Look, we could talk about Shenmue, or Succession, or any of the new stuff we’ve been indulging in this week, but Gav’s bang back into Lost and he’s got a bone to pick with a temple.
Plus, why flashbacks are bad film-making, if playing cards other than the Queen are female, and Keyword Countdown.

Many directors like to tackle something completely different for each project, to flex new muscles and show they can take on a wide variety of stories. This maxim has been proven true time and time again, most recently with Irish filmmaker Lenny Abrahamson, who follows up his critically-acclaimed 2015 drama/thriller Room with the moody drama/horror/mystery The Little Stranger, which couldn’t be more different in many ways. While the majority of Room is set in the one-room dungeon where Ma (Brie Larson) and Jack (Jacob Tremblay) are kept, The Little Stranger is largely set in a sprawling gothic mansion that has fallen on hard times, along with the Ayres family who inhabits it.
In many ways, an atmospheric period piece like The Little Stranger is the perfect antidote to the splashy summer movie season, a slow burn drama where there is barely any actual movement among the characters, let alone action. In fact, the biggest beef I have with the movie is that said burn is a touch too slow at times, but the performances and this gripping, mysterious yarn do make up for it.
Casey here, covering for Zach while he’s out! Also turning our weekly Nintendo show into the Super PokeMonster Hunter Ultimate hour. Kidding! Though we do discuss Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate and the Pokemon World Championships, we also cover other games we’re playing including The Messenger, Little Dragon’s Cafe, and so much more. Of course, we had to champion our top Nindies picks from this week’s Nintendo Switch Nindies Summer Showcase, and explain why we’re so afraid of Nintendo’s newest mobile game, Dragalia Lost.
As always, you can watch NVC here on IGN live on Thursdays at 3pm PT. Catch the video and audio 24 hours later on our YouTube channel (subscribe and hit that bell! It gives fairies wings!) or listen to it on your commute in audio format. If you enjoy the show, share it with other Nintendo fans, leave us a comment, and give us a thumbs up or leave us a review! If you prefer audio over video, please subscribe to NVC on iTunes or your podcast service of choice.
