This week, Nigel and Tazziii welcome Wireframe Magazine Features Editor Aaron Potter for a first appearance on the podcast! He joins us for a deep dive into the newly released Uncharted movie to discuss Tom Holland’s latest blockbuster role. After a troubled production journey, we finally get to examine this video game adaptation and see how it stacks up to its video game source material. Our storytelling tip looks at the Hero’s refusal of the call.

Other stories we’re enjoying this week: Red Rocket, No More Heroes 3, Always A Witch, Kotaro Lives Alone, Space Force, Kuroko’s Basketball: Last Game, The Silent Sea.
