Then they check in on the Fantasy Albums Draft, which Ian is suddenly dominating (21:34).

The Nintendo Switch 2 has sent shockwaves through the gaming community with pre-orders finally going live—and what a wild ride it's been! We break down every aspect of this momentous gaming event, from the surprisingly manageable online queues to the lightning-fast sellouts.Unlike the nightmare scenarios of PS5 and graphics card launches past, Nintendo seems to have learned valuable lessons. While still chaotic, the implementation of virtual queuing systems and staggered release windows created what we're calling "five times easier than the PS5 launch and 50 times easier than any 50-series cards launch." We share our personal triumphs in securing our consoles and analyze how each major retailer handled the unprecedented demand.The episode dives deep into what's coming for Switch 2 owners at launch, with particular attention to the impressive technical capabilities being showcased by games like Cyberpunk 2077. Using NVIDIA's DLSS technology, the Switch 2 demonstrates significant horsepower that opens exciting possibilities for third-party support. However, we raise concerns about the growing trend of physical releases containing merely download codes rather than actual game cartridges.While celebrating Nintendo's hardware achievements, we spotlight Clear Obscure: Expedition 33, the surprise hit that's sold 500,000 copies in its first day while maintaining a stellar 92 Metacritic score.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 just embarrassed all of AAA gaming with incredible sales and the highest Metacritic score of all time -- OF ALL TIME -- for a video game.

Min 5: THUMBERBOLTS: Marvel encuentra pandilla random para remontar Después de años salvando (y a veces arruinando) el mundo, el Universo Marvel pone el foco en los que siempre quedaron al margen: los antihéroes, los que cargan con cicatrices, errores y secretos. Thunderbolts reúne a un grupo de personajes rotos —Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Red Guardian (David Harbour), Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) y U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell)— Todos son reclutados por la directora de la CIA, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), para llevar a cabo misiones encubiertas. Sin embargo, pronto descubren que han sido manipulados y se ven obligados a unirse para enfrentar una amenaza mayor. La crítica ha recibido el golpe de efecto de Marvel de buen grado y ha destacado su enfoque más cercano y emocional en comparación con entregas anteriores del UCM. En Rotten Tomatoes, la película cuenta con un 88% de aprobación, y en Metacritic, una puntuación de 68 sobre 100, indicando críticas favorables. Thumberbolts sale del Filtro Luchini con un meritorio notable. NOTA EDC: 3 estrellas MIN 18: LA BUENA LETRA: Masterclass de Loreto Mauleón La directora Celia Rico Clavellino lleva al cine la aclamada novela de Rafael Chirbes y con una más que buena aceptación por parte de la crítica. La película se centra en Ana (interpretada por Loreto Mauleón), una mujer que sobrevive con esfuerzo en un entorno marcado por la carencia, el silencio y la represión. La narrativa también explora las secuelas psicológicas de la guerra a través de Tomás y Antonio (Roger Casamajor y Enric Auquer), hermanos cuyo intento de reconstruirse tras la derrota revela profundas heridas y contradicciones. Para nuestros críticos se convierte sin duda en la película de la semana y en una de las cintas españolas del año. NOTA EDC: 4 estrellas Min 27: BIENVENIDO A LA MONTAÑA: La fórmula infalible Comedia italiana dirigida por Riccardo Milani, protagonizada por Antonio Albanese y Virginia Raffaele y que llega a España tras arrasar en la taquilla italiana. Un veterano profesor romano, logra que lo trasladen a una pequeña escuela rural en el Parque Nacional de los Abruzos. Gracias a la subdirectora Agnese y a sus nuevos alumnos, se integra rápidamente en la comunidad. Sin embargo, cuando todo parece ir bien, se anuncia el cierre inminente de la escuela por falta de inscripciones. Michele y sus compañeros emprenden una carrera contrarreloj para evitar el cierre y mantener viva la escuela. NOTA EDC: 3 estrellas Min 29: RITOS OCULTOS: Folk Horror con sello british Ritos ocultos ofrece una exploración del terror rural y las creencias ancestrales en una comunidad cerrada. Aunque presenta una ambientación lograda y actuaciones destacadas, su narrativa convencional puede no satisfacer a quienes buscan una propuesta más innovadora dentro del género. NOTA EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 34: L'histoire de Souleymane L'histoire de Souleymane, dirigida por Boris Lojkine, es una película francesa de 2024 que ofrece una mirada intensa y realista sobre la vida de los inmigrantes en Francia. La historia sigue a Souleymane, un joven guineano sin papeles que trabaja como repartidor en bicicleta por las calles de París mientras se prepara para su entrevista de solicitud de asilo. Durante dos días, la película muestra su lucha por memorizar una historia ficticia que le permita obtener la residencia legal, reflejando las dificultades y la precariedad que enfrentan muchos inmigrantes en situaciones similares. NOTA EDC: 4 estrellas MIN 36: SEPTEMBER SAYS Debut como directora de la actriz franco-griega Ariane Labed, es una inquietante exploración de los lazos fraternales y la identidad femenina, ambientada en la costa irlandesa. Basada en la novela Hermanas de Daisy Johnson, la película narra la historia de July y September, dos adolescentes que, tras un incidente escolar, se refugian con su madre en una casa aislada. Allí, su relación simbiótica y cargada de rituales se ve desafiada por el despertar sexual y la irrupción de traumas familiares. NOTA EDC: 3 estrellas Min 37: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON JUAN SOLO En este nuevo capítulo de “Estamos de Cine” abrimos una línea directa con Guadalajara para hablar con alguien muy especial. Él es periodista, uno de los mejores paladares musicales de nuestro país y una de esas voces que ya forman parte de la familia de Radio Castilla-La Mancha. De hecho, cada sábado toma el testigo de este programa con su espacio "Solo con música". Sí, hablamos de Juan Solo, que hoy nos confiesa qué película ha sido clave en su vida. Y ojo, porque su nombre artístico ya nos da una pista clara Min 39: ESPECIAL BSO EL PAPA EN EL CINE Y en esta semana especial de precónclave, colocaremos el diván de las bandas sonoras en el corazón del Vaticano. Si te digo que Ángel Luque nos trae una selección de bandas sonoras vinculadas a la figura dle Papa en el Cine, seguro que te vienen varios títulos obligatorios: desde la propia Cónclave, hasta Las sandalias del pescador, pasando por los Dos Papas o el Tormento y el Éxtasis.

