Welcome to episode 208 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast where our big Nintendo Direct day continues. We go deep into this Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase and try to make sense of a truly underwhelming Nintendo Direct. What happened here and is Nintendo feeling any kind of pressure? Also in this episode, we have more comments from Nintendo president Mr. Furukawa on the state of the company that we react to. We're also playing two incredible games we want to tell you about.

Today, we want to talk about this interesting thing we noticed where Nintendo has a lot of high end stuff that they want you to buy, it's all very expensive and guess what? It's not even a video game or a Switch 2! What's going on? Does this mean Nintendo is focusing less on games and more and the stuff? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we have a monster news section where we talk about another Nintendo legend who secretly retired, the new Splatoon update, the recent NSO leak, games coming to the Virtual Boy and so much more! We're playing some new games and we have some great questions from our Patreon community including a juicy one on what Mr. Iwata and Reggie were like when they were really mad.

Are you wondering whether Wonder Man is worth your time? In this episode, we break down Marvel's latest Disney+ series, give you the essential background on the character, and explain what you actually need to know before diving in. From Simon Williams' comic book origins to his surprising connections with Vision, Scarlet Witch, and the Avengers, we cover the fun facts, controversies, and powers that shaped Wonder Man long before his MCU debut. We also dig into how Wonder Man fits into the MCU under the Marvel Spotlight banner—designed to be more grounded, character-driven, and accessible without deep MCU homework. Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as a struggling actor hiding dangerous superpowers, and Ben Kingsley returning as Trevor Slattery, the series leans hard into Hollywood satire, mentorship, and the bizarre "Doorman Clause" that bans super-powered people from acting. Our reactions are… mixed. While the show shines as a personal story about ambition, insecurity, and creative survival—anchored by a standout performance from Ben Kingsley—it struggles with tone, realism, and the weight of its MCU identity. We talk about what works, what doesn't, and whether Wonder Man feels like a forgotten experiment or a meaningful setup for something bigger down the road. Watch the YouTube version here for the best experience. Listen to the podcast episode here: Written WONDER MAN Review Wonder Man is the 19th television series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (including both live-action and animated projects) and arrives as part of Phase 6. The series was created by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and Andrew Guest (Hawkeye, Community, Brooklyn Nine-Nine). Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, crossing superhero franchises after playing Black Manta in DC's Aquaman films, stars as Simon Williams, a struggling actor auditioning for the lead in a remake of Wonder Man, a low-budget 1980s action film that Simon once bonded over with his father. Simon carries a dangerous secret: he has explosive superpowers that he can't fully control. Worse, he must keep those powers hidden if he wants any chance at an acting career thanks to the Doorman Clause, a rule that bars super-powered individuals from working as actors. One episode dives into the origins of this clause, and it's easily among the series' most entertaining and imaginative chapters. Ben Kingsley returns as Trevor Slattery, the infamous actor hired to portray the Mandarin in Iron Man 3. Since then, the character has appeared in the Marvel short All Hail the King and film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Here, Trevor is once again chasing relevance—and is also auditioning for a role in the Wonder Man remake. Interestingly, the series never clearly states where it fits into the MCU timeline. There are only light references—photos on walls, casual mentions of "shield throwing." Frankly, that restraint is welcome. It's firmly set in the present day on the main MCU Earth, and that's more than enough. Had this been set on another timeline or Earth, this review probably wouldn't exist. Character Over Capes At its core, this is a strong, personal story about two people supporting each other in a brutal industry. Simon approaches acting with intense seriousness—reminiscent of Dustin Hoffman's character in Tootsie—while Trevor, as a mentor figure, pushes him to loosen up and trust the words on the page. Wonder Man is far more interested in the relationship between Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery than in building a new costumed icon. Through their conversations, the series thoughtfully explores what it actually means to be an actor. Abdul-Mateen II and Kingsley make for an engaging, surprisingly balanced duo. The show wisely avoids leaning into easy odd-couple clichés, which elevates their dynamic. If you enjoyed the behind-the-scenes look at show business in The Studio or Hacks, there's a lot here to like. Wonder Man ups the stakes by adding uncontrollable superpowers into an already stressful industry where almost nothing goes your way. Tone & Reality Gaps Tonally, Wonder Man struggles. It can't always decide whether it wants to be serious and emotional or silly and farcical. It oscillates between the two. The dialogue is often grounded and well-written, but the situations frequently feel forced—bent to serve the script rather than emerging naturally from reality. Living in Los Angeles, where the series is set, makes some of these moments especially hard to ignore. Being under a tight deadline to submit an audition tape and deciding to drive from Hollywood to Malibu and back—congratulations, you've just wasted three hours. These issues extend to the on-set scenes. Having worked in the film industry, many of these moments rang false. A day player wouldn't halt production because they have extensive notes. There are numerous story hiccups where disbelief must be suspended simply to keep the plot moving. A test audience likely would have flagged many of these. Performances & Standout Moments Any time Ben Kingsley is on screen, he's impossible not to root for. Simon, by contrast, is difficult to like until the final two episodes. That's clearly intentional—he's closed off and emotionally blocked—but watching someone repeatedly sabotage themselves is frustrating, even if it's thematically justified. One unquestionable highlight is the episode centered on the Doorman Clause, "Doorman". Josh Gad's appearance, along with his reworked version of "In Summer," is delightful and injects much-needed energy and creativity into the series. Release Strategy & Final Verdict Marvel continues to undermine its TV output with its release strategy. Ironheart dropped its six episodes across two days. Echo released all five at once. Wonder Man follows suit with all eight episodes dropping in a single day. The result? These shows are consumed quickly and forgotten just as fast. By the time Daredevil Season 2 arrives in March, this will likely be one of those "Oh yeah… what happened on Wonder Man again?" series.I went in with an open mind and high expectations—this is Marvel, after all. In the end, I liked Wonder Man, but too much got in the way of loving it. SPONSORS Small World Vacations is an official sponsor of Skywalking Through Neverland.

