Episode 173: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie & Hades II

After a two‑week hiatus, we’re back with two BIG topics. First, Jon reviews The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is crushing it at the box office. That conversation launches us into the newly announced Bloodborne animated film and what we hope to see from it.Next, Hades II has finally arrived on PlayStation, so both Nick and Jon share their early impressions of Supergiant’s latest. Nick also talks about a book he read that uses the popularity of Red Dead Redemption II to explore the real American history behind the game. We wrap things up by diving into the nostalgic, over‑the‑top power fantasy that is Space Marine 2. Thanks for listening!
