    April 18th, 2020  |  14 mins 35 secs

    With a deafening anti-bang, the metal reacted with the creature's noxious mix of internal fluids and external fluids, igniting in an ochre explosion of charred and unctuous meat.

    April 11th, 2020  |  14 mins 49 secs

    Roughly pushing his filthy fingers through the flap of skin that hung over his secret belly treasure, the hunter flicked across each coin, feeling for the telltale weight of gold, even as the creature shoved again, and the wall in front of him began to buckle.

    March 31st, 2020  |  1 hr 53 mins

    We pause Hell Comes To Harkness House for one week to explain that, yes, this is a full-length commentary track for the movie CATS, recorded by Will and Gary. You probably don't need to watch the movie to enjoy it, but it is pretty fun. Also, this is the only episode we'll be putting out this week; hopefully, the fact that it's two hours long will make up for the lack of Isaac content.
