The Weekly Stuff #438 – The RESIDENT EVIL 4 Episode


Listen Later

Today’s episode is a real treat, as we finally take the time to talk about one of the greatest video games of all time, Resident Evil 4. With the remake of Capcom’s action classic coming next Spring, and Sean and Jonathan both having fallen hard down the Resident Evil rabbit hole at different times over the past few years, we thought now was the perfect time to break down why Resident Evil 4 is so entirely singular, why it’s so ridiculously fun and engaging, and why it still stands tall and timeless as such a perfect masterclass of game design 17 years later. We also break down the news out of the Marvel panel from this week’s Comic-Con, where producer Kevin Feige laid out the next few years of MCU movies and shows in a plan that has us both feeling exhausting and baffled. But hey, the Black Panther trailer was great! 

Enjoy, and come back next week for the launch of our brand new anime podcast, Japanimation Station!
