We don’t want to be overly harsh about movie theater ‘disruption’ service MoviePass, but in the days between recording this episode and publishing it, they decided to limit users to three movies a month. So.

This episode, we talk about whether movie theaters need MoviePass or if they can find a what they need to survive in the 21st century; why making a casino game with a proper narrative seems verboten in the games industry; and how to inject something like Transformers with actual meaning.

You just spent three hours shooting into a dark cave, and your sweet drops include this lovely episode of the podcast. This week, we talk about the anti-GaaS – games like Dying Light, No Man’s Sky, and The Witcher that find ways to turn their games into a service without feeling like you’re constantly being advertised to. We also chat about the ramifications of a purely streaming-based Xbox, as well as what it means to be a critic in 2018.

You be Ira Plato, I’ll be Ira Glass, it’ll be fine. This week we talk about a pair of Mana remakes with Adventures of Mana on Vita (it’s fine!) and Secret of Mana on PS4 (uhhh), the games and genres from our youth that we just can’t bother with any more, as well as the recent contentious situation over at ArenaNet.

You gotta watch out for those science-y types; don’t let them play god with a bunch of dinosaurs and they’ll just let them loose to wreak havoc on your innocent park-goers. After another check-in on Susan’s dino park in Jurassic World: Evolution, Anthony talks about how hard it is to nail a good ending (Hollow Knight, good; Solo: A Star Wars Story and Westworld, bad). Susan reveals just how wrong the Tomb Raider flick’s portrayal of Lara Croft is, David brings some fiery hot takes about the Wii in 2018, and we close with some talk about Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle’s Donkey Kong DLC doesn’t quite scratch the same itch.

(BTW, it’s hard to talk about endings/the Westworld Finale/the Tomb Raider movie without spoiling stuff, so we’re gonna throw a spoiler warning here – the segment begins at around 3:30 and ends at 55:45.)

This episode is for all our shrimp husbands and lobster wives out there. This week, we talk about how to not worry and just enjoy jumping into the middle of long running series like Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, or Star Trek, as well as how we handle movies, shows, or games when some of our favorite creators turn out to be giant scumbags.
