SHOWNOTES: The Collateral Media Podcasts join up once again for a video game movie theater review, this time on the recent adaption of the action–adventure game series Uncharted! Starring Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Sully, this flick has been under the scrutiny of series fans since before its release, but does it hold up to the spirit of the games?

SHOWNOTES: Let's-a-go! Okey-dokey! On this episode of Collateral Gaming, Ash and Zach are absolutely stoked to discuss the pilot entry of the Mario & Luigi RPG series: Superstar Saga! Originally released on the GBA in 2003, and later remade for the 3DS in 2017, this spin-off title is a spiritual successor to other Mario RPGs such as Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario. Its comical storytelling and timing-focused turn-based battle system would meet critical acclaim and set the precedent for its sequels. Stay tuned for Part 2 this month!
