Game & Watch with Aaron & James

To date, no podcast has dared talk about video games, movies, AND TV shows, and--oh, sorry, just one second ... okay, we're being told that there are many such podcasts. Well, this is the first podcast that talks about games, movies, and TV shows that's hosted by two good friends named Aaron and James. Now we're talking. Each week, Aaron and James dive deep into personal favorites, new experiences, and occasionally some crap factories. Either way, they have a great time, and you will too.

    Episode 123: Metroid Prime

    It's finally time. It's finally Prime. This week, Aaron and James tackle the pod's most requested* game. One of the best examples of Nintendo bringing one of its series to 3D and one of the best Gamecube games to boot, this classic has aged exceptionally well. Join your hosts as they explore the beautifully-detailed world of Tallon IV, laud the progression and environmental storytelling, and so much more. James might even go on a rant or two about critics of the scan visor! (*by James)

    Episode 122: The Fugitive

    “Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him!” This week, Aaron, James, and a very special returning guest discuss a bonafide 90s classic! There’s a lot to gush about when it comes to this thriller - from the snappy dialogue and stellar supporting cast to the incomparable duo of Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones at the height of their acting powers. Never seen the movie? Well, shame on you! But take a listen and hear what makes it so special!

    Special Episode: The Game Pitch Challenge 2

    It’s time for another Game Pitch Challenge! (And no, we couldn’t think of a better title!) This week, Aaron and James each pick a game or series the other hasn't played and give their best pitch to the other to give it a shot. James starts things off by explaining how the indie gem Tunic is perfect for Aaron’s action/adventure/puzzle tastes. Then, Aaron leverages James’ love of the Persona series to try and convince him to play Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. Whether you’ve played these games or not, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss!

    Special Episode: One Piece Rankings! Sagas and Straw Hats!

    “SAY YOU WANT TO LIVE!! WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS!” In honor of season two of Netflix’s questionable adaptation of everyone’s favorite pirate crew, this week, Aaron and James do some swashbuckling rankings! How do the various sagas compare to each other? Which nakama are top tier and which are not worthy of a place on this legendary crew? And finally, listen to hear some thoughts on the season 2 premiere! Are we fans? WE ARE!

    Episode 121: Pokémon: The First Movie

    "Pokémon aren't meant to fight. Not like this." In the late 1990s, Pokémania was a genuine cultural force. Schoolyards were abuzz with rumors of how to catch Mew, game shops couldn’t stock booster packs of the trading card game fast enough, and this film would go on to be one of the highest grossing animated films of the decade. Join Aaron, James, and a special returning guest as they ask: Did it live up to the massive hype, and does it hold up all these years later? Enjoy this romp through Generation 1 nostalgia, and wait for the end to hear the boys discuss the 2026 Pokémon Presents! They might even say a word or two about Pikachu's Vacation!

    Episode 120: Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

    "Cor blimey!" Join Aaron and James as they delve into what might be the best, most approachable entry into a legendary series whose contribution to the JRPG genre is unquestionable. What sets this series - and this game in particular - apart from the rest of the JRPG pack? Does the late, great Akira Toriyama’s design work compensate for safe, by-the-book RPG mechanics, story, and gameplay? Or does personality and charm make up for any shortcomings? Listen and find out!

    Episode 119: Final Fantasy VII Remake

    “You owe me a pizza.” This week, Aaron, James, and a returning special guest tackle the first entry in the remake of one of the most beloved video games of all time. This is a game with divisive plot changes, newly-fleshed out characters, a completely revamped and modernized combat system, and oh so much nostalgia. How does the remake fare with each of these things? And how does the game challenge what it means to remake a classic? Listen in and find out!
