This week, our show eats itself like a snake eating it's tail: we're talking about the game, based on the movie, based on the game RATCHET & CLANK! The furry fighter and his robot pal debuted with a classic game on the PS2 and have built a high-quality series of hit action platformers. The 2016 film adaptation tried to capture some of the game's cartoonish wit and space opera thrills, but it's the 2016 RATCHET & CLANK game (both a remake of the original and an adaptation of the film, which is an adaptation of the original game, which... my nose is bleeding) that really gets it right.
