We talk about both fictional and real-life boogeymen, including the incredibly terrifying Curse of the Technical Difficulties that caused us to lose 30 minutes worth of Podcast.…

Shayne and I discuss fan expectations in movies and video games. What obligations do creators have to their fans/customers, and conversely, when do fan expectations become unreasonable?
