The Weekly Stuff #120 - Talking Star Wars, Crimson Peak, & Doctor Who S9E6

On this week's show, we devote some time to the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, in addition to exploring various odds and ends, like my experience seeing Crimson Peak, or playing the new Dragon Ball Z game, while Sean continues his in-progress review of the new Witcher 3 expansion. I give a guide to James Bond 101 for newcomers to the long-running franchise, in anticipation of Spectre, and for our main topic, we review the latest episode in what has been a stellar season of Doctor Who, The Woman Who Lived. Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff #119 - Reviewing Steve Jobs, Bridge of Spies, Persona 4 Dancing All Night & Doctor Who S9E5


This week's show is a busy one, as we cover some recent news in movies and video games, before jumping into a big slate of reviews. Sean gives his initial impressions on the new DLC for The Witcher 3, Jonathan reviews the recent films Steve Jobs and Bridge of Spies, and we both discuss the PS Vita game Persona 4: Dancing All Night in spoiler-y detail. And finally, we dive deep into the latest episode of Doctor Who, “The Girl Who Died,” which was all kinds of fantastic, and deserving of some lengthy conversation.

The Weekly Stuff #118 - The State of Star Wars & Doctor Who S9E4


In what should have been a light week, we somehow recorded for close to two hours, talking first about the Star Wars: Battlefront beta on PS4, which transitions into a discussion about the state of Star Wars as we approach The Force Awakens. The hype train is in full effect, but why does everyone seem to feel so generally apathetic towards the franchise these days? We explore that and other issues before jumping into a discussion of this week’s Doctor Who, “Before the Flood,” which continues the show’s recent, entertaining hot streak. And finally, we discuss a longtime listener’s Top 10 list of their favorite podcast episodes, which made for a nice, surreal trip down memory lane (Thanks to Kenny for that!).

The Weekly Stuff #117 - Persona 4 Dancing All Night, Movie Talk, & Doctor Who S9E3


This is a light, grab-bag style week on the podcast, as Sean gives his initial thoughts on Persona 4: Dancing All Night for the PS Vita, Jonathan talks about this weekend’s new movies – including Ridley Scott’s The Martian and Robert Zemeckis’ The Walk – and both of us discuss the latest Doctor Who episode, “Under the Lake,” which was excellent.
