    S4.0-027 – Wow Forever and Zelda Remake Deep Dive

    We kick things off as the internet's least qualified ocarina experts and somehow land on the Ocarina of Time remake, where we're furious nobody has said 'Hey, listen!' yet. In gaming news, Elder Scrolls 6 reveals a title and nothing else, Final Fantasy 14 asks for 110 hours of cutscenes, Arcane accuses Xbox of sabotage, and GTA 6 racks up pre-orders before launch. We also launch our new comment segment, Tasty Tots, binge WoW Forever for an entire weekend, and get so many facts wrong that 'wabi sabi' becomes our new official motto. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 2:58 Ocarinas versus our pets 4:01 New blog coming soon 4:32 Stellar Blade live-action Switch 2 trailer 7:16 Airline schedulers gift Zelda launch 10:35 Cheap midnight gas prices 11:08 Tasty Tots 17:26 League is good, community toxic 19:13 Movies and Stuff 21:03 One Piece ending by 2030? 22:41 German stand-up special recommendation 24:20 Welcome to Derry and Deadlights 26:48 Influencer movie's awful audio mixing 28:17 Adventure Time Side Quests disappointment 30:51 Tataku 36:57 Cozy high school romance anime 38:53 Gaming News 39:22 Elder Scrolls 6 title reveal 40:49 White House uses Zelda imagery 43:31 God of War delay vs Fable 48:19 Final Fantasy 14's 110 hours of cutscenes 52:35 Arcane accuses Xbox of sabotage 57:03 GTA 6 $751M pre-order revenue 59:42 Folding on the Deadlock take 1:01:33 Control Resident typo and wabi sabi 1:03:50 Saudi PIF eyes Unity engine 1:05:57 WoW Forever breaks player record 1:11:05 Whatcha Playing 1:20:11 Azazel, angels and excommunication 1:21:30 Ocarina of Time remake impressions 1:24:48 Linear Zelda vs Breath of the Wild 1:25:41 Hunting for a real ocarina 1:28:17 Graveyard game rupee struggles 1:30:34 Where is 'Hey, Listen'? 1:31:49 Master Quest DLC data mine 🎧 @CTSpudcast 🌐 spudcast.net 🎵 Music: "Sunset Bridge" by Purely Grey #gamingpodcast #podcast #gaming #zelda #ocarinaoftime #elderscrolls6 #gta6 #worldofwarcraft #wowforever #finalfantasy14 #xbox #nintendoswitch2 #gamingnews #comedypodcast #TheCommonTaters #Spudcast

    S4.0-026 – AI Game Copycats & South Park Previews GTA6

    We get into the worst season finale either of us has seen, where the villain just decides not to do it, plus Crystal Lake, Hellraiser, Welcome to Derry, and why streaming ads are pushing us toward the high seas. In the news, we roast the White House's One Piece AI image, warn you about fake PS5 emulators, call out AI companies suddenly caring about copying, and react to GTA 6 footage showing up on South Park. We wrap with Elder Scrolls 6 leak predictions, our Star Wars Galactic Racer leaderboard flex, and a haunted house that was right next to a Little Caesars. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 1:32 Watching paint dry podcast bit 3:29 Two-host export bug fixed 4:22 Will written in blood 5:23 Derek's Illinois trip recap 5:58 WoW Forever launch plans 8:44 Haunted house next to Little Caesars 12:13 Movies and Stuff 13:35 Nobody Wants This review 14:51 Dax Shepard is huge 16:36 Crystal Lake prequel canon debate 19:47 Hellraiser falls flat 22:37 Hulu ads getting unbearable 24:22 Ali G and Sacha Baron Cohen 26:31 American Horror Story finale disaster 28:19 Welcome to Derry check-in 29:00 Haunted Hotel on Netflix 29:28 Poseidon 2006 movie night 30:59 Tataku 31:31 White House One Piece AI image 34:36 One Piece time skip debate 35:43 Gaming News 35:53 Fake PS5 emulator malware 39:01 Liberty Mutual and Quiznos ads 41:44 Halloween costumes and Hazbin Hotel 45:31 Switch 2 emulator runs Mario Kart 45:50 AI companies restrict copying 48:05 Steam AI disclosure tags surge 50:50 GTA 6 footage on South Park 53:34 Elder Scrolls 6 reveal leak 55:16 Division 2 Echoes of Central Park 56:46 Whatcha Playing 57:40 Star Wars Galactic Racer time trials 1:03:27 Deadlock ranked after 120 hours 1:05:20 Plugs and sign-off 🎧 @CTSpudcast 🌐 spudcast.net 🎵 Music: "Sunset Bridge" by Purely Grey #gamingpodcast #podcast #gaminghumor #gta6 #southpark #onepiece #americanhorrorstory #elderscrolls6 #fridaythe13th #hellraiser #aiingaming #wowforever #comedypodcast #gamingnews #TheCommonTaters #Spudcast

    S4.0-024 – A Shrek 2 Remaster, Epics’ Vibe Coding Failure, and the Definition of a Platformer

