Episode Notes

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.
