In a slightly less busy week than usual here, we present our usual Doctor Who review in addition to a wide-ranging grab-bag of topics. From Jonathan’s continued thoughts on Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia and the end of Supergirl Season 2, to Sean discussing the latest Mobile Suit Gundam anime, to a tribute to the late, great Roger Moore, to mocking the new Spider-Man Homecoming poster, and a brief tribute to Star Wars on its 40^th anniversary, the show lives up to its name this week by tackling a whole lot of stuff. And that’s before our weekly Doctor Who chat, in which we get to break down another entertaining, surprising, fascinating episode of a series working at the top of its game.  

Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff BONUS Podcast - The Complete Persona 5 Spoiler-Casts

It’s time for a special bonus 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.

If you’ve been listening to The Weekly Stuff Podcast for any length of time, you know that one of our favorite things to discuss is the Japanese RPG series Persona. So throughout the month of April, once Persona 5 was released in the US, we did big spoiler-chats on the podcast every week as we progressed through the game – talking about all the characters, story points, gameplay systems, and much more. We thought it would be fun for posterity’s sake to collect all these spoiler chats into one giant episode, either to make it easier for listeners to revisit in the future, or for those who haven’t played the game yet but might want to listen to our conversations one day. Plus, we thought it would be funny to release a giant 10-hour podcast and surprise everyone. In any case, we hope Persona fans find this fun and interesting and useful. Please refer to the time chart in the show notes to know where different parts of the discussion start and end. Each of the first four parts covers two Palaces or Story Arcs, and the final part gives some more general thoughts on the Confidants and the game’s story and themes in general.

So without further ado…enjoy!
