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.

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 23rd!
– 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!
