Episode 482: NateTheHate Presents: The Switch 2 with Andrew Levins
23/01/2025 Duration: 01h05minYears and years of speculation, leaks, rumours, blurry photos, forum posts and industry whispers have led to this moment: a two minute video with barely any information in it. Nevertheless, the Switch 2 has finally been revealed and so we've got ANDREW LEVINS on the line to chat about everything we've seen on this new console and the tantalising glimpse of a new Mario Kart. We're also chatting about Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, speculating about the future of the big ape, and Levins gives us his three under the radar indie games that he thinks we'll enjoy!

21/01/2025 Duration: 01h24minWelcome to VIDEODRONE, our new offshoot podcast where each week we're going to be chatting about the new releases in film and TV, as well as recapping the biggest TV shows of the moment, with the same level of jackassery that we bring to video games discourse every week on Filthy Casuals.We're going to be joined by GEN FRICKER for the next little while to recap season two of Severance in the back half of every episode. It's been a long three year wait for Ben and Tommy, and mere hours for Gen as she binged season one for the first time after we asked her to do this. What's happening at Lumon after the explosive events at the end of season one? Is anyone telling the truth in this episode?Also, Tommy's seen the Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, Gen and Ben have seen the unfortunate awards contender Emilia Perez and Gen's checked out the not-as-horny-as-you-might-think Babygirl!filthycasuals.com.au Hosted on Acast.

Episode 480: Sonic 3, The Hedgehog
09/01/2025 Duration: 01h06minIt's still early enough in the year that it's very quiet on the new games front so we've dragged our little fannies down to the multiplex to check out SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 with special guest BEN RUSSELL! We do a deep dive on every aspect of the film: did an AI write the script? How many hours did Keanu Reeves spend in the voiceover booth? Why is there a reference to The Green Lantern (2011) halfway through this movie? If you like hearing a group of elder millennials dissect a movie that was NOT made for them, then this is the episode for you!filthycasuals.com.au Hosted on Acast.

02/01/2025 Duration: 01h21minOne year is over and now another year has begun. Personally, I've never seen anything like this happen before but I'll do my best to put that out of my head and get stuck into what is sure to become the new craze of 2025: "Podcasting". We're taking a look ahead at the games we'll be playing this year: there's a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima which we can neither remember nor pronounce the title of, there's a new Grand Theft Auto on the horizon, a new Monster Hunter, a new Civilization, a new Switch!!??

Episode 477: The Game Awards 2024
19/12/2024 Duration: 01h29minIt's time to frock up, awards season is here. Which of course in the world of video games means you're watching 60 trailers in an expensive dress. And loving it!

This gown is super uncomfortable though so maybe it would have been nice to listen to a podcast recapping all the big announcements rather than coming all the way out to this theatre.
