On this special bonus episode of The Weekly Stuff Podcast, host and film critic Jonathan Lack counts down his Top 10 Films of 2014.

The Weekly Stuff #102 - Persona Q, Far Cry 4, Star Wars VII Teaser, November's broken video games & much more!

On a belated, busy episode of the Weekly Stuff Podcast, we discuss lots of topics from the month of November, including our reactions to recent video games like Persona Q, Far Cry 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. We also discuss some recent movies and movie trailers - including the much-hyped teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode VII - and finally, talk about the disturbing trend of 'broken' games at launch throughout the last month. Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff #101 - Doctor Who Series 8 Finale Review & Retrospective

With the eighth series of Doctor Who having wrapped up with its finale episode, "Death in Heaven," we take an in-depth look at the final episodes of the season, before transitioning into our overall thoughts on the series as a whole. This was a year with a whole lot of great content, but did it work on the whole? Other topics discussed include Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, upcoming video games, and Marvel's ambitious Phase Three movie plans.

The Weekly Stuff #100 - The Top 100 Stuff & Doctor Who S8E6-9

On the landmark 100th episode of The Weekly Stuff Podcast, we celebrate our centennial recording by counting down our Top 100 Stuff! What does that mean? It's a surprise. Listen to find out. Also discussed are Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Marvel and DC's respective film plans, and finally, some in-depth reviews of the latest four episodes of Doctor Who Series 8. Complete with another Persona theme song, this is an episode that encapsulates a little bit of everything we've been doing here at the Weekly Stuff Podcast for the last 99 episodes.

The Weekly Stuff #99 - Smash Bros 3DS Demo & Doctor Who S8E5 Review

It's a short episode this week, as we cover some odds and ends - including thoughts on the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS demo - before reviewing the latest episode of the eighth season of Doctor Who, "Time Heist." Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff #98 - Reviewing Bungie's "Destiny" and Doctor Who S8E4

Bungie's Destiny is one of the biggest game releases of the year, and also one of the most divisive. We share all our thoughts on this ambitious, innovative shooter, before moving on to our weekly discussion of Doctor Who with the season's fourth episode, "Listen." Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff #97 - Velocity 2X, Minecraft PS4 & Doctor Who S8E3

It's a calm before the storm kind of week here at The Weekly Stuff Podcast, with Bungie's Destiny right around the corner, so we take it slow this time with thoughts on this week's big PS4 releases - the brand new, and fantastic, Velocity 2X, alongside the oft-recycled, but always enjoyable Minecraft - and, as always, a review of the most recent Doctor Who episode, "Robot of Sherwood." Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff #96 - Gaming News, DC Shenanigans, & Doctor Who S8E2

The new season of Doctor Who is moving full steam ahead, and as always, we talk about the latest episode – “Into the Dalek” – in great detail at the end of the episode. But there were plenty of other topics to cover this week, from gaming’s depressingly misogynist week, to Nintendo’s big, confusing New 3DS announcement, to DC’s reported policy of outlawing humor in superhero films. All this, plus stories of Sean and Jonathan playing Diablo III co-op and brief reviews of recent arthouse films round out the episode.

The Weekly Stuff #95 - Doctor Who Series 8 Premiere Review

Continuing a longstanding tradition on the podcast, Sean and Jonathan offer an in-depth review and discussion of the new episode of Doctor Who, "Deep Breath." It's a hugely important episode, as the first story to feature Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor, but is it any good? Has Steven Moffat gotten over his worst instincts as a writer? And will Clara ever have an even partially consistent character? Listen to find out.

The Weekly Stuff # 94 - Revisiting Classic Doctor Who Introduction Stories

With Peter Capaldi's 12th Doctor incoming on the new season of Doctor Who, we spend an episode discussing our favorite TV show by revisiting other Doctor introduction episodes over the life of the series - namely, the 3rd Doctor story "Spearhead from Space," "The Twin Dilemma" from the 6th Doctor, "The Christmas Invasion" for the 10th Doctor, and "The Eleventh Hour" for the 11th. Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff #93 - Guardians of the Galaxy, Robin Williams, Gamescom & More

It's a very busy episode, as we catch up on several weeks worth of film and gaming news, including all the biggest announcements out of Gamescom 2014, offer our thoughts on Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' and, of course, pay our respects to the late, great Robin Williams. 

The Weekly Stuff #92 - Destiny Beta Chat & Miscellaneous Gaming News

It's a rather loose, relaxed episode this week, as Sean and Jonathan break down some movie and gaming news, discuss what recent games they've been playing, and have a discussion about Bungie's 'Destiny' console beta. Enjoy! 

