| P.T. with Jake Baldino | The Falcon Show Commentary | 25 oct. 2026 | 01:17:26 | |
Jake Baldino joins the Falcon Show for a Halloween trip through P.T., armed with a supposedly haunted PS4 and absolutely no protection from Lisa. Between looping hallways and jump scares, we revisit Hideo Kojima's playable teaser for Silent Hills, pick apart its lighting and sound design, and trade horror favorites from Silent Hill and Resident Evil to Amnesia: The Bunker. Add spooky movie stories, an absurd final puzzle, and a few deeply questionable escape plans, and you've got a very normal night in a haunted house. Subscribe for weekly episodes!
