The Weekly Stuff Podcast #451 – God of War: Ragnarok Impressions, plus Best Films Ever Made and Remembering Kevin Conroy

This week saw one of the highest-profile video game releases of the year with Sony’s God of War: Ragnarok for PS4 and PS5, a direct sequel to the outstanding 2018 God of War reboot. We give spoiler-free first impressions on the opening hours of this extremely ambitious game, from the jaw-dropping graphics and presentation to a story that’s immediately rich in character and world-building. Before that, though, Jonathan shares a piece he published over the weekend with his take on what films constitute the ‘greatest’ ever made, and we both remember the great Kevin Conroy after his passing at age 66. The iconic voice of Batman for 30 years in various media, from The Animated Series to the Arkham video games, Conroy is the definitive Batman, and a much-loved figure in the fandom and industry, who will be deeply missed. Time Chart:Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:11:45Greatest Films Ever: 0:11:45 – 0:35:42Remembering Kevin Conroy: 0:35:42 – 0:49:58God of War Ragnarok: 0:49:58 – 1:28:18 Batman TAS Oral History - https://www.vulture.com/article/oral-history-batman-the-animated-series.html  Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!Subscribe to Japanimation Station, our Anime Podcast!Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in Apple Podcasts!Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!
