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

It’s the grab-bag to end all
grab-bags and a real emotional roller coaster on this week’s very loose
podcast. The biggest topic this week is something more serious than we usually
tackle, and that is the wave of racism in the gaming community (highlighted by
PewDiePie’s behavior earlier this month) and sexism in the film scene (the
scandal involving Devin Faraci, Tim League, Harry Knowles, and more in Austin).
It’s not an easy thing to talk about, but it is crucial to stop and take a
deeper look, to try understanding how we can better identify and talk about
these problems in the future, and what we can all do on an individual basis to
try to improve the communities we take part in.
And we try to even out that heavy subject
matter with a bevy of funnier, sillier topics, including us speculating about
the N64 Classic Edition, updating our thoughts on Destiny 2 and Metroid: Samus
Returns, previewing the games we’re playing in October, and much more.
