The Weekly Stuff Podcast #188 – Logan Noir, Hitman News, and Doctor Who S10E5



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 two-podcast (and slightly belated) week here on the show, as we’re offering one episode today and another later this week. On today’s show, we talk the new black-and-white version of Logan, ‘Logan Noir’, Sean continues his journey through ancient Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we break down the unfortunate news about Hitman developed IO Interactive, and most importantly, we dive into the latest episode of Doctor Who, “Oxygen.” It’s the best and most significant episode of the season so far, a season that, just five episodes in, has pretty firmly established itself as one of the modern show’s best.

Enjoy, and join us again later this week for our long-awaited Twin Peaks retrospective podcast!

The Weekly Stuff Podcast #187 – Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 Review, Doctor Who S10E4 & Persona 5 Wrap-Up



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 what might be our longest episode ever, we offer three big spoiler chats. First up is Guardains of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the latest film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and one of their best, most entertaining sequels to date. Next is this week’s episode of Doctor Who, “Knock Knock,” in which the show tries on a genuine horror setting and produces perhaps the best episode of the season so far (and prompts Sean to make a lot of Knock Knock joke puns). And finally, it’s time for one last (for now) Persona 5 discussion, as we move past our story spoiler-chats to offer an overview of the game as a whole, putting at least a temporary cap on our thoughts about this wonderful game.

Enjoy!