The Weekly Stuff #91 - 2014 Year-to-date Review

After an unfortunate two-week
break, we have returned with a jam-packed episode, in which we cover a wide
array of topics, from sharing thoughts on Doug Liman’s Edge of Tomorrow, to discussing the sorry state of PC gaming
platform Steam, to breaking down various bits of movie, gaming, and TV news – Doctor Who returns August 23^rd!
– and a whole lot more. But the central topic is a look back at the year 2014
has been so far in the realms of film, gaming, and television, with Sean and
myself offering three recommendations apiece for the best new games, movies,
and shows of the year to date. Enjoy! 

The Weekly Stuff #90 - Destiny First-Look Alpha Reactions & E3 Wrap-up

Having broken down all the biggest E3 news and announcements last week, we return this week for some final E3 wrap-up, including our reactions to the first-look Alpha for Bungie's new game Destiny. Also discussed are Warner Bros’ supposed
 plans for an ambitious (and foolhardy) DC cinematic universe, and some 
final thoughts on Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs. Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff #89 - Talking Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo & More at E3

With E3 well underway and all the major companies having delivered their annual press conferences - Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Sony, and Nintendo - we pick apart all the major news, announcements, and developments from the conference thus far, analyzing what this all means for the new video games consoles, and for the industry as a whole. Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff #88 - X-Men, Watch Dogs, Mario Kart 8, & More

In what might be the busiest episode we have ever recorded, Sean and Jonathan catch up on two
weeks worth of news – including the saga of Marvel’s Ant-Man following the departure of director Edgar Wright, and the
announcement of the hilariously awful title for Warner Bros’ Batman/Superman movie – in addition to four major discussion topics: A preview of next week’s E3 conference, a quick review of Mario
Kart 8for the Wii U, a
longer review of Watch Dogs for the
PlayStation 4, and an in-depth discussion of Brian Singer’s X-Men:
Days of Future Past. Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff #87 - Reviewing "Persona 3 The Movie: #1 - Spring of Birth"

As listeners probably know by now, our favorite video game of all time here at the Weekly Stuff is Persona 3, and with the first installment in the game's multi-part film adaptation having just hit home video, we wanted to offer an in-depth review of the movie. "Spring of Birth" is definitely a different beast than either of us expected, and it makes for an interesting, lively discussion. Also covered is the film's Blu-Ray release packaging and extras, so those on the fence about buying can have all the essential information. Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff #86 - Reviewing Gareth Edwards' "Godzilla" (2014)

With Gareth Edwards' "Godzilla" reboot film now in theatres and doing major box office numbers, we offer an in-depth discussion of the film, with hosts Sean - a lifelong Godzilla fan - and Jonathan - mostly familiar with the original 1954 'Gojira' - bringing two very different perspectives to the table. Recent Halo news and some other video game discussion rounds out the episode. Enjoy! 

The Weekly Stuff #85 - Taking down the atrocious 'Amazing Spider-Man 2'

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" is one of the worst films we here at The Weekly Stuff have ever seen, so on this week's episode, we tear the film apart in a long-form, in-depth review, discussing all the ways the movie fails simply
as a piece of filmmaking, along with exploring how the film fundamentally
misunderstands Peter Parker/Spider-Man as a character. Also discussed, at the top of the show, are some recent video games and video game news. Enjoy! 

The Weekly Stuff #84 - Our Top 10 Favorite Superhero Films

On this week's busy episode of The Weekly Stuff, we count down our Top 10 favorite comic-book superhero movies of all time, in recognition of the sheer number of superhero movies coming out this summer. Before the main topic, though, we cover a wide swath of recent news - from Star Wars casting to Hobbit name changes - Sean discusses a video he made with the new PS4 editing tools, and Jonathan offers some belated thoughts on Titanfall for the Xbox 360. Enjoy! 

The Weekly Stuff #83 - Captain America: The Winter Soldier Review & Discussion

Sean and Jonathan offer an in-depth review and discussion of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, along with some thoughts on the departure of Martin O'Donnell from Bungie, recent PS4 developments, and Sony's strange plans for a Sinister Six movie. Enjoy! 

The Weekly Stuff #82 - Marvel Movie Retrospective & One-Shot Reviews

After discussing the recent video games we've been playing - including Bravely Default, Dark Souls II, and Luftrausers - and briefly covering some recent gaming news, Sean and Jonathan prepare for Captain America: The Winter Soldier by looking back at all of Marvel Studios' films to date, and reviewing some of the One-Shot short films included on the Marvel movie Blu-Ray releases. 

The Weekly Stuff #81 - Infamous: Second Son Review

Sean and Jonathan offer an in-depth review and discussion of the first major post-launch exclusive for the PlayStation 4, Infamous: Second Son. Suffice it to say, we're both big fans, and there is a lot to cover. Also discussed are Jonathan's misadventures syncing (and losing) PSN trophies, and Sean's stories about his shiny new laptop. Enjoy!
