On this episode of the Wait For It Podcast, we offer a fresh and hilarious take on the indie gem "Another Crab's Treasure" by Aggro Crab. Dive into our experiences with this quirky title as Eric's excitement practically bubbles over, highlighting its potential as a gateway for newcomers to the genre, while Phil humorously confronts his skepticism towards Souls-likes. We discuss the game's vibrant undersea setting, creative boss fights, and how it stacks up against genre heavyweight, Elden Ring.

Our journey into Souls-like games continues as we share our tumultuous experience with a particularly challenging title on Game Pass. Prepare for a deep dive into the epic queen boss fight that tested our patience and skills. We chat about the need to be picky with Souls-like titles, the perks of Game Pass, and the importance of supporting small developers. Plus, we explore the game’s intriguing shell mechanics, social commentary, and the rewarding interactions with NPCs that make the in-game world so compelling to explore.

Finally, Eric reveals how this feature has not only enhanced his enjoyment but also allowed him to share the experience with his son. Meanwhile, Phil vents his frustrations with the difficulty and unconventional controls but also praises the lighthearted humor. We wrap up with our thoughts on why this accessible and affordable game is worth trying, especially for those new to the genre.

What if your family could save the world from a robot apocalypse? On this episode of Late To The Party, we unpack the electrifying journey of "The Mitchells vs. The Machines," an animated film that blends humor, heartfelt moments, and stunning visuals. Directed by Mike Rianda, this quirky Netflix gem follows a dysfunctional family who unexpectedly become humanity's last hope. As we reflect on the film's initial hurdles and why it took a while to catch our eye, we share our thoughts on its dynamic animation, compelling storytelling, and standout characters.

Comparing it to animated blockbusters like "Into the Spider-Verse" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," we highlight why "The Mitchells vs. The Machines" holds its own despite not having the same level of groundbreaking narrative. Danny McBride’s voice acting and the rest of the cast are standout elements that elevate the film. We also discuss how the movie's portrayal of modern family dynamics and clever comedy make it a must-watch, even if it doesn't reinvent the wheel in storytelling.

Finally, we delve into how the humor and generational jokes play out, comparing it to films like "A Goofy Movie" and "Age of Ultron." We also pit it against recent animated hits on IMDB's recommended watch list. Wrapping up, we acknowledge its accolades at the Annie Awards and Oscars, reinforcing why this film is a solid recommendation for family viewing.

Letterbox'd Synopsis: A quirky, dysfunctional family’s road trip is upended when they find themselves in the middle of the robot apocalypse and suddenly become humanity’s unlikeliest last hope.
