Gonarch's Lair episode 49: Hallowe’en Special part 2 ~ A Haunting in the North

The Gonarch's Lair and Off-Planet podcasts

Fingers on buzzers for the second section of this panicked prayer, as our boisterous bogeymen reside recumbently in the radiant torridity of Big Momma’s bosom while playing four ghoulishly gruelling retro games: Casper on the SNES, Porky Pig’s Haunted Holiday also on the SNES, Haunting on the Sega Mega Drive and Ghost House on the Sega Master System. Mesmerized by the ominous atmosphere of our arcane arcade, we deliberate over Seinfeld and South Park’s arrival on Netflix, A Boy and his Blob, Joker, Session, Apple Arcade, Terminator: Resistance, the PS5 reveal and the COD Modern Warfare Spec Ops controversy; we contemplate the return of movie franchise video games, debate the comparison of the MCU to theme parks and we receive a review live on air. Our apathetic phantoms exorcise this section with a topically creepy collaboration playlist, but preceding that we also discuss the TV Licence, Christina Ricci, Scrapheap Challenge, Augustus Gloop, Kia-Ora, Lisa Rogers, Great British Railway Journeys, leprechauns and 90s nostalgia; we conduct a séance using a family heirloom, discern architraves from balustrades and we unanimously agree on the worst cartoon character ever created. Bad man attacks include Simon turning off the internet, Thom being filled with spook and Ross having a sugar rush.
