THE REAL NEVER-ENDING STORY!

The Last of Us was a bit of a risk on Naughty Dog's part back in 2013, but it paid off far more than anyone could've predicted. For the past decade, the game has been lauded as one of the best ever created, many regarding it as THE best, and it's quite literally changed the game for single-player titles and interactive storytelling. So much so that it was released again. And again. And again in about a week. So, to analyze why the industry got so hooked on this game, join Alec and Brian as they go over all the game's nooks and crannies in this jumbo-sized episode!

Luckily, there's plenty to talk about, as numerous glimpses into what the entertainment industry is cooking have dropped. So, tune in as Brian and Alec look ahead to several highly anticipated things happening in 2023 and beyond, including The Last of Us, Jedi: Survivor, all the insane DC news, and of course, Across the Spider-Verse!

Tune in as Brian and Alec dive deep into the highs and lows of this massive chapter in the saga of Kratos, as well as giving their thoughts on recent trailers and news!

"ONLY THE MOST BROKEN PEOPLE CAN BE GREAT LEADERS."

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is a film that had everything going against it, and despite everything, it's somehow prevailed. Not only as being a solid and successful film, but in paying tribute to one of this generation's most influential icons, the late, great Chadwick Boseman. Alec and Brian have a lot of love for this film, and therefore a lot to talk about, so tune in as they discuss the ins-and-outs of it all.

"I AM YOUR MONSTER NO LONGER"

With the recent release of God of War: Ragnarök, we figured there was no time like the present to talk about its predecessor. Winning numerous awards and garnering mountains of praise, 2018's God of War is considered one of the generation-defining titles of its era. Its success is absolutely undeniable, but nearly four years later, how does it hold up? Tune in as Alec and Brian discuss the story, characters, highs, and lows of this epic father-and-son journey!

EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN!

Remakes are nothing new to the games industry, they've been around for quite some after all, but they're especially in demand today with new technology promising a lot for companies and developers to make a game better and sell it at full price once again. However, it's not as easy of a slam dunk as it may seem, and if the past month is anything to go by, some companies get it, and one in particular doesn't. Tune in as Alec and Brian give their thoughts, hopes, and grievances for upcoming remakes such as Dead Space, Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 4, and the Last of Us show!
