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.

Our very busy Spring continues with another grab bag style episode, as Jonathan shares his impressions from the first hours of Mass Effect Andromeda and opinion on Disney’s smash hit Beauty and the Beast remake, and, for our main topic, we dive in even deeper to the wonderful world of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Sean has finally had the chance to start playing it, so there’s a lot to break down, including points where he and Jonathan disagree on the game’s effectiveness. Other topics covered include continued Nintendo Switch impressions and a list of Jonathan jumping on an internet bandwagon to share his favorite films from every year of his life.

Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff Podcast #180 – Grab Bag! More Switch, Zelda, Horizon, and Persona Chats



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.

We may be a day late this week, but we make up for it with a podcast jam-packed with topics and featuring, for the first time in a long while, a special guest! Jonathan’s brother Thomas joins us to follow up on our discussions about the Nintendo Switch and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and chats with us about his recent discovery of Persona 3 at the end of the show (just in case you haven’t gotten your Persona 3 fix from us in a while). Meanwhile, Sean gives his thoughts on Horizon Zero Dawn after finishing the game, and we also talk a little about the insanely fun Kong: Skull Island. It’s a fun, varied, grab-bag style episode, and we think you’re really going to enjoy it.

The Weekly Stuff Podcast #179 – Reviewing James Mangold’s “Logan”



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 our second podcast of the week, we take an in-depth look at James Mangold’s outstanding superhero drama Logan, the last film to feature Hugh Jackman’s iconic performance as Wolverine. We think this is, simply put, one of the best films the genre has offered to date, a thoughtful, emotional, and surprisingly timely film that breaks most every rule in the Hollywood blockbuster playbook. There’s a lot to break down, especially considering that Logan essentially marks the end of an era that stretches all the way back to 2000, when Jackman first played the role. Spoilers aplenty in this episode, so be sure to see the movie first.

Enjoy!
