The Weekly Stuff #464 - Stuff Smorgasbord! Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Dumb Harry Potter News, Last of Us Remake, Microsoft x Activision Drama & More!

After a few weeks off, we’re back with a jam-packed smorgasbord of stuff to discuss, including (deep breath): first impressions of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor; reactions to WB’s idiotic and immoral decision to remake Harry Potter for Max; thoughts on the Microsoft/Activision merger drama; Jonathan’s thoughts on the incredible Spirited Away: Live on Stage that played in theaters this month; Sean’s thoughts on The Last of Us Part I remake for PS5 and his feelings after revisiting Part II as well; and so much more, including Jonathan’s adventures with travelling and with COVID! It’s an incredibly busy, jam-packed episode that hopefully makes up for our April hiatus.  Time Chart:Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:07:21 Stuff: 0:07:21 – 0:29:25Harry Potter News (and Twilight): 0:29:25 – 1:00:44Microsoft x Activision News: 1:00:44 – 1:29:53Death of Waypoint: 1:29:53 – 1:43:26Doctor Who News: 1:43:26 – 1:47:47Video Game Stuff: 1:47:47 – 2:13:48Last of Us: 2:13:48 – 2:26:32Star Wars Jedi Survivor: 2:26:32 – 2:48:36Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuffSubscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our sister series about the wide, wacky world of anime: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation  Explore our archives and subscribe to The Weekly Stuff Podcast on all podcasting platforms:https://weeklystuffpodcast.comFollow The Weekly Stuff Wordcast newsletter for regular updates and extra content! https://weeklystuff.substack.comEnding music by Thomas Lack https://www.thomaslack.com/  Read Jonathan Lack’s movie reviews and stay up to date with all our podcast projects at https://www.jonathanlack.comSubscribe to JAPANIMATION STATION, our podcast about the wide and wonderful world of anime: https://www.japanimation-station.com Read Jonathan’s book 200 Reviews in Paperback or on Kindle – https://a.co/d/bLx53vKSubscribe to our YouTube channels! Japanimation Station: https://www.youtube.com/c/japanimationstation  Purely Academic: https://www.youtube.com/@purelyacademicpodcastSupport the show at Ko-fi ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuffOriginal Music by Thomas Lack https://www.thomaslack.com/©2012 - Present Jonathan R.
