What We Get Into:
Star Fox being part of the Mario movie feels like Nintendo is slowly building something bigger without rushing into a giant crossover. Frank and Squeaks also talk about why Ocarina of Time could be the exact kind of game that gets more people to finally buy a Switch 2, especially if Nintendo keeps the remake pretty faithful. On the Star Fox side, they both seem to want something that mixes the old arcade style with a little more modern exploration. The Moana trailer gets a better reaction than expected too, mostly because it looks like Disney may actually be sticking closer to what worked in the original. Then the episode really settles into Daredevil, with both of them liking the darker tone, the action, and the way the premiere leans harder into the comic book side of the character. They both end up at an 8 out of 10 on the episode.
Quotes:
“Not everything needs to be MCU.”
“This is that game, in my opinion.”
“Moana has got a chance of being a really good standalone movie.”
“We are getting closer to what it feels like to have a Daredevil comic in your hand.”
“In the end, it’s still just Vincent D’Onofrio versus Charlie Cox.”
