The Weekly Stuff Podcast #182: What are the best video games? Plus more Zelda talk, Specter Knight, Movie News, and 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.

After a week off, we’re back with an extra-long episode clearing the deck before Persona 5 launches around the world this week – and commences to overwhelm our podcast in the weeks to come. Jonathan and Sean both chat about what they’ve been up to lately, Jonathan shares more thoughts on the Nintendo Switch – including games like Snake Pass, the Splatoon 2 testfire, and Shovel Knight and its latest expansion, Specter Knight – and we talk recent movie news like superhero trailers and Joss Whedon apparently making a Batgirl movie. Then we have three main topics for you this week – first, there’s more spoiler-chat with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and second, we ask the important question, “What are the best video games ever made?” and force ourselves to each pick 5 that represent our critical tastes in gaming. And finally, we spend a few minutes talking about our hopes and dreams for the Persona 5 launch, with Sean – who played the game in Japanese last year – giving a few spoiler-free pointers to those about to enjoy the game. As he says – appreciate the bass.

Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff Podcast #181 – Mass Effect Andromeda Impressions, More Zelda Talk, Beauty and the Beast, and 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.

Our very busy Spring continues with another grab bag style episode, as Jonathan shares his impressions from the first hours of Mass Effect Andromeda and opinion on Disney’s smash hit Beauty and the Beast remake, and, for our main topic, we dive in even deeper to the wonderful world of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Sean has finally had the chance to start playing it, so there’s a lot to break down, including points where he and Jonathan disagree on the game’s effectiveness. Other topics covered include continued Nintendo Switch impressions and a list of Jonathan jumping on an internet bandwagon to share his favorite films from every year of his life.

Enjoy!

We may be a day late this week, but we make up for it with a podcast jam-packed with topics and featuring, for the first time in a long while, a special guest! Jonathan’s brother Thomas joins us to follow up on our discussions about the Nintendo Switch and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and chats with us about his recent discovery of Persona 3 at the end of the show (just in case you haven’t gotten your Persona 3 fix from us in a while). Meanwhile, Sean gives his thoughts on Horizon Zero Dawn after finishing the game, and we also talk a little about the insanely fun Kong: Skull Island. It’s a fun, varied, grab-bag style episode, and we think you’re really going to enjoy it.