A King is worthy of adoration, service, obedience, and worship. All Hail, King Jesus!   Key Phrase: “We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”  Matthew 2:2

NB: Man, I so wanted to call this episode All Hail the Nuptial Fuck Chamber but out of respect for Elijah and his family, I gave it a nice title instead. Also, Chris followed up with an additional note: “Looking at (rather than just vaguely recalling) the bit from Catullus 62, the poem is amoebaean (the girls sing in answer to the boys). It opens with the boys claiming that the evening star, Venus, is shining over Olympus, understood as simply meaning that it's in the sky—that is, it is night, time for marriage (and consummation). The girls echo this claim, but they swap out Mount Oeta for Olympus, Oeta being close to Olympus and interchangeable with it. When Housman says that ‘the star from Oeta's steep / calls to bed but not to sleep,' I think he's just echoing this evocative, poeticizing way of saying ‘the ceremony's done, now it's time for fun.' Of course, if it is about MJ [Moses Jackson], the real emotion of the poem is in the speaker's self-abnegation, his giving the groom to the girl who loves him less than he does, his blessing on and defense of (hand on sword) the conjugal jollifications, and his own exclusion from bliss. But I wouldn't take any of the geography too literally! the main point is just that it's night time, and night time is the right time.” SLEERICKETS is a podcast about poetry and other intractable problems.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT REV. KENDRA BALLIET ORGANIST JIM ROSS STONE CARILLON CHOIR - HANDBELLS Prelude (Bells) - Good Christian Friends Rejoice/On This Day Earth Shall Ring - McChesney-Roth Welcome & Announcements *Call to Worship PASTOR: Just as our theme carol asks, “what child is this?” we, too, have come with our questions this day. We go into the world with answers of Good News, being the Body of Christ through our words and deeds. PEOPLE:We Ask, We Answer PASTOR:As we prepare to go into the world, let us ask and answer the question we came with. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one surrounded by sacrificial love. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one who would go on to great sacrifice in the name of love. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This, this is the one “Enthroned by Love” who invites us into more love than we thought was possible. * Opening Hymn – “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” #154 Lighting of the Fourth Advent Candle So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come, peasant, king to own Him. The King of kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone Him. Reader 1: When we hear “let loving hearts enthrone him” in our theme carol, we are encountering the “essence of the message.” Love is at the heart of this beloved story of the birth of Christ. It is love that is the true definition of “kingdom,” of “kinship.” No one exemplifies this more than Joseph’s love for Mary and for the child. Reader 2: He is protector of Love; he is hospitality incarnated. Not only the very life of Jesus was in his hands, but his own character and sacrifice were influential in the way that Jesus went on to live his life and center “love for all” as his message. Reader 1: We light this candle of Love for those who need it most. (Light the three Purple Candles and the Pink Candle.) Reader 2: For all who feel they are on the outskirts of love. Reader 1: For all who know the loss of a love. Reader 2: For all who are rejected because of who they are. Reader 1: Our question for today at the scene of the nativity is this: “How will we make sacrificial love our aim in our time?” Reader 2: What child IS this? This, this, is the babe who was swaddled in love and wraps us all in love forever. This, this is Christ, the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary!

