Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Part 3: "Unwritten"

Our odyssey through Raccoon City ends with this third episode on Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999). In our shortest installment yet—clocking in under 66 minutes—we guide Jill and Carlos through the final areas of the game and say (to Nemesis and each other), “You want S.T.A.R.S? I’ll give you S.T.A.R.S.”If you thought this was a straightforward episode, though, think again! We also consider time-appropriate-for-1999 Christopher Nolan flicks (there was one; it was Following) and Natalia Imbruglia v. Natasha Bedingfield.More pertinent to Resident Evil, we ask if Nikolai is Temu Wesker, ponder whether or not the final Raccoon City death count includes zombies, and zero in on Chris’s signature phrase (really).**Time Stamps:0:00-4:59 – Intro; electronics, chronic, and Jill hittin’ the homemade bong5:00-14:26 – The park and Grave Digger redux14:27-29:45 – The Dead Factory, last confrontation with Nikolai (who gets off easy), and final Nemesis boss fight29:46-50:15 – The endings of Resident Evil 3: Endgame cutscene and all eight (!) epilogues50:16-End – Overall thoughts, superlatives, and where we’re going next**Shoutout to Alex Aniel, whose book Itchy, Tasty: An Unofficial History of Resident Evil, we consulted during this podcast.
