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

<p>It’s a giant episode with many topics today, led by an in-depth discussion of Insomniac’s fantastic <i>Spider-Man 2 </i>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 <i>Super Mario Bros. Wonder </i>for Nintendo Switch, Sean shares more thoughts on <i>Baldur’s Gate 3, </i>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, <i>Doctor Who, </i>as we both find ourselves watching through parts of the series in advance of this month’s 60th anniversary specials. </p><p>Enjoy! </p><p><strong>Time Chart:</strong></p><p>Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:04:35</p><p>Baldur’s Gate 3: 0:04:35 – 0:08:55</p><p>Doctor Who: 0:08:55 – 0:57:52</p><p>News: 0:57:52 – 1:40:28</p><p>Super Mario Wonder: 1:40:28 – 1:49:22</p><p>Spider-Man 2: 1:49:22 – 3:15:52</p><p>Support the show at Ko-fi ☕️ <a href="https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff">https://ko-fi.com/weeklystuff</a></p><p>Read the book <i>200 Reviews by Jonathan R.