    We accidentally open as a clown podcast, debating clown horns, whether a mime counts as a clown and why jesters were basically royal stand-up comics, before we dig into the new Carrie series, Welcome to Derry, Steins;Gate and Shangri-La Frontier. On the gaming side, we argue about Call of Duty's early campaign, the rumored PS6 price, Xbox suddenly wanting new IP, Epic vibe coding its storefront and the Xbox Nano controller somehow fitting every pocket. The highlight is a full courtroom-style takedown proving Banjo-Kazooie and Mario Odyssey are the same game, plus a bell-curve lecture on why platformers supposedly don't sell. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 2:28 Favorite clowns and Bozo story 3:29 Is a mime a clown 4:03 Jesters versus clowns 5:15 The Bologna 8:09 Fantastic Mr. Fox and Wes Anderson 10:42 Golf hole in one 11:37 Jack-O-Lantern World visit 13:31 Derek's promotion paycheck 14:43 Movies and Stuff 14:55 Helluva Boss new season 16:54 Uncle Stav stand-up special 18:56 Daniel Sloss recommendation 21:21 Welcome to Derry first impressions 23:38 Carrie series spoiler discussion 28:43 Adult actors playing teenagers 32:07 Tataku 32:58 Dragon Ball Super remake 35:29 Shangri-La Frontier dub accents 38:37 Gaming News 41:59 Call of Duty Vault Edition 45:14 Power to the Players Act 47:44 Reading negative comments 51:17 PS6 price leak 54:16 Xbox needs new IP 55:40 Are platformers dead 58:24 Banjo-Kazooie versus Mario Odyssey 1:08:53 Shrek 2 game remaster leak 1:11:18 Epic vibe coding its storefront 1:14:37 Why everyone loves Steam 1:17:56 Steam achievement sets 1:19:36 Can you inherit Steam games 1:22:07 Xbox Nano controller 1:25:58 Indian buffet lunch 1:27:06 Zelda Switch 2 demand 1:30:28 Whatcha Playing 1:33:13 Castlevania Belmont's Curse on Switch 1:39:59 Plugs and Facebook group 🎧 @CTSpudcast 🌐 spudcast.net 🎵 Music: "Sunset Bridge" by Purely Grey #gamingpodcast #gaming #podcast #comedypodcast #gamingnews #videogames #banjokazooie #mariodyssey #callofduty #ps6 #xbox #steam #epicgames #carrie #stephenking #TheCommonTaters #Spudcast

    S4.0-023 – Mothman Vs Sasquatch, Brutal Isekai, and the Return of CyberLeek

    We're joined again by Jason Koberstein to settle Mothman vs Sasquatch, relive a disc golf standoff with a very chill garden snake, and figure out why Art the Clown's victims keep walking into the same warehouse. Then we tear into GameStop's $1,400 PS5 Pro, Epic's AI-only Disney shooter, the first all-AI movie trailer, and a full-blown argument over whether AI art counts as art. We wrap with Red Dead Redemption 2's baffling controls, Satisfactory's new underground DLC, and why Alec's dead save file means he will never play Red Dead again. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 0:47 Jason's impression on the soundboard 1:35 Mothman vs Sasquatch 3:37 Our short that YouTube buried 7:14 Alec's disc golf snake standoff 11:11 Spirit Halloween vs local costume shops 12:56 Art the Clown and Terrifier lore 18:49 Derek's promotion and medium-form content 20:45 Movies and Stuff 21:12 Over the Garden Wall annual rewatch 23:44 Running out of horror movies 25:16 Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel 27:22 The Backrooms movie 29:01 SCP Foundation rabbit hole 32:00 Trick 'r Treat review 33:54 The Shining book vs movie 35:56 Weapons review 38:02 Nic Cage quits Spider-Noir over AI 38:52 Tataku 39:08 Mushoku Tensei frustrations 44:34 Re:Zero's endless suffering 49:29 Dragon Ball Super: Beerus remake 50:38 Black Clover love 52:06 Dub vs sub Goku 54:07 Gaming News 55:27 US console market hits record low 56:06 Open PlayStation and decompiling GTA 6 59:51 Epic's AI-only Disney shooter 1:01:52 First all-AI theatrical movie trailer 1:05:04 Is AI art actually art? 1:08:48 Separating art from the artist 1:13:34 Bitty Blas meme takeover 1:15:33 Marvel Tokon year one DLC 1:17:51 Cyberleak's GTA 6 meme coin 1:21:57 Xbox expands into movies and parks 1:24:00 Halo series and Crash live-action 1:28:04 Whatcha Playing 1:33:28 Satisfactory underground DLC 1:37:33 TFT and Deadlock character voting 1:40:48 Control and Alan Wake 2 1:46:31 Plugs and sign-off 🎧 @CTSpudcast 🌐 spudcast.net 🎵 Music: "Sunset Bridge" by Purely Grey #gamingpodcast #podcast #gaming #comedy #gamingnews #PS5Pro #GTA6 #AIart #RDR2 #Terrifier #ReZero #Satisfactory #Xbox #anime #TheCommonTaters #Spudcast

    S4.0-022 – Pilots Are Meowing and Halo Gets a Call of Duty Skin

    In this episode of The Commentators, we dive into the bizarre world of commercial pilots meowing over emergency radio frequencies and why it's actually happening. We also roast the rumored Halo reboot by Sledgehammer Games, breakdown Sony Japan's new 60-hour requirement to buy a PS5 Pro, and pitch a gritty black-and-white noir Kirby game voiced by Nicolas Cage.