DECEMBER 21, 2025 FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT REV. KENDRA BALLIET ORGANIST JIM ROSS STONE CARILLON CHOIR - HANDBELLS Prelude (Bells) - Good Christian Friends Rejoice/On This Day Earth Shall Ring - McChesney-Roth Welcome & Announcements *Call to Worship PASTOR: Just as our theme carol asks, “what child is this?” we, too, have come with our questions this day. We go into the world with answers of Good News, being the Body of Christ through our words and deeds. PEOPLE:We Ask, We Answer PASTOR:As we prepare to go into the world, let us ask and answer the question we came with. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one surrounded by sacrificial love. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one who would go on to great sacrifice in the name of love. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This, this is the one “Enthroned by Love” who invites us into more love than we thought was possible. * Opening Hymn – “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” #154 Lighting of the Fourth Advent Candle So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come, peasant, king to own Him. The King of kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone Him. Reader 1: When we hear “let loving hearts enthrone him” in our theme carol, we are encountering the “essence of the message.” Love is at the heart of this beloved story of the birth of Christ. It is love that is the true definition of “kingdom,” of “kinship.” No one exemplifies this more than Joseph’s love for Mary and for the child. Reader 2: He is protector of Love; he is hospitality incarnated. Not only the very life of Jesus was in his hands, but his own character and sacrifice were influential in the way that Jesus went on to live his life and center “love for all” as his message. Reader 1: We light this candle of Love for those who need it most. (Light the three Purple Candles and the Pink Candle.) Reader 2: For all who feel they are on the outskirts of love. Reader 1: For all who know the loss of a love. Reader 2: For all who are rejected because of who they are. Reader 1: Our question for today at the scene of the nativity is this: “How will we make sacrificial love our aim in our time?” Reader 2: What child IS this? This, this, is the babe who was swaddled in love and wraps us all in love forever. This, this is Christ, the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary! Opening Prayer Here, at the nativity of your birth, give us the courage to face this moment with a steadfast love that casts out fear. Open us to new understandings of the unfolding story of your presence among us. Show us how to be with and for one another in ways that add to the flourishing of all creation. We pray in the name of the Child, the Love Enthroned in our hearts and lives. Amen. Children’s Chat Scripture- Matthew 1: 18-25 Pastor: The Word of God for the people of God.

