Welcome to Chapter Select Season Five!
Logan Moore brings Max Roberts under Capcom’s horror umbrella and guides him through this nightmarish franchise.

It’s time for…Resident Evil!

For the season's structure, Logan and I sat down and custom-tailored the order for this series. Given the nature of RE-makes, we wove in old and new together based off platform accessibility. Here is the order we have for Season 5:
Episode 1 – Resident Evil (2002) is releasing on January 11, 2022. Episode 2 – Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (2017) is releasing on January 25, 2023. Episode 3 – Resident Evil 0 (2002) is releasing February 8, 2023. Episode 4 – Resident Evil 2 Remake (2019) is releasing February 22, 2023 with special guest Ricky Frech. Episode 5 – Resident Evil 4 (2004) is releasing on March 8, 2023 with special guest Dustin Furman. Episode 6 – Resident Evil 3 Remake (2020) is releasing on March 22, 2022. Episode 7 – Resident Evil: Code Veronica (2000) is releasing on April 5, 2023. Episode 8 – Resident Evil Village (2021) is releasing on April 19, 2023 with special guest Michael Ruiz. Episode 9 – Resident Evil 5 (2009) is releasing on May 3, 2023. Episode 10 – Resident Evil 6 (2012) is releasing on May 17, 2023. Episode 11 – Resident Evil 4 Remake (2023) is releasing on May 31, 2023 with special guest Jerrad Wyche. I am fairly new to the Resident Evil franchise. I entered the fold with RE7 because of PSVR. When Village hit shelves, I snagged it thanks to expiring credits at Best Buy. I never went beyond dabbling with the series classics, although I have longed for the iconic chainsaw controller.
In contrast, Logan is a long-time S.T.A.R.S agent, originally getting into the series all on the GameCube. He claims that Resident Evil is personally up there with Metal Gear Solid.
All of the art this season was generated by the DALL-E 2 AI art generator. We felt there was something eerily ironic about a corporate AI whipping up art about a game series where an evil corporation creates zombie bioweapons. You know I'll be digging in deep to the how to in this season's Behind the Scenes post later this year.
It's time for you to make a Jill Sandwich, put on your headphones, and pack up some green herbs for Season 5: Resident Evil! The first episode will be launching next Wednesday – January 11, 2023 – with new episodes following in a fortnightly manner. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!

It’s time to turn out the lights and lock the door. S.T.A.R.S Agents Max Roberts and Logan Moore creep through the Spencer Mansion to explore where Resident Evil began. Do ink ribbons and static cameras still hold up or has survival horror outgrown its restricted roots?

Thud, thud, thud…Rookie cop Max Roberts and college dropout Logan Moore team up with motorcycle racer Ricky Frech to skulk around a disheveled police station. Did Capcom’s plan for bigger and better sequels pay off or did this adventure in Raccoon City bite off more than it can chew?
