Our installment this week was the final episode of the iconic series, Escape! “The Heart of Kali” features a down-on-his-luck veteran desperate to return to India to recover a temple’s treasure. But to do so, he must sink to the depths of human brutality. How far will he go to claim his prize? What fate awaits him inside the temple? Will this break our hearts like the final episode of Suspense did? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!
I thoroughly enjoyed this, in part because I *didn’t* anticipate the final twist. (When a friendly cultist says “You’ll be the guest of honor at tonight’s feast,” I immediately leap to cannibalism.) Like the protagonist, I knew there was a catch, but also like him, its nature eluded me.
I appreciated how the script played with my loyalties. I started out rooting for the protagonist, especially as he was being dicked over by everyone he met, but by the end I was ready for Kali to take him.
I’m the moron who didn’t see the ending coming.
