PSA: Player 1 vs The World’s recorded this part of the podcast episode before Maisy Stella and Tatum Grace Hopkins were announced as Chloe Price and Max Caulfield respectively for Amazon MGM Studios’ Life Is Strange TV show. HOWEVER, StrangeCast and The Lost Records Journal co-host Adam Evalt watched Maisy Stella in My Old Ass and explained to co-host Adnan Riaz why he felt that he saw her more as Chloe than the rumoured Max links for Prime Video’s Life Is Strange show.
