This week, Jason Arriola, John Lucero, and Franky Ordaz decide Mario might be an asshole, Far Cry 5 is a far cry from great, and Attack on Titan might not have the strongest story, characters, or writing, but it’s still fun.

SPOILER ALERT! John spoils the hell out of the end of Far Cry 5, so if you don’t want the ending spoiled, check out at 42:05 and come back at 49:35.

We’re taking a look back at the little Nintendo console that just couldn’t. In the first segment, Jason Arriola is joined by Vanessa Cahill and Franky Ordaz to talk about the development history of the Wii U, some of our favorite things about it, and some of the things we wish it did better (or at all). Then in the second segment, Jason is joined by JoeStar  to get his thoughts on the Wii U.

In a surprising turn of events, we all come to the conclusion that the Wii U wasn’t actually a bad system at all! So much so that Vanessa started a list of games to buy for it and try out as soon as we wrapped up!

Outro – Reincarnation  – Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE –  Yoshino Nanjo

Jason Arriola, John Lucero, and Conor Mahood have a discussion about last year’s Blade Runner 2049. We’re far more positive about this than we were about Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but that’s setting the bar fairly low, isn’t it?

If you’re interested in following Conor’s work outside of here, he’s one part of The Movie Express (the other part being podcast regular Luke Maxwell). You should also check out both of his novels, The Hanged Man and Somebody Else’s Dream and give some thought to him the next time you need voiceover work done.

And here’s the music we used for this week’s show!

Jason Arriola and John Lucero talk about Dragon Ball FighterZ for a bit and then talk about the different viewing options of the Dragon Ball saga. Is there a lot of Dragon Ball related stuff to watch? Holy hell, is there….

Jason Arriola, John Lucero, and Vanessa Cahill talk about Ness’ adventures in the wonderful world of the Switch, Geralt’s adventures in The Witcher III, and Jason’s love of the combat in Dragon’s Dogma. Mini rundown on the Nintendo Direct Mini! And… Labo is as Nintendo as Nintendo gets.

Jason Arriola, John Lucero, and Conor Mahood sit down and have a little chat about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. It gets a little heated, but remains civil because we’re adults talking about a movie. Hopefully needless to say, but SPOILERS AHOY!

Outro – Peace and Purpose  – Star Wars: The Last Jedi –  John Williams

John tests Jason’s ability to guess how the Keighley’s went down this year, we run down the announcements from there and PSX, Capcom is shaping up to have a hell of a 2018, and stuff we’ve been playing this week.

Jason Arriola and John Lucero talk about a lot of old stuff. Alternate history 1960’s America? Check. Egypt in the final years of the Ptolemaic Dynasty? Check. Umm, that might be the last of the old stuff unless you count movies and TV shows that came out in the last six months old? Sorry, I really flubbed this unifying thread thing.
