I feel sorry for Martin having to go along with this one. Jon chose revenge over Martin, and honestly it was rather petty.... even tho Martin *was* the one pushing him to kill all the avatars lol.

2024-09-11 20:01:53 +0000 UTCRelistening. My mum's house burned down when she was 12, and I've had a pan fire situation more than once. Things (like the fridge) catching fire has been something my stupid anxiety latches onto. This episode, especially with the Grenfell notes (I had nightmares for a while after that), definitely pushed some buttons. It's not the fire itself (I've spent a lot of time with large bonfires, and even being firemaster). I'm pretty sure it's the trappedness and destruction of the familiar and comforting (i.e. classic desolation) that gets me. I've been wondering which domain I would be in in this world and it's a toss-up between this one and the Buried.

2020-07-27 10:55:27 +0000 UTCYou asked, I think? Here's the conjugation. Smite - smote - smitten. Here, it would be smitten.

2020-07-27 10:47:47 +0000 UTCThis is moderately off topic but this is the first time anyone has ever said my last name right first go

2020-06-03 15:46:27 +0000 UTCI love how the fans for MAG are--collectively--like, "Hey, wait, [that's] different!" Hats off for making many, *many* people paranoid because of the quality of an effect. <3
Froggy
2020-05-31 15:24:56 +0000 UTCchilling episode, fantastic sound effects.

2020-05-31 08:16:37 +0000 UTCamazing episode
Emma.he.they
2020-05-29 04:19:52 +0000 UTCMan, the soundscaping in this one is off the charts!!! Mega kudos! Also, capitalism can indeed bite me.
Livy King
2020-05-28 22:18:28 +0000 UTCAlex's voice acting was especially wrenching and good this episode, mad props mate

2020-05-28 18:53:44 +0000 UTCwow, this was brilliant ππ I'd say more but I'd just end up rambling about every little detail.
Deleady .
2020-05-28 17:09:12 +0000 UTCAnother brilliant episode. This one was extra creepy being in rentals rather than home owners, but so good. Glad this is now instead of 10 years ago when I had the super shitty landlord. Plus, we learned a few things- the Archivist can be pulled out of his statements., Martin is terrified of fire.
Heather MacKenzie
2020-05-28 14:12:14 +0000 UTCJohnny sims really said fuck landlords huh. Love the episode, gotta love anything that involves my gal Jude Perry
Bee
2020-05-28 11:13:42 +0000 UTCI'm SUPER here for this horror podcast set after an apocalyse having this uncompromising anti-landlord content in,. I'd forgotten Arthur Nolan was a landlord so at a meta level I spent a while being like "hmm it's interesting for this to be the Grenfell Memorial #ALAB Afterlife, isn't Desolation kind of ... impulsive spiteful sadism more than uncaring extractive capitalism?". I feel like landlordly criminally negligent penny-pinching is very often more indifference than sadism, in the sense that profit-through-exploitation is the point and suffering is incidental? The whole "the eternal torment hellscape is gonna keep all the horrible things capitalism invented" angle on this series is great tho.
Nikki Bee
2020-05-28 09:23:55 +0000 UTCHad a hard time getting through this one because it hit home. Fantastic work. If I walk away with singed feelings, it was well done. <3
Kat
2020-05-28 07:01:31 +0000 UTCreally? not only did i not notice during my first listen, but i had to replay the timestamps a few times and then then i can only hear anything at all at 9:39
Lina Day
2020-05-28 04:17:50 +0000 UTCthis was a really great episode! but to follow up on the above comment about sound effects, the jangly piano chord-esque noise (at 9:17, 9:39,11:04 for example) was super distracting to me while i was listening and i can't for the life of me figure out what it was supposed to represent in the context of a burning apartment building. i don't think i'll be able to listen to the statement part of the episode again, but not because it was extremely menacing (it was) but because i kept listening for that sound effect instead of jonny's voice.
Catherine Cerny
2020-05-28 01:51:09 +0000 UTCπ³ m-mr alex j newall sir.... there is a sound effect in your episode that is Bad (the discordant piano stings during the statement) sir can you take it out please thank you sir my $5/month is yours sir... π³
Justin Armijo
2020-05-28 01:41:11 +0000 UTCBoy was I ever scared when I kept hearing Martin coughing violently and remembering the character death warning on this episode, made me so edgy. This episode was intensely real and frightening in particular and made me feel on the edge of crying the whole time. I very much appreciate this interweaving of very real world issues into each episode, this one struck home deep for me.
Zorya Dolgushkin
2020-05-28 00:19:21 +0000 UTCreally loved this ep, so brutal on so many levels and really incredible acting. and im always here for jon getting called out by other avatars. I feel this episode has laid the groundwork for a lot of upcoming... conversations and events. I'm really excited to see what happens!!
Juliana Scherzer
2020-05-27 23:59:50 +0000 UTCIn the latest Q&A, Johnny mentioned that heβs noticed his anger at current events informing the stories this season, and Jesus was he right! The Worms started it, but THIS was a burning indictment of the world today!
Brian Taulbee
2020-05-27 23:39:42 +0000 UTCJesus. That was amazing, but it may be the only episode I'll never listen to again.
E C Marlowe
2020-05-27 23:16:21 +0000 UTCMarvellous work as always RQ , however you really knew we needed the fluff episode after this huh π owchyouch
Cece Henry
2020-05-27 23:08:33 +0000 UTCAmazing job with this one, guys. Another banger!
Candelantern
2020-05-27 22:25:20 +0000 UTCOuch. That was a toughy, but in a good way!
fromgloriousjupiter
2020-05-27 21:56:44 +0000 UTCFirst ep I found genuinely hard to get through, hit close to home and reminded me of Grenfell. Landlords who value money over human lives really do belong in the realm of fear gods huh
Sophie Bury
2020-05-27 21:44:32 +0000 UTCnot to be a web martin conspiracy theorist but we do know that the web is weak to the desolation.....
Katie Blackley
2020-05-27 21:29:25 +0000 UTCI absolutely love this episode it made me feel terrible in a good way. Thank you
Aym B
2020-05-27 21:28:02 +0000 UTCThis was so good. But terrifying! Yet so good. Also terrifying
Julova
2020-05-27 21:23:55 +0000 UTCDo you smell smoke? is the most cursed statement
EmZeez
2020-05-27 21:20:49 +0000 UTCMartins coughs in the background while Jude is just monolgueing on and he's charging his smite is so unsettling and everything buuuuuurns The depth of sound kills. This episode is just - so awful and great.
EmZeez
2020-05-27 21:17:52 +0000 UTCokay so we now know that Martin Blackwood is able to STOP the archivist when he's mid monologue....... that. sure has Implications
Jojoiter
2020-05-27 21:08:54 +0000 UTCshhh lower your voice
danny
2020-05-27 21:08:04 +0000 UTCthe 'uncaring landlords as genuinely horrifying malevolent forces' plots are so real and well handled
Hari draws
2020-05-27 20:54:07 +0000 UTCI think Jonny just showed us a little glimpse at Martin's fate
Maddie
2020-05-27 20:50:18 +0000 UTCI actually physically shuddered at the sounds of jude being... smote? ooof. this ep was harrowing all around. very nicely done! (also someone PLEASE hug martin. that boy is Going Through It)

