The Weekly Stuff Podcast #178 – Nintendo Switch, Zelda Breath of the Wild, & Horizon Zero Dawn Impressions

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.

It’s a very busy week, so we’re releasing two podcasts this time around – one today, and an extra one on Wednesday, in which we will be reviewing James Mangold’s outstanding superhero drama Logan in depth. Today’s episode, though, is all about video games – as in the span of one week we got the latest major PS4 exclusive, Horizon Zero Dawn, a brand new console in the Nintendo Switch, and the long-awaited The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. That’s a lot of cool stuff to sift through for one week, and we offer impressions on all of it – spoiler-free, of course! – with Sean’s thoughts on Horizon and Jonathan’s take on the Switch and Zelda.

Enjoy, and come back Wednesday for our episode with spoiler-filled thoughts on Logan!

The Weekly Stuff Podcast #177 – Zelda Retrospective, Ranking Nintendo Consoles, and so much more!

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.

In a packed grab-bag style episode, Sean and Jonathan tackle a variety of topics, from a Nintendo Switch pre-release news roundup to Xbox One complaints, another round of Sean’s Beta Corner, and so much more! For our first main topic, we prepare for the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with a retrospective of our experiences with the Zelda series and thoughts on how it’s evolved over the years. And for our second topic, we prepare for the launch of the Switch by ranking all of Nintendo’s home and mobile consoles – all 10 to 12 of them, depending on where you stand on a very silly argument between Jonathan and Sean – from worst (spoiler: it’s the Virtual Boy) to best (spoiler: it’s exactly what you think it is…hopefully there are some surprises in between).

Enjoy, and come back next week for our impressions of the Nintendo Switch, Zelda, Logan, Horizon Zero Dawn, and more!
