Abnormal Mapping 140: Resident Evil

We’re joined by Dia Lacina to talk about foundational survival
horror classic Resident Evil, and mostly talk about genre and the
strange legacy of having a remake that’s more popular than the
original. It was nice to be able to dig into a classic like this
and find plenty to talk about both as a game and as a cultural
object.
