    Kupo Talks! Episode 14 - The Pilgrim Cast (Scott and Plymouth)

    Ray and Andy are here once more this Thanksgiving season to talk about more games (Twofold, Alan Wake, Half Life), what we watched (Korean Drama about a girlboss crash landing in North Korea), and our main topic of this month: "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off".
