Backlog Dialogues is the nerd culture podcast where we dig you out of your backlog, BEFORE it buries you. We attempt to bring a literary eye to nerd culture media, like video games, films, TV shows, and more. Think of us like a book club, but for video games and other types of media. Our second backlog-buster is: When They Cry!

We're still on break, but we are here with a bonus episode as a listener request, just in time for Watanagashi!

It's the season finale for Backlog Dialogues, and what better way to send off Saikoroshi than a Minilog about a game for true witches, Undertale.

Plus, bonus heresy as suitable for a minilog paired with Saikoroshi! Oh what fun.

Higurashi When They Cry Rei - Saikoroshi Episode 3 - God and Dice Should Both Be Silent [Ch 5-6]

Season 7 · Episode 33

Wednesday, April 23, 2025 • Duration 58:55

Rika has to make a choice, and the responsibility for that choice cannot burden anyone but herself. Will she kill her mother and return to the world she fought for, or will she live in this world and attempt to improve herself here? Is she a human, or a witch? Perhaps a certain orange haired street magician has the answers...

This week on Backlog Dialogues, we accept the world we are in, and bid farewell to witches.

Wednesday, April 16, 2025 • Duration 01:43:52

In her search for the fragment that prevents Hanyuu from finding her, Rika's depersonalization continues as she lashes out at Satoko for bullying her. Is this world real, or is the world she came from a fabrication of this world's Rika's sad mind? Rika consults Doctor Yamamoto, setting off a chain of events that leads to both the possibility of this world's Rika finding happiness but also a terrible truth that provides Bernkastel a way out.

This week on Backlog Dialogues, we get a little heretical.

Wednesday, April 9, 2025 • Duration 46:27

Rika has arrived at the 1983 of her dreams, and is riding high off the success. But in her arrogance, she fails to remember the important lessons from train safety PSAs and plays in traffic, finding herself in a nightmare bizarro Hinamizawa where no one likes her and Hanyuu isn't around. Can Rika find her way out of the labyrinth and back to her world again? It's time for the coda of Higurashi, Saikoroshi, and its far more introspective mood.

This week on Backlog Dialogues, we talk about being safe around vehicles.

Season 7 · Episode 30

For our penultimate Minilog for this season, we look in to one of the most impactful stories of adolescence anime has to offer. A coming of age tale about growing to become the best person you can be, about the people that change you as you grow and that you change in turn. A tale about the changes one experiences in their body as they grow.

A tale about being the most powerful psychic in the world, and how that doesn't make you special.

This week, Backlog Dialogues is talking Mob Psycho 100.

We've made it to the end - or have we?

Season 7 · Episode 28

Wednesday, March 19, 2025 • Duration 03:24:21

It's time to get extremely indulgent in the way only Ryukishi07 (and Backlog Dialogues) can get in a finale. The longest chapter in all of When They Cry, a massive epic of big goonies energy and hype. We follow the Hinamizawa School Board Game Club as they enact Operation 48 Hours, throwing Takano Miyo and the Mountain Dogs for a loop.

This week on Backlog Dialogues, the Festival is here.

And you don't watch a festival.

You enjoy it.

Alternate Episode Title: Furude's Eleven

It's time to plan a heist! The club prepares for the fight of their lives, for the sake of Hinamizawa and everyone who lives in it! But before we can do that, a bit more movement of pieces along the game board is required. Ooishi's character arc hits its finale in one of the best scenes in all of Higurashi, and the hype builds as we go through this penultimate section of Matsuribayashi, in preparation for tomorrow's festival!

(For bonus fun, here's a link to the insane house on Zillow that we can't stop laughing about in this episode: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1201-Marble-Way-Boca-Raton-FL-33432/87660584_zpid/)
