This Week on The Level Down Podcast

What do Jonathan Majors, dial-up internet, and billion-dollar gaming deals all have in common? We’re breaking it all down in this week’s episode of The Level Down Podcast.

Chondel and Devin kick things off with a funny debate about how Jonathan Majors somehow looks both old and young at the same time — the ultimate “old young ass man.” From there, we realize we’re officially older than dial-up internet and even Google itself. With AOL finally pulling the plug on dial-up, it’s truly the end of an era for the early internet days.

Then we dive into the week’s biggest gaming stories:

• Brazil bans loot boxes for minors — what does that mean for the future of gaming?

• Electronic Arts (EA) could be bought out in a record-breaking $55 billion private equity deal.

• Microsoft raises the price of Game Pass again — is it still worth it?

Stick around for laughs, strong opinions, and honest conversations about gaming, pop culture, and the weird world we live in.

New games, old classics, and wild hot takes — this week’s episode has it all!

We kick things off by roasting the brand-new Borderlands 4 (don’t worry… we didn’t buy it, but that won’t stop us from talking junk).

Then it’s on to the Nintendo Direct 2025 bombshells:

• A Super Mario Galaxy Movie is officially on the way

• The shocking return of the Virtual Boy — did anyone see this coming?

And to top it off, Mat Piscatella dropped the Top 20 PlayStation & Dreamcast games of all time. You know we had to make our Top 5 lists for both systems — and trust us, this is where the nostalgia kicks in hard.

If you love gaming news, retro throwbacks, and some unfiltered opinions, you’re in the right place.

“Sophie Turner is Lara Croft, Marvel Zombies hits Disney+, LEGO drops a $1,000 Death Star, and we’ve got all the hot takes you need this week!”

This week on the Level Down Podcast, we’ve got one of the wildest entertainment roundups yet.

Amazon has officially revived Tomb Raider, and none other than Sophie Turner is stepping into the role of Lara Croft. Is she the right choice to lead the franchise? We’re breaking it down.

We also revisit Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the 2013 Marvel TV series that lasted seven seasons, and share highlights from Chloe Bennet’s comments at Dragon Con 2025.

The news doesn’t stop there—the new Street Fighter movie cast has been revealed, and we’ve got plenty of thoughts. Plus, LEGO just dropped its most expensive set ever, a $1,000 Death Star, and we ask the question… who’s actually buying this?

On top of that, we dive into the new Marvel Zombies series on Disney+, preview the upcoming 007: First Light video game, and finish things off with some hilarious Will Smith news to close the show.

First up, we dive into the ongoing situation with Roblox and break down what it means for players, developers, and the future of the platform.

In movie news, we give our thoughts on the major reveal that Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool will appear in Avengers: Doomsday and how this could shape the MCU’s future.

Finally, we wrap things up with two big movie reviews — Zach Cregger’s 2025 film Weapons and Rich Lee’s 2025 reimagining of the classic War of the Worlds.
