Filthy Casuals With Tommy Dassalo, Ben Vernel And Adam Knox

Woolworths? Coles? IGA? Aldi? NO THANKS. At Filthy Casuals, we choose to do all of our grocery shopping at the Costa Rican Super Mario supermarket chain, which this week has had a landmark victory against the famously litigious Big N. We also chat about Dragon Age: The Veilguard not living up to certain expectations, the pressures on smaller studios to pull the pin on projects that aren't shaping up how they want, plus we review Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, Super Kiwi 64, Cavern Of Dreams and The Roottrees Are Dead!

We've managed to tear ourselves away from Cine2Nerdle just long enough this week to wrap up Luca Guadagnino's surreal William S. Burroughs adaptation 'Queer', starring Daniel Craig. GEN FRICKER takes us through the new science fiction horror 'Companion' and we visit the Goat Room in episode three of season two of Severance! filthycasuals.com.au Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Name me a single other podcast that would be brave enough to feature the following topics on the one episode:Bizarre Perth architecture.The Xbox Developer Direct, including a new look at the gameplay for South of Midnight, Doom The Dark Ages and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and an announcement of Ninja Gaiden 4.Reviews of new indie games Keep Driving and Lonely Mountain Snow Riders.Funny accents.You can't, can you? This is the only one. Therefore, you absolutely must listen to this episode.filthycasuals.com.au Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our good mate GEN FRICKER is back to join us in casting a discerning eye over the 2025 Oscar Nominations, before we all review the spectacular Sean Baker joint Anora, and finally dive deep into the second episode of season 2 of Severance. We're finally reunited with the best character on the show, and once we're done talking all things Ricken we see where all the rest of the Outies are.filthycasuals.com.au Hosted on Acast.

Years 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!

Welcome 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. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The leaks, rumours and speculation were all true: there is a new episode of Filthy Casuals online right now, in which we are talking about the absolute deluge of Nintendo Switch 2 leaks and rumours: from dummy consoles, to software line-ups, to entire motherboards showing up online, it really does feel like we are days away from an official announcement. But who knows! Definitely not us. Or do we? Listen in to find out, and you'll also hear us gushing about our new game obsession: the Pachinko meets Balatro dopamine-frenzy 'Ballionaire'!filthycasuals.com.au Hosted on Acast.

It'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.

One 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!!?? And with God as our witness, you'll hear about all of them and plenty, plenty more on this episode of Filthy Casuals!

After a 2024 full of talking about games, it's finally time to talk about the games of 2024. We've all got favourites, and we aren't afraid to share them! Who will earn a coveted spot amongst the Filthy Casuals Games of the Year? There's only two ways to find out: by listening to this podcast, or by asking somebody who has already listened to this podcast and also has a pretty incredible memory. Speaking of incredible memories, this is Adam and I just wanted to say again here in podcast description format: thank you all so much for listening to me on Filthy Casuals. I'm excited to see the show continue with Tommy and Ben, and I'm sure I will see you all again in the not too distant.

It'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! We talk through all the big announcements from this year's Game Awards, including a bunch of surprises like Elden Ring Nightreign, Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophecy, The Witcher 4, the Okami Sequel, a new Onimusha game, and an actual ton more. 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.

A red line appears on a map, tracking the flight of this podcast from Filthy City to Your-Ears-Ville. On board the plane are three adventurers, out to hunt ancient relics such as Unreal Tournament and the news that Epic are giving some of its series' games away for free now, news that Wallace and/or Gromit may be Pokemon, and reviews of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Antonblast, as well as much more.Adam's mailing list and socials here: https://linktr.ee/adamgknoxPatreon - every new episode ad-free and a world of bonus podcastsBandcamp Premium EpisodesYouTube - including live streams and Let's PlaysTwitch Hosted on Acast.

Seasons may be changing into a Christmasy winter or a festive summer, subject to your hemisphere, but what is evidently a global and year-round constant is the dependable presence of new leaks around the Switch 2. We've got some good ones this week, and we talk new joy-cons and screen sizes. For those of you who already knew the Switch 2 would have controls and a screen, we also talk Ben's new Raspberry Pi, Adam's thoughts on the Silent Hill 2 remake, and a whole bunch more!

The desolate, toxic wasteland of podcasting is braved once again by three courageous men with only an enormous amount of weaponry to protect them. In the Zone this week are our early thoughts on Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, a potential new PlayStation handheld console and the new train carriage they've made in the meantime, future plans for the Final Fantasy and Witcher series, and a whole bunch more!

The nominations for podcast which contains some discussion about which games are nominated for Game of the Year at the Game Awards are: Filthy Casuals. And probably heaps of others, but us too! We talk about the noms for the big prize, Half-Life 2’s 20th anniversary, plus the recent Warcraft remasters, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remaster, The Rise of the Golden Idol, and more! We’d like to thank the podcast academy for this honour.

It’s been a big year for brothers reuniting after long absences, but the Oasis of video games is back with Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Tommy’s played it, Adam’s played a little Rise of the Golden Idol, Ben’s played a little Metal Slug Tactics, and we’ve all played a little “What’s In The News This Week?” The answer? Things like the launch of the PS5 Pro, Shigeru Miyamoto walking around a theme park by himself, Persona 5’s music being nominated for a Grammy, Ubisoft facing a potential lawsuit over The Crew’s shutdown, and even more.

Tear open your podcast booster pack, because I have a good feeling you’ve got a rare Tommy, a shiny Ben and a hollow Adam inside for this week’s expansion pack to the Filthy Casuals Trading Card Game. Perhaps you could trade them for a Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Chat card, a Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Review card, or a few different news cards like Playdate Season 2 and Halo 2 E3 Demo Release. Or you could just listen to this episode of Filthy Casuals and collect the whole set and more!Patreon - every new episode ad-free and a world of bonus podcastsBandcamp Premium EpisodesYouTube - including live streams and Let's PlaysTwitch Hosted on Acast.

Increasingly more reliable than the changing of the seasons, migratory birds and hibernating mammals now use the release of a new Call of Duty game to track the Earth's orbit around the sun, and we're done with another loop this week with the release of Black Ops 6. We have a talk about that, detective story No Time to Die, city builder Citadelum, a brief chat about Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero as well as looking at a whole bunch of news. Congratulations on being one Call of Duty older everyone, here's to 50 more (six years worth).

Spooky season is here and for this Halloween Tommy, Ben and Adam are dressing up as three video game designers and creating the world's scariest game. Will it be creepy and kooky? You bet. Mysterious and spooky? Absolutely. Altogether ooky? Sure.

Fantasy Is Dead but Podcasting is very much alive this week as the boys hack into the news servers and chat about the Pokemon leaks, Nintendo’s brand spanking new device, Red Dead Redemption on PC and more. PLUS Metaphor ReFantazio is out so we’re unlocking the Reviewer Archetype and giving our first impressions of the first few hours of this massive (J?) RPG.
