Resident Evil (2002), Part 2: “The Ultimate Escape Room is Life”

Episode two on Resident Evil (2002) is here.We complete the second half of REmake by traversing the residence, revisiting the Spencer mansion, and making our way through much-improved tunnels and laboratory. In our conclusion, we send the game off by chatting about its commercial reception, legacy, and whether or not the original should (will?) be remade for current consoles.As you listen, don’t miss Keith asking if Henry Winkler is relevant enough to have a pre-prepared obituary in the New York Times—or Logan’s introduction of a new potential Halloween costume idea in Jesse “The Gymnast” Ventura.More relevant to RE, the co-hosts spend nearly five whole minutes talking about whether or not the head of the blown-up Tyrant from the original Resident Evil: Director’s Cut was bouncing around and still talking after you rocket launcher him to smithereens in the finale (this is not in the REmake). The co-hosts additionally pose the question, “Do sharks conduct electricity better than humans?“**Time Stamps:0:00-4:05 – Cold open + intro4:06-28:02 – The Residence: Lisa Trevor’s shack, the Guardhouse, and the Aqua Ring.28:03-40:12 – Return to the Spencer Mansion, “Should The Predator fight his dad?”40:13-1:24:38 – Endgame: Tunnels, laboratory, and retcons / revisions in the ending (ft.
