The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Impressions, Star Wars Stuff, and more!

The Weekly Stuff Podcast #466

May 23, 2023

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.

The biggest video game launch of 2023 is here with Nintendo’s highly anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch, and after a little over a week of playing, we’ve got thoughts! Jonathan was a big fan of Breath of the Wild, while Sean was much more lukewarm on it, but we’re both greatly enjoying this shockingly expansive sequel, which builds and improves upon the previous game in countless surprising and delightful ways. Before the Zelda talk, though, we hit some other pieces of business – including Jonathan teaching a very cool series on Wes Anderson at Iowa City’s FilmScene theater starting May 30^th, which you should absolutely join me for if you’re around! – and Sean tells us about his recent Star Wars adventures, including the video game Star Wars Jedi Survivor and watching Season 3 of The Mandalorian.

Enjoy!
