The Last King Podcast

In this very special episode, Mr Toffee & Shafique check out this year's Singapore Toys, Games, and Comics Convention and ponder if it still holds any relevance & meaning to the comics entertainment industry.

To help us, we talked to A LOT of local peeps; from icons like Sonny Liew to experts like "Geek Culture" & the crew at "Just Saying Asia".

It's a monster mash as we discuss which of these giant lizard films is worth watching: "Pete's Dragon" or "Shin Godzilla". But before that epic battle, we talk a little bit about recent Xbox and PlayStation announcements and "Super Mario Bros." jumping the piranha pipe and onto mobile platforms.

In our fifth most drunken episode (a.k.a EPISODE V) we kick off with a review of "Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV" and a slight warning,

MINOR SPOILERS?

We bring up its obvious flaws, give shine to its strengths and cap off the discussion to where it stands within the Final Fantasy canon of films and games.

We also express our reactions to the trailer for the upcoming Kojima-less "Metal Gear Survive" and the immediate backlash that ensued. We also talk a little about the upcoming "Resident Evil 7" and how it's straying away from the formula of the previous games.

And rounding up the episode we bring up our new addiction to Netflix, we talk about "Stranger Things", "American Crime Story" and "The Get Down". We gush over these shows and also get our nerd on by also rediscovering the entire "Star Trek" television catalogue.
