The Weekly Stuff Podcast #434 – Obi-Wan Kenobi Finale & Series Review

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 Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. 

Obi-Wan Kenobi, the 6-episode Star Wars miniseries on Disney+, finished up its run this week with an emotionally charged and visually stunning episode that proved this to be just as much a series about Darth Vader as it was about Obi-Wan, and all the better for it. We really enjoyed these 6 episodes, even with a few wonky bits of plotting or visuals along the way, and found ourselves deeply invested in the story it told about Obi-Wan, Vader, Leia, and all the other characters introduced along the way. It’s certainly a show that rewards the kind of discussions we do here, but that’s not all for this week! Sean also talks about revisiting the original Resident Evil as he begins working his way through the remakes, Jonathan reviews the Sonic Origins collection, and we laugh about Sony’s quixotic quest to make increasingly terrible movies about ever-more obscure Spider-Man villains with news on Kraven the Hunter (and a lot of jokes about Morbius). 

 

It’s Morbin’ Time! 

 

Time Chart:

Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:04:08

Stuff, including Resident Evil: 0:04:08 – 0:45:55

It’s Morbin’ Time: 0:45:55 – 1:10:02

Obi-Wan Kenobi: 1:10:02 – 2:52:42

Weekly Suit Gundam #55 – Three-Year Anniversary Celebration & Rankings Part 2: Top 10 Gundam Soundtracks & Top 40 Gundam Songs!

It’s time for Weekly Suit Gundam, a show exploring the world of Mobile Suit Gundam from The Weekly Stuff Podcast with Jonathan Lack & Sean Chapman. You can subscribe for free in iTunes by following this link.  

In Part 2 of our 3rd Anniversary ranking celebration, we’re diving deep into the amazingly rich waters of Gundam music! The songs and soundtracks for Gundam have always been one of our favorite parts of this franchise, and a ubiquitous topic of conversation with every show we cover, and having reviewed all the Gundam, it’s time to rank all the music! First we count down our Top 10 favorite Gundam Soundtracks – the scores, or background music, composed for the various shows and movies – and then it’s time to talk about songs. We rank our Top 10 favorite songs from the shows we reviewed over the last year, and then update our list of all-time favorite Gundam songs with our own individual Top 40 Songs lists! (Which we have made playlists of on YouTube, so you can listen to our lists like we’ve DJ’d our own Gundam radio stations!) 

 

Enjoy, and come back soon for Part 3, where we’ll be ranking the best Mobile Suits, characters, and MUCH more, including fun and silly lists suggested by YOU the listeners!

The Weekly Stuff Podcast #433– Not-E3 2022 & Gundam Music Rankings Extravaganza!

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 Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

In today’s supercharged extra-long podcast (still less than half-as-long as last week’s 10th anniversary spectacular,though), we go through some of the gaming news from Not-E3 2022, including the reveal of the next entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga, Persona 3 and 4 coming to modern consoles, Resident Evil VILLage getting DLC, and much more! And then for our main topic, it’s a Weekly Suit Gundam music extravaganza as we’re ranking the best Gundam soundtracks and songs in a music discussion so massive we could barely fit it all in one episode, including Sean and Jonathan’s respective Top 40 Gundam Songs! (Which now have dedicated playlists on YouTube, which you can listen as if we’ve DJ’d our own Gundam radio stations!)

 

Enjoy!

The Weekly Stuff Podcast #432 – 10 FOR 10: The Weekly Stuff Podcast 10th Anniversary Spectacular!

It’s time for the very special 10th anniversary 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 Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

10 years ago today, on June 13th, 2012, we launched The Weekly Stuff Podcast (then called WGTC Radio) – and today, 10 years and 432 episodes later, we’re bringing you the biggest episode we’ve ever done to celebrate. In this massive 10-hour podcast spectacular, we’ve recorded 10 topics for 10 years, each revisiting one of our many recurring subjects – like Doctor Who, Persona, Lord of the Rings, and Gundam – by reviewing or discussing something in that area we haven’t talked about before. So you’ll hear us discuss things like “The Three Doctors,” the Doctor Who serial from 1973 that marked that show’s 10th anniversary with its first-ever multi-Doctor story, or “Persona 3: The Weird Masquerade,” the extremely bizarre and weirdly compelling stage musical based on one of our all-time favorite video games. And there’s a lot more – this podcast is full of surprises, and while we’ve listed the topic areas in the time chart below, we haven’t listed exactly what we’re discussing, just in case you’d like to go in unspoiled. 

 

Thank you all so much for being along for the ride, whether you’ve recently discovered our podcast or have been here for all 10 years. And as always…Enjoy!

Weekly Suit Gundam #54 – Three-Year Anniversary Celebration & Rankings Part 1: Ranking All the Gundam Series!

It’s been three whole years since we started this podcast, watching just two episodes of the original Mobile Suit Gundam for our first show – and three years later, we’ve watched over 800 episodes of Gundam and reviewed every series in the pantheon. So for this year’s celebration, we’re not just ranking the shows we reviewed in the past year – though we do that as well – but ranking every Gundam show, with Sean and Jonathan sharing their individual lists before debating and coming to a consensus on an official Weekly Suit Gundam ranking of all 33 Gundam shows/OVAs/movies we’ve covered on this show. It’s the moment you’ve been waiting three whole years for. What’s the best Gundam show? What’s the worst? By the end of today’s podcast, you’ll have the definitive answers on these questions and more! 

Enjoy, and come back soon for Parts 2 and 3 of our 3rd anniversary festivities, where we’ll be ranking the best Gundam songs, soundtracks, Mobile Suits, characters, and MUCH more, including fun and silly lists suggested by YOU the listeners!  

 

And be sure to check out the very special 10th anniversary special of our other long-running podcast, The Weekly Stuff, which is premiering Monday, June 13th at 10:00 am and has a special Gundam component! https://youtu.be/21eM2T-63Vs

It’s been three years since we started our sister series Weekly Suit Gundam, watching just two episodes of the original Mobile Suit Gundam for our first show – and three years later, we’ve watched over 800 episodes of Gundam and reviewed every series in the pantheon. So for this year’s anniversary, we’re not just ranking the shows we reviewed in the past year – though we do that as well – but ranking every Gundam show, with Sean and Jonathan sharing their individual lists before debating and coming to a consensus on an official Weekly Suit Gundam ranking of all 33 Gundam shows/OVAs/movies we’ve covered on this show. It’s the moment you’ve been waiting three whole years for. And if you’re not into Gundam, fear not! We also spend an hour at the top of the show talking Genshin Impact Version 2.7, hear Jonathan’s experiences creating a fan edit of the Star Wars spin-off Book of Boba Fett, and go over some of the gaming news from Not-E3 2022. 

 

Enjoy, and be sure not to miss our very special 10th Anniversary podcast spectacular this Monday, June 13th, at 10am! It’s the biggest and best episode we’ve ever done – 10 topics over 10 hours – and we hope to see you there.  https://youtu.be/21eM2T-63Vs