Do you remember the half-hour cartoon show called “The Jetsons”? The futuristic 1962 prime-time half-hour cartoon became ABC’s very first color television program shown by the network.  After a one-year run in the evenings, reruns of “The Jetsons” remained on Saturday mornings for decades. The show’s premise involved a space-aged middle-class office worker named George Jetson and his family (including the family dog, Astro) as they dealt with issues of the day (which were remarkably like today’s). One particular episode introduced an extremely smart and sophisticated computerized robot “genius” named UniBlab.  The president of George Jetson’s company president bought UniBlab to improve efficiency and reduce the number of workers (including, of course, George Jetson). Artificial intelligence (AI) is now doing the same thing to many jobs today.  Let’s return to that subject a bit later. All Hail to “King” Kiffin and his SEC Court This week’s college football coaching carousel has one particular man being flown around and treated like a king in both Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Gainesville, Florida. Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin already makes $9 million per year.  His 10-1 Rebels are a virtual lock to play in their first College Football Playoff game in December. The Ole Miss Rebels have this week off as they prepare for a regular season finale against intrastate rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl game a week from Friday in Starkville. Coach Lane Kiffin was already the toast of Oxford, Mississippi.  The school’s athletics director has offered the football coach a very generous contract extension which currently is awaiting Kiffin’s signature – if he wants to remain the football coach at Ole Miss. November is a big season for hunters. Two of the SEC’s “Big Name” hunters are trying to bag a very expensive trophy named Lane Kiffin during this week’s open season on football coaches. LSU (which fired Brian Kelly) and Florida (ditto for Billy Napier) are openly courting Lane Kiffin to leave northern Mississippi and lead their SEC football programs next season. Both schools are expected to dangle upwards of $12 million per season to lure “King” Kiffin away from multitudes of his loyal subjects in Oxford, Mississippi. A fool and his money…??? At what point will major college football programs learn their lesson about signing coaches to long-term multi-million dollar contracts which require the payment of tens of millions of dollars if the deal doesn’t work out? There are plenty of wealthy benefactors at the University of Florida and LSU.  Ole Miss has its share of big money supporters, too. Most every major college football program today has wealthy alumni and fans who will gladly fork-over the money with one string attached. The new coaching hire must bring about the required return on investment made by the big rollers. It’s called, “Our team must make it into the College Football Playoffs and compete for a national championship nearly every year!” But what if it doesn’t? A little over a year ago, Penn State won its first game in the first 12-team College Football Playoffs.  The Nittany Lions clobbered SMU 38-10 in Round 1.  They beat Boise State 31-14 in Round 2.  PSU then lost a squeaker to Notre Dame 27-24 in the national semifinals. By any measure, Penn State had a fantastic season in 2024. Did the team’s success in 2024 help Coach James Franklin keep his job this fall? Penn State fired its 12th year head football coach in October after the Nittany Lions lost three straight games following a 3-0 start.  During his tenure with Penn State, Coach James Franklin’s teams won 70% of their games in what has become known recently as “Unhappy” Valley. James Franklin wasn’t unemployed for very long. Earlier this week, Coach Franklin found a new coaching home as he will lead Virginia Tech’s football program in 2026. Yes, it is true that Coach James Franklin still hasn’t won a national championship. Then again, neither has Virginia Tech. Neither had coach Brian Kelly (Western Michigan, Cincinnati, Notre Dame, and LSU). Ditto for coach Billy Napier (UL-Lafayette and Florida). This week’s rock star head coach (Lane Kiffin) hasn’t come close to winning a national championship, either Lane Kiffin is the well-traveled 50-year old son of legendary NFL defensive guru Monte Kiffin. The younger Kiffin played quarterback at Fresno State.  He quickly became a top college football assistant coach.  Kiffin worked his way up into the offensive coordinator position at the University of Southern California beginning in 2005. In 2007, the NFL’s Oakland Raiders hired 31-year old Lane Kiffin to become the youngest head football coach in franchise history.  After going 4-12 in his first NFL season, Kiffin was fired by Oakland the following season after a 1-3 start. Lane Kiffin returned to college football in 2009 as the head coach at the University of Tennessee.  After posting a 7-6 record during his first season in Knoxville, Lane Kiffin shocked Vol Nation by leaving to take the top job at USC in January, 2010. Coach Kiffin had three seasons of mild success with the Trojans before he was fired in late September, 2013 after losing two straight conference games early in his fourth season at USC.  Ironically, future LSU head coach Ed Orgeron replaced Kiffin as the interim head coach for the USC Trojans for the remainder of that regular season. Coach Nick Saban hired Lane Kiffin to become Alabama’s offensive coordinator a few months later in January, 2014. Kiffin performed well enough to be offered the head coaching job at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton (Fort Lauderdale area) beginning in 2017. The FAU Owls went 11-3, 5-7, and 10-3 before Lane Kiffin was hired by Ole Miss beginning with the 2020 football season. Lane Kiffin is now in his sixth year with the Rebels.  His Ole Miss football teams have produced a 74% winning percentage with four ten-win seasons in six years. Despite that success, Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss Rebels have not played in either the SEC Championship game or the College Football Playoffs. At least not yet. So, why does everyone want Lane Kiffin? This is purely a supply vs. demand problem. There are ten FBS college football teams searching for a new head coach.  The now 50-year old Lane Kiffin has acquired a great deal of experience and (perhaps) a bit of humility in his coaching journeys. Kiffin has also admitted that he is a recovering alcoholic for nearly five years.  He has become closer than ever to his family since taking the job at Ole Miss in 2020. Lane Kiffin is what I would call an “old soul” to be such a relatively young major college football coach.  His ability to recruit top players and assistant coaches for his staff have helped to make him the nation’s biggest coaching “get” on the market. However, Lane Kiffin will become the most hated man in the state of Mississippi for at least the next decade if should accept the top job at either Florida or LSU soon. Which brings us back to The Jetsons Why pay tens of millions of dollars to the next football coach (and an expensive assistant coaching staff) at Florida, LSU, Penn State, etc. if the new coach has such a small chance of succeeding? Remember 2022, Gator Nation?  Fans were giddy about their SEC title possibilities after they hired a former Nick Saban assistant coach named Billy Napier to become Florida’s newest head football coach. Ditto for LSU after they wrangled Coach Brian Kelly away from Notre Dame to coach for the Tigers starting in 2022. How did those deals work out for you? Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) could mean that (let’s say) Grok from Twitter might have a high statistical chance of replicating the success of most major college football coaches in game planning and play-calling. We already know that most major college football teams (especially Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss Rebels) lean heavily on advanced analytics and statistical models to make key decisions – especially on certain “down and distance” play calls. What if a college football team which rarely posts winning seasons (such as the UL-Monroe Warhawks) was to hire a cheaper and smaller group of under-30 coaches and fully utilize AI to find and sign key players, develop weekly game plans, and recommend play calls during the game? The money saved on the team’s coaching staff could be rolled into paying for better players. What would a struggling college football team have to lose by trying such an approach? The continued bidding war for both football coaches and players may put the proverbial nail in the coffin for a number of current FBS programs – even with the increased revenue from television and media deals. Perhaps hiring Coach AI UniBlab to run your favorite team may be coming sooner than you think! The post Ready for an AI College Football Coach yet? appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Today we'll be digging into the actual job of the Nintendo of America president. Ever since the announcement of Doug Bowser's retirement and the new president Devon Pritchard taking the reins at Nintendo, there seems to be some confusion around what the Nintendo of America president actually does and what kind of power this person has. We're here to clear it all up for you and squash some of the rumors flying around. Also in this episode, we're playing a ton of new games on Nintendo Switch 2 and we dig into all the news coming out of Tokyo Game Show. We also try to make sense of this big EA news of them selling and going private. What does this all mean? We wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon community.

