 plans for an ambitious (and foolhardy) DC cinematic universe, and some 
final thoughts on Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs. 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!
