We thought we were going to be doing this weeks episode in a world where a remake of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 & 4 hadn't been announced but we were DEAD WRONG! Tommy's stayed up until 1am to watch the Pokemon Presents which gave us our first look at Pokemon Legends A-Z. How do we feel about the shift into a more modern setting? Who cares, because w…

We've got that post Oscars clarity this week as GEN FRICKER joins us for a brief wrap up of the big night! We've also hit the Vega strip for the razzle dazzle of The Last Showgirl, and we're going deep on the symbolism and theories for The White Lotus S03E03 and losing our minds trying to work out what's going on in Severance S02E07! WHITE LOTUS SP…

Ahoy, landlubbers! Filthy bilge rats Tommy and Ben have been sailing the high seas of the Steam Next Fest, making some WB executives walk the plank after their recent studio closures and also some other pirate metaphor used to connote that they've been playing Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii. It may be a spin-off of the main series but have …

This week, GEN FRICKER joins us once again as we discuss: The Brutalist (Spoiler-Free), MAFS and Airline Hacks (00:01:25 - 00:25:00) The White Lotus Season 3, Episode 2 (00:25:00 - 01:01:00) Severance Season 2, Episode 6 (01:01:00 - ) Two horny episodes of television in two very different ways! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more inform…

Last week we visited a shady figure on the outskirts of town and re-specced ourselves as podcasters and so here we are: two fellas on the mics talking about the forty thousand dollar Switch 2 that's on sale on the dark web, the massive failure of whatever that Funko Pop game was, the Donkey Kong Nike Air Max, and reviews of Obsidian's new fantasy a…

The White Lotus is back this week and so we've gone full recap mode for this episode. It's a new resort, a new locale and a whole new batch of freaky rich people to discuss. What's going on with the Ratliff family? What's The Gogg up to? Will we see Tommy in the background of any shots? Meanwhile, on Severance, we're dealing with the aftermath of t…

There's nothing quite like waking up, making a fresh pot of java and jumping straight onto Youtube in order to watch fifty minutes worth of trailers for WWE and Five Nights At Freddies, and that's exactly what we've done this week. We're breaking down all of the announcements from today's Sony State of Play, including our first look at the new game…

This week we're loaded up on wings and cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon with GEN FRICKER, ready to bring you our extensive Super Bowl coverage! Or at the very least, a bit of chat about Kendrick Lamar's half-time show. We're also reviewing the filme Nickel Boys, the continuing saga of Emilia Perez and the surreal goings-on of Severance season 2, episode 4…

Woolworths? Coles? IGA? Aldi? NO THANKS. At Filthy Casuals, we choose to do all of our grocery shopping at the Costa Rican Super Mario supermarket chain, which this week has had a landmark victory against the famously litigious Big N. We also chat about Dragon Age: The Veilguard not living up to certain expectations, the pressures on smaller studio…

We've managed to tear ourselves away from Cine2Nerdle just long enough this week to wrap up Luca Guadagnino's surreal William S. Burroughs adaptation 'Queer', starring Daniel Craig. GEN FRICKER takes us through the new science fiction horror 'Companion' and we visit the Goat Room in episode three of season two of Severance! filthycasuals.com.au Hos…

Name me a single other podcast that would be brave enough to feature the following topics on the one episode: Bizarre Perth architecture. The Xbox Developer Direct, including a new look at the gameplay for South of Midnight, Doom The Dark Ages and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and an announcement of Ninja Gaiden 4. Reviews of new indie games Keep Dr…

Our good mate GEN FRICKER is back to join us in casting a discerning eye over the 2025 Oscar Nominations, before we all review the spectacular Sean Baker joint Anora, and finally dive deep into the second episode of season 2 of Severance. We're finally reunited with the best character on the show, and once we're done talking all things Ricken we se…

Years and years of speculation, leaks, rumours, blurry photos, forum posts and industry whispers have led to this moment: a two minute video with barely any information in it. Nevertheless, the Switch 2 has finally been revealed and so we've got ANDREW LEVINS on the line to chat about everything we've seen on this new console and the tantalising gl…

Welcome to VIDEODRONE, our new offshoot podcast where each week we're going to be chatting about the new releases in film and TV, as well as recapping the biggest TV shows of the moment, with the same level of jackassery that we bring to video games discourse every week on Filthy Casuals. We're going to be joined by GEN FRICKER for the next little …

The leaks, rumours and speculation were all true: there is a new episode of Filthy Casuals online right now, in which we are talking about the absolute deluge of Nintendo Switch 2 leaks and rumours: from dummy consoles, to software line-ups, to entire motherboards showing up online, it really does feel like we are days away from an official announc…

It's still early enough in the year that it's very quiet on the new games front so we've dragged our little fannies down to the multiplex to check out SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 with special guest BEN RUSSELL! We do a deep dive on every aspect of the film: did an AI write the script? How many hours did Keanu Reeves spend in the voiceover booth? Why is th…

One year is over and now another year has begun. Personally, I've never seen anything like this happen before but I'll do my best to put that out of my head and get stuck into what is sure to become the new craze of 2025: "Podcasting". We're taking a look ahead at the games we'll be playing this year: there's a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima which we …

After a 2024 full of talking about games, it's finally time to talk about the games of 2024. We've all got favourites, and we aren't afraid to share them! Who will earn a coveted spot amongst the Filthy Casuals Games of the Year? There's only two ways to find out: by listening to this podcast, or by asking somebody who has already listened to this …

It's time to frock up, awards season is here. Which of course in the world of video games means you're watching 60 trailers in an expensive dress. And loving it! We talk through all the big announcements from this year's Game Awards, including a bunch of surprises like Elden Ring Nightreign, Naughty Dog's Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophecy, The Wi…

A red line appears on a map, tracking the flight of this podcast from Filthy City to Your-Ears-Ville. On board the plane are three adventurers, out to hunt ancient relics such as Unreal Tournament and the news that Epic are giving some of its series' games away for free now, news that Wallace and/or Gromit may be Pokemon, and reviews of Indiana Jon…

Seasons may be changing into a Christmasy winter or a festive summer, subject to your hemisphere, but what is evidently a global and year-round constant is the dependable presence of new leaks around the Switch 2. We've got some good ones this week, and we talk new joy-cons and screen sizes. For those of you who already knew the Switch 2 would have…

The desolate, toxic wasteland of podcasting is braved once again by three courageous men with only an enormous amount of weaponry to protect them. In the Zone this week are our early thoughts on Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl, a potential new PlayStation handheld console and the new train carriage they've made in the meantime, future plans for the F…

The nominations for podcast which contains some discussion about which games are nominated for Game of the Year at the Game Awards are: Filthy Casuals. And probably heaps of others, but us too! We talk about the noms for the big prize, Half-Life 2’s 20th anniversary, plus the recent Warcraft remasters, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remaster, The Rise of t…

It’s been a big year for brothers reuniting after long absences, but the Oasis of video games is back with Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Tommy’s played it, Adam’s played a little Rise of the Golden Idol, Ben’s played a little Metal Slug Tactics, and we’ve all played a little “What’s In The News This Week?” The answer? Things like the launch of the PS…

Tear open your podcast booster pack, because I have a good feeling you’ve got a rare Tommy, a shiny Ben and a hollow Adam inside for this week’s expansion pack to the Filthy Casuals Trading Card Game. Perhaps you could trade them for a Monster Hunter Wilds Beta Chat card, a Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Review card, or a few different news cards…
