June 06, 2014 The Weekly Stuff #088 - X-Men, Watch Dogs, Mario Kart 8, and more!
In what might be the busiest episode we have ever recorded, Sean and Jonathan catch up on two  weeks worth of news – including the saga of Marvel’s Ant-Man following the departure of director Edgar Wright, and the  announcement of the hilariously awful title for Warner Bros’ Batman/Superman movie – in addition to four major discussion topics: A preview of next week’s E3 conference, a quick review of Mario  Kart 8 for the Wii U, a  longer review of Watch Dogs for the  PlayStation 4, and an in-depth discussion of Brian Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past.

May 22, 2014 The Weekly Stuff #087 - Reviewing Persona 3 The Movie #1 – Spring of Birth
As listeners probably know by now, our favorite video game of all time here at the Weekly Stuff is Persona 3, and with the first installment in the game's multi-part film adaptation having just hit home video, we wanted to offer an in-depth review of the movie. "Spring of Birth" is definitely a different beast than either of us expected, and it makes for an interesting, lively discussion. Also covered is the film's Blu-Ray release packaging and extras, so those on the fence about buying can have all the essential information. Enjoy!

May 21, 2014 The Weekly Stuff #086 - Reviewing Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla
With Gareth Edwards' "Godzilla" reboot film now in theatres and doing major box office numbers, we offer an in-depth discussion of the film, with hosts Sean - a lifelong Godzilla fan - and Jonathan - mostly familiar with the original 1954 'Gojira' - bringing two very different perspectives to the table. Recent Halo news and some other video game discussion rounds out the episode. Enjoy!

May 13, 2014 The Weekly Stuff #085 - Reviewing The Amazing Spider-Man 2
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" is one of the worst films we here at The Weekly Stuff have ever seen, so on this week's episode, we tear the film apart in a long-form, in-depth review, discussing all the ways the movie fails simply  as a piece of filmmaking, along with exploring how the film fundamentally  misunderstands Peter Parker/Spider-Man as a character. Also discussed, at the top of the show, are some recent video games and video game news. Enjoy!