The recent announcement of the next Mario movie as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie got us thinking about the next 3D Mario game. Now that Nintendo is starting to truly become an entertainment company, does it make sense that the next 3D Mario game is Super Mario Galaxy 3? We want to study the clues and bread crumbs and see how likely this is. Also in this episode, we go through the rest of the games coming out in 2025 and talk about which ones we're definitely playing and which we'll be skipping. We also have a big new game we've been playing - Hades 2 on Nintendo Switch 2. WOW! Hear our deep impressions of the game so far.

We are still thinking about the big Nintendo Direct last week and we want to dig deeper into people's reaction to the Direct. Tons of games were announced and Nintendo shared a lot of news but somehow, there are fans who still don't seem very excited about what's to come. Why is this? Is the Nintendo Direct formula, something that Nintendo started 10+ years ago, still working to meet Nintendo's goals when there are so many expectations placed on these presentations? We dig into the history and the original goals of a Direct and examine if it's still working for Nintendo. Also in this episode, we're playing a handful of new indie games and we discovered some new details about Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 on Nintendo Switch 2.

Ok, whisky geeks, this is why you subscribe the One Nation Under Whisky Padcost. It's in depth whisky conversation like this. Jason and Ewan go so far down the Clynelish rabbit hole, discussing science, flavor, and even mythology, that as they venture down the rabbit hole they bypass Alice and all the inhabitants of Wonderland. It's wonderful.  If you love Clynelish get ready to understand why you love it so much (and then start to love it even more). All Hail the Duke of Sutherland, Ewan Morgan! ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

Today we're trying to make sense of this doom and gloom surrounding third party games on Nintendo Switch 2. There's been some data shared that these games are not doing well on Switch 2 but does that mean third party games are simply doomed to fail? Also in this episode, we react to the latest update on Nintendo's summer game Drag x Drive and the misinformation around Masahiro Sakurai's latest interview. We're still playing a ton of games on our Switch 2 with some new ones we're really excited about. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon community.
