The Weekly Stuff Podcast #205 – Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Mario + Rabbids, Twin Peaks Part 16 & More!


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 have two awesome topics to talk about this week, and that’s on top of an opening hour where we give impressions of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for Nintendo Switch, give an update on the SNES Classic Preorder Debacle, and reflect on the state of Valve after the reveal of the ultimately unused Half-Life 2 Episode 3 plot synopsis. Those main topics are a spoiler-filled review of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy for the PS4, a ‘bonus’ Uncharted game so good it has us wishing Naughty Dog would keep making these until the end of time. And finally, we dive deep with the penultimate episode of Twin Peaks: The Return, “Part 16,” which was a simply marvelous episode of television that, to paraphrase a certain character, “made our hearts so full.”

Enjoy, and join our Patreon today to get access to Bonus Podcasts, Let’s Play gaming videos, and more!

The Weekly Stuff Bonus #1 – Doctor Who: The Aztecs (Story 6, 1964)


It’s time for the first in a series of monthly bonus episode of The Weekly Stuff Podcast with Jonathan Lack & Sean Chapman, episodes where we will be discussing serials from classic Doctor Who history.


Today, we dive into the 6th Doctor Who story ever told, “The Aztecs,” by John Lucarotti. Emblematic of the ‘pure’ historical stories of the First Doctor (William Hartnell) era, devoid of any sci-fi trappings other than the basic conceit of time travel, this is one of the great stories in Doctor Who history, a spotlight on early companion Barbara and a testament to the show’s early penchant for creative, thoughtful storytelling and keen characterization. We give the episode our trademark in-depth look, and invite you to watch along with us as we take a curated journey through Doctor Who history.
