It’s a deep cut.
