  • Great close reads on video games

    I’ve been marathon-ing their Final Fantasy series and it’s been a great way to revisit the games. The podcasters do amazing close reading on dialogue and they really get at character writing and motivations in a way that is rarely found in most game podcasts.

  • Decent if you don’t like the things they cover

    Likable hosts, I like that they really take their time on each game. I dislike that they try to dunk on the games to be mildly humorous. People who are willing to listen to hours and hours of commentary on a game probably don’t want to hear you hate on it 90% of the time when it’s not that funny and often doesn’t feel accurate or in good faith… “This game is for babies.

  • Love the Podcast but….

  • Best Zelda and video game podcast all around!

    Best takes, best conversations and best camaraderie between hosts of any show like it! These three really know how to get into the weeds and still have a good time! Their timelines will shock you (but only because they’re correct)

    I have always loved Zelda and never cared about Final Fantasy but after listening to them discuss FF I quickly downloaded FF 1-6! The Metroid episodes are also excellent.

    Do yourself a favor and LISTEN!!
