The Weekly Stuff Podcast #483 - Spider-Man 2 Spoiler Review, Super Mario Wonder, Doctor Who & More!

It’s a giant episode with many topics today, led by an in-depth discussion of Insomniac’s fantastic Spider-Man 2 for the PS5. We break down the gameplay and story in spoiler-filled detail at the end of today’s show, mostly praising it but also debating whether or not the controversial MJ missions are bad – please take to social media and use #JonathanWasRight (they suck) or #SeanWasRight (they’re great and there should be more) to sound off. Jonathan also gives final thoughts on Super Mario Bros. Wonder for Nintendo Switch, Sean shares more thoughts on Baldur’s Gate 3, we talk some major Hollywood news including Marvel’s latest misfire and the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike, and we spend more time than we have in a long while talking about our favorite show, Doctor Who, as we both find ourselves watching through parts of the series in advance of this month’s 60th anniversary specials. Enjoy! Time Chart:Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:04:35Baldur’s Gate 3: 0:04:35 – 0:08:55Doctor Who: 0:08:55 – 0:57:52News: 0:57:52 – 1:40:28Super Mario Wonder: 1:40:28 – 1:49:22Spider-Man 2: 1:49:22 – 3:15:52Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuffRead the book 200 Reviews by Jonathan R.
