In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

Can we stop playing these long-awaited, highly anticipated games already? Someone is bound to get hurt! The Lads sat down with special (and repeat) guest Haley Silver to talk about our favorite web-slinger for Season 4: Chapter 3 with Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 . We show Haley the ways of the baby and lament on our woes with the sequel and perhaps set our expectations a bit too high. Like the show?

Happy New Year! The Lads sat down after a long and arduous journey through the cosmos to talk about Season 4, Chapter 2: Starfield . Did we love it? No, we didn't. Did we like it? No, not at all. Listen to hear our thoughts on one of gaming's biggest disappointments, a game that has fell completely out of the conversation mere months after release and not a single "arrow to the knee".

Just in time for Halloween... or Thanksgiving... or I guess Christmas -- comes our thoughts on Season 4, Chapter 1: Season: A Letter to the Future . There were a lot of similarities to our Season 3 closer Stray God: The Roleplaying Musical and we talk about what works and doesn't in these indie, gameplay swings. Like the show?

It's that time again -- the end of the season. We go toe-to-toe, fist-to-cuff, mouse-to-controller and rank all ten games of Season 3.

This was a fun one! The Lads sat down to talk about one of the more unique games we've ever played: Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical . We were in near unanimous agreement on this one so spent a lot of time talking about a certain tragedy for some reason (Lad Jimmy's fault) and learning about musical theater from Lad Jack.

It's time for the big one. The one you've all been waiting for. The one that held up each Lad's schedule over summer. The Lads finally sat down to chat about the behemoth that is The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. We have two die-hard Zelda fans and a solo, certified hater in Lads Who Game, so we dive into each of our dozens-of-hours-long play-throughs in the greatest detail imaginable.

Well, well well. Look who decided to show up on your podcast feed again. The Lads Who Game are back from their extended, unannounced and nearly unaddressed summer hiatus with the long-awaited and almost forgotten recording of our Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review, a game that we feel like we played a long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away).

Two episodes in one week ? That can only mean it's finally time for the long anticipated Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and you know what that means... the Lads are going retrospective mode. Joined by special guest Haley Silver, we talk about the universally acclaimed Breath of the Wild ahead of its sequel release. We brag about our mediocre statistics, gush over our favorite shrine puzzles, and try to imagine what an ever better game might look like in the upcoming follow-up. Like the show?

We're joined by special guest Abby Filsinger for what we thought would be one of our most contentious episodes yet but instead turned out to be incredibly insightful and... dare we say... nice?

From hot take to hot take, the Lads are back with a relatively unfavorable review of Naughty Dog's (and gaming in general) classic, The Last of Us Part 1 . We talk about the upgrades in the remake, Naughty Dog's faults in game design, and the story so good they made it into prestige television. Like the show?

Did you miss us? The Lads are back with our most scathing review yet -- a brutal tear down that this massive multi-billion dollar corporation will never be able to recover from. We dusted off the mics and caught up for a brief moment before jumping right in to our thoughts on Pokémon Scarlet and Viole t released late last year. Will there every be another Pokémon game again?

Happy New Year! We sat down to do a proper send of for 2022 as opposed to those phonies who tried doing this in November. We talk about our upcoming ski trip and our best games (both new to the world and new to us) of 2022, our old favorites for the year, and what we anticipate might be some good games for 2023. Almost all of the games we talk about have an old episode, so take a look if you're looking for more Lads content. Like the show?

Just under the wire for the end of the year, we're back with another episode and (finally) our thoughts and ratings for God of War Ragnarök . We talk about coffee, gift etiquette and, of course, the newly Norse legend himself, Kratos. We know this episode has been a long time coming but hopefully well worth the wait as it's an amazing conversation including a statement by Lad Robert that gets the biggest gasp we've ever had on the show.
