The Weekly Stuff #233 – Avengers: Infinity War Review & God of War Impressions


Listen Later

Marvel’s biggest movie yet has landed in theaters, and we have a lot to say about the surprisingly great Avengers: Infinity War, a movie that has no right working, and yet somehow works amazingly well on so many levels. The biggest film event of the year would be enough to fill one podcast, of course – and we give the film the same spoiler-filled, in-depth discussion we always do with these movies – but that’s not all going on this week, as Sony launched one of the generation’s very best games in God of War. Neither of us has finished the (very long) game yet, so we just give some general impressions on the world and gameplay, without any spoilers or in-depth plot discussion (more on that next week!), to give some initial thoughts on why this game is such an immense, impressive treat. We also touch on some recent news from Nintendo, make fun of the latest horrible Venom trailer, and somehow go off on a tangent about Romeo & Juliet for 17 minutes, because that’s how we roll here at the Weekly Stuff Podcast.