Deneb
2020-05-27 20:29:31 +0000 UTCThe SOUND DESIGN!!! The ACTING!!!! Everything this episode was Chefβs Kiss ππ
Isabelle
2020-05-27 20:26:05 +0000 UTCI hated this, by which I mean it made me physically uncomfortable and panic-y. In other words, it was very very very good. It feels very reminiscent of Grenfell (as I'm sure was intended), and that makes it feel even more harrowing. The skill of the writers to reflect real life tragedies in a way that never feels cheap or exploitative is a real talent. Thank you for this episode <3
gojo fujoshi
2020-05-27 20:24:05 +0000 UTCThis feels like a step on the path toward a Jon going too far and getting Martin hurt. Already scared about that coming!
Rebecca Dupont
2020-05-27 20:09:37 +0000 UTCSlap count: 2, good job Martin!

mistmistly
2020-05-27 19:56:27 +0000 UTCOkay but that statement was a legit fear of mine after I first learned about fire safety as a kid. I still hate sleeping with my door completely closed because of it.
romi Χ¨ΧΦΉΧΦ΄Χ
2020-05-27 19:53:06 +0000 UTCBrilliant episode. The sound scaping was absolutely amazing and god do I love Jude.
Spicy Hot Take
2020-05-27 19:52:57 +0000 UTCTo be honest, I liked how anti-climatic the end was. Full Kill Bill doesnβt sound like itβs as satisfying as Mahtin thought. Interesting.
Gilligan Mungus
2020-05-27 19:52:51 +0000 UTCThat was amazing. Best episode so far and right now my fave of s5. Wow...just wow!!! Worth the wait!!

2020-05-27 19:49:42 +0000 UTCAnother episode of Give Martin A Hug! I loved the sound effect used near the end, reminds me of 80s anime.

ray brantley
2020-05-27 19:46:39 +0000 UTCThis was one of the very few episodes that had me shaking. I sympathize with Martin a lot on the burning.
