The Weekly Stuff Podcast #163 – Reviewing Gears of War 4 & Shin Godzilla

It’s time for another episode of The Weekly Stuff Podcast with Jonathan Lack & Sean Chapman, a weekly audio show that explores the worlds of film, television, and video games. You can subscribe for free in iTunes by following this link.

Shin Godzilla is the first Toho-produced Godzilla film in twelve years, and it’s been one of our most anticipated films of 2016. Now it’s finally here, and we have lots of thoughts on what is undoubtedly one of the most powerful and unique films we’ve seen this or any other year. We review the film in full spoiler terms in the back half of the show, and before that, Jonathan talks more about the surprisingly delightful Paper Mario: Color Splash and the terrific second-season premiere of the CW’s Supergirl, while Sean continues his journey through the Japanese release of Persona 5 and shares thoughts on the pre-release beta of Dragon Ball: Xenoverse. And after both of us discuss this weekend’s Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare beta, Jonathan reviews the campaign of Gears of War 4, which is…okay. We elaborate from there. But the main attraction is definitely Shin Godzilla, and if you have a chance to see this film in theatres, you absolutely should.

Enjoy!