Few genres of game have been through the wringer of public opinion quite so much as the humble Japanese RPG, or JRPG, if you prefer. It wasn't that long ago when a game could expect to lose a fair chunk of Metacritic score if it featured turn-based combat or - horror of horrors - had an anime aesthetic.

Developed by LocalThunk and released in early 2024, Balatro blends classic card game mechanics with deck-breaking combos, jokers with wild effects, and a vibe that's one part casino fever dream, one part endless strategy loop.At the time of this recording, Balatro holds a Metacritic score of 90, and according to HowLongToBeat, you can complete the game in 7 hours—but good luck stopping. This game sinks its teeth in fast and doesn't let go.Both Alex and Luke played on their Steam Decks, chasing multipliers, unlocking jokers, and debating the most degenerate combos they could get away with.

Alex and Luke Talk Elden Ring.In this episode, Alex and Luke finally tackle Elden Ring, FromSoftware's 2022 open-world epic that took the gaming world by storm. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, with worldbuilding contributions from George R.R. Martin, Elden Ring expands the Soulsborne formula into a sprawling, unforgiving landscape—the Lands Between—where death is certain, but victory is oh so sweet. At the time of this recording, Elden Ring holds a Metacritic score of 96, solidifying its place as one of the highest-rated games of all time. According to HowLongToBeat, a standard playthrough takes around 60 hours (a complete and utter lie), while completionists can expect well over 134+ hours of brutal bosses, deep lore, and relentless challenge. Both Alex and Luke played on Xbox Series X, comparing notes on their builds, the moments that broke them, and the bosses that left them questioning their life choices. From first steps into Limgrave to taking down some of Elden Ring's most infamous enemies, they share their highs, lows, and what makes this game such a landmark title. This episode is unofficially brought to you in part by Banging with the Bros. Send us a Text Message!
