The Dorkiest Podcast

On this episode, Daniel and Mike share their favorite Disney & Pixar Animated films

Daniel’s Other Favorites of the Year:

In our first part of our year-end games discussion, Mike sits down with his wife, Erika, to chat about all of the games that she played this past year. Erika is a self-described backseat gamer and has only recently been dabbling in certain games that catch her eye here and there. We love getting the gaming perspective from people of all skill levels and experiences, so chatting with Erika about these games - some of which are pretty high-profile - from her point of view is quite refreshing!

We’re back tackling the beginning of the Multiverse Saga with the last of the Phase 4 projects - the Disney+ television series! Coming out of the Infinity Saga, the MCU had to find a way to mix it up with new ways to tell their stories and engage the audience. This led to the release of the 8 initial made-for-streaming D+ shows that became required viewing in order to continue enjoying the MCU. How successful was this venture into television? Join us while Daniel and Mike discuss their favorites and least favorites now that they’re both all caught up on the MCU as a whole!

Hello there! In our first Star Wars centric episode, Daniel and Mike rank all of the live-action theatrical films in order from their least favorite to the ones they personally feel are the best in the series! The two of them definitely have some differing opinions on the franchise as a whole these days, but hopefully they can set aside their differences and just have a fun time ranking some nostalgic films together……we hope!

A little over a year after the release of Horizon: Forbidden West, Daniel and Mike share their thoughts on the sequel to one of their favorite games - and subject of a recent Deep Dive episode - Horizon: Forbidden West! How does the sequel compare to their experience playing the first game? And where could the narrative possibly go after all of the revelations and plot-twists of the first game? And the most important question of all, what the heck is going on in this game?!?! Join the guys as they try to make sense of this dense game full of twists and turns!

It’s beginning! After what seems like months of passive aggressive begging, Mike is finally getting what he’s been asking for…someone to discuss the Zack Snyder Superman trilogy with! On this episode, Daniel and Mike discuss the highs and the lows of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel from 2013. Often still debated amongst both superhero fans and movie fans on its validity and whether or not there’s more to it under the surface than meets the eye. Join us on our Deep Dive of Man of Steel - hopefully the first part in our lead up to Zack Snyder’s Justice League!

Here in the middle of the MCU’s Multiverse Saga, Daniel and Mike are almost all caught up in their Definitive Dorky Ranking of the MCU. In this episode, we tackle just the films of Phase 4 and will rank the Disney+ episodic series at a later time. So please join us and listen along as we discuss in real time where the films of Phase 4 sit in the now 30 movie saga!

We here at The Dorkiest LOVE The Last of Us franchise. So now that HBO has successfully adapted one of our favorite gaming franchises into a hit TV series, how do we think it fared overall? How did the cast fare? How did we like the changes that were made? And most importantly, who was this adaptation really made for?

Thanks so much for hanging out with us for yet another Deep Dive episode and we hope you’ll stick around for more Deep Dives and more Dorky topics going forward! We really appreciate you!

This is a bonus episode that was originally intended to be a brief segment! Erika and Mike sit down and have an in-depth (mostly spoiler free) discussion and review on her time playing Hogwarts Legacy over the course of the last few weeks. Erika is a HUGE Wizarding World fan, so getting to hear about the game from her perspective was quite a treat. And she gives some insights on the game to players who might not be overly familiar with the franchise as well.

We hope you enjoy this extra helping of Dorky today! Thanks so much!

We here at The Dorkiest Podcast LOVE the MCU! Why wouldn't we? There's nothing else like it! However, even we are starting to get concerned at both the level of quality of what's been put out post-Avengers: Endgame, as well as the sheer magnitude of upcoming projects coming out in just the next 2 years! So today, Daniel and Mike talk about everything after Phase 3 as well as the break-down of the MCU's most recent Comic-Con panel. Does the updated timeline get us excited for more to come? Or is this becoming a case of quantity over quality. 

Come hang with us while we have our first ever State of the MCUnion!

Unfortunately, sometimes gaming franchises that we love come and go and are never heard from again. But every once in a while, dedicated fanbases are treated to surprising revivals of the games series they once loved. That’s what we’re wishing for in this episode of The Dorkiest! Daniel and Mike are sharing with one another three games that they would like to see brought back to life in one way or another!

Almost like it was meant to be, the recent announcement of the full remake at Summer Game Fest has coincided with Daniel having recently finished his first playthrough of the PlayStation must-have, ‘The Last of Us’.

The game has garnered quite the reputation over the past decade of being a masterclass in video-game storytelling and Mike and Daniel get together to discuss just that. How does the game’s narrative weave through to the gameplay moments and the environmental storytelling? And how are some of the game’s most memorable moments told through the lens of video game medium? Join us as we dissect this incredible interactive experience right on the eve on Naughty Dog announcing the Part I remake as well as the anticipation for the upcoming HBO Max series is still on the rise.

After a brief break so two of the Dorks could get married, Daniel and Mike return to begin the arduous task of creating the Definitive Dorkiest Ranking of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. We start with the six films in Phase 1 and we will continue ranking the rest when the time comes! We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane with us.

Also discussed, quite a bit of games have been played over the past few weeks and we talk about Immortals: Fenix Rising, Far Cry 6, Horizon: Forbidden West, Gone Home, Dragon Quest XI, It Takes Two, Elden Ring, and Dodgeball Academia.

Over the past decade or so, the games industry seems to have strayed away from couch co-op experiences – something that used to be a staple of the living room in years past. On this episode of The Dorkiest, Daniel and Mike discuss why they think that is. From the ease of access of the internet, to the ever-evolving industry trends, and even the rise of internet streamers, it sometimes seems like there isn’t any room these days for games that focus solely on a side-by-side couch co-op experiences and we want to get to the bottom of why that may be.

Zoey and Mike have been playing Pokémon Legends: Arceus over the weekend and have some thoughts on this game that they were fairly sure was going to be a tiny step forward for the franchise. Is it the Pokémon game that we always dreamed we'd get one day? Or is just another iteration on the formula but this time you can move the camera? Find out what we think of it so far in this First Impressions Review of Legends: Arceus!

With Horizon: Forbidden West mere weeks away at the time of this recording, Daniel and Mike take this time to reminisce and have a long-form discussion about the game’s predecessor, Zero Dawn. We talk about the game’s very dense and fascinating backstory and lore, we discuss the game’s take on traversal and combat, and we even discuss some of the ways that we think the sequel can improve on an already really impressive modern classic.

While there are game franchises out there that we love and cherish, one could argue that there is ALWAYS room for improvement. That’s what this episode is about in what is the first in a series we’re calling ‘How To “Fix” Our Favorite Franchises’. Daniel and Mike discuss with one another some of the changes we’d like to see, or some constructive criticisms made to some of our favorite game franchises to help us to love them that much more.

For more than 10 years now, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has left a lasting impact on the gaming industry. Well, believe it or not, in all of those years, Mike actually hasn’t ever played the game! So this week, on this rendition of ‘Ask A Dork’, Mike asks resident Skyrim expert, Daniel, all about the game in an effort to learn more about it and maybe put to rest some of the reservations and lingering criticisms that he might have before he eventually plays it!
