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



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.

This is a weird podcast.

Not because of any of the topics, necessarily. We devoted some time to the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, as one does. We explored various odds and ends, like my experience seeing Crimson Peak, or playing the new Dragon Ball Z game, and 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 reviewed the latest episode in what has been a stellar season of Doctor Who, “The Woman Who Lived.” All pretty standard stuff.

But we also got off track during the Crimson Peak discussion to speculate about people potentially masturbating in movie theaters to Tom Hiddleston, and, you know, the podcast got off track pretty fast. It happens. Sometimes. Just thought I’d throw the warning out there for those with sensitive ears.

Enjoy, and come back next week as we talk more Doctor Who and the launch of Halo 5!

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



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.

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.

Enjoy!

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



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.

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!).

Enjoy!
