Hello, lovely TripleClick listeners, Kirk Hamilton here.

And as we mentioned last week, we are taking this week off from making this show.

So instead of a new episode, we are sharing the following episode with you.

So as you know, because we say to the start of every episode, we are members of the Maximum

Fund podcast network.

And if you become a subscriber to Maximum Fund, you can get monthly bonus episodes that

we record.

And the following is one of those bonus episodes.

It's an episode we recorded last fall for the Maximum Fund bonus feed.

And it's all about Battles Royale.

So that meant really that Jason Metty and I watched Battles Royale, the movie.

And we also talked about Squid Game, which at the time had just been a global phenomenon.

We talked about the Hunger Games.

We talked about Danganron.

But we talked about anything with a kind of killing game, Battles Royale theme.

We talked about that storytelling method, how it works, the kinds of character stories

that it allows for.

It was a really fun conversation.

And it's just a taste of the kinds of bonus episodes you get if you become a member.

So we really hope that you will consider becoming a member if you aren't already one yet.

You can go to Maximumfund.org slash join to become a member.

And yeah, thanks so much to everybody who is already a member.
