The Weekly Stuff #495 - Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Analogue Pocket, Ripley, and Anime Galore

In one of the grab-baggiest grab bag episodes we’ve ever recorded, Sean reviews a bunch of anime including Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Solo Leveling, and The Dangers in My Heart, and talks about playing through all the DLC forDragon Ball Z: Kakarot; Jonathan gives his thoughts on Netflix’s outstanding new drama Ripley and talks about finally getting his hands on the premium Game Boy device, the Analogue Pocket; and finally, we both give our initial impressions of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Sean after playing the first few hours, Jonathan after playing the first 40 hours, but neither of us anywhere near completing this mammoth second chapter of the Remake project.Enjoy! Time Chart:Into & Housekeeping: 0:00:00 – 0:06:02Talkin’ Anime: 0:06:02 – 0:48:53Talkin’ Ripley & Netflix: 0:48:53 – 1:11:17Dragon Ball Z Kakarot DLC: 1:11:17 – 1:31:36Analogue Pocket: 1:31:36 – 1:58:58Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: 1:58:58 – 2:57:00Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuffRead the book 200 Reviews by Jonathan R.
