"The Sound.... THE SOUND...!" Allen dives right into Deemo: Memorial Keys and finds it a nice movie with a less than subtle inspiration source. I'm just surprised a certain tree doesn't get the most obvious name myself, but hey.... And that's that. Next week, we'll be teetering at the edge of the law. Or something like that. See you all then. -Stig Høgset.
