The Left Right Game (2020)
Captivating but muddled
The first few episodes pulled me in, however as they went along everything became very confusing. The use of sound effects might have made things more immersive, but the podcast seemed to forget the medium it was in and expected the listener to discern a lot from similar sounding noises. There are many important plot points towards the end that are extremely confusing because the sound design doesn't indicate clearly what is happening. A lot of smushing / crashing noises sound too similar to other sound effects and you can't tell if someone is getting injured. The first time someone is majorly hurt, Alice is narrating what happened so it makes sense. This falls apart when she's more involved in the action. The voice acting is pretty good, some characters better than others. Unfortunately to get the full context, you will have to read the nosleep story. This had a lot of potential, but they should have thought about how it should sound to carry the narrative in an audio only format.
A.M.I. (2019)
Decrepit Actors
Why bother setting a movie in high school when the main cast looks at least 35? This had an interesting premise, but when you hire old people to play kids, it's pretty distracting. There is a flash back of the "girl" with her mom and they look the same freaking age.
