·1 hr 5 min·5 clips

Matilda argues 'The Last of Us' TV series improves the game by adding new characters and making the world feel deeper.

The episode opens with the hosts reflecting on listener reactions to their previous episode's list of the best films of the year, specifically mentioning Rebecca's criticism of Johan's choice of 'Top Gun: Maverick'. They transition into personal life updates, where Sebastian talks about his daughter's new habit of reading in a sack for five minutes, and Matilda discusses her cat's early morning jamming. The conversation shifts to media reviews, starting with a documentary about Flight MH370, which they find overly speculative and lacking in technical depth. They then discuss 'The Last of Us' TV series, praising its expansion of the game's universe and character development, particularly in episode three. Matilda shares her views on other watches, including the Belgian film 'Close' and the alternate history series 'For All Mankind'. The main review centers on 'Marcel the Shell with Shoes On', a stop-motion film they admire for its technical creativity but critique for its voice acting and length. They debate the film's existential themes and charm. The episode wraps up with trailer reactions, including Tommy Wiseau's 'Big Shark' and the Bob Ross-inspired 'Paint', and ends with promotional details and farewells.
