Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel

Episode 158: Red Dead Redemption 2 Review

What's sure to be the biggest game of the year is out this week, and Tommy, Ben and Adam have a lengthy, SPOILER FREE talk about it. It's a massive, fascinating and expensive-looking-as-hell game, but it's also got an  idiosyncratic streak that the boys are here to dissect. Also the PlayStation Classic games lineup got announced, but Red Dead is out and come on. Of course the episode was going to be that.

The new Flash Games premium episode is available now over at www.filthycasualspod.bandcamp.com Listen to Adam and Ben's other podcast Arya Talking To Me? - A Game of Thrones Podcast, wherever you find good podcasts. If you'd like to support us on Patreon head to www.patreon.com/filthycasualspod

  • VIDEODRONE #01: A Complete Unknown, Babygirl, Emilia Perez & Severance S02E01

    01:24:20|
    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 while to recap season two of Severance in the back half of every episode. It's been a long three year wait for Ben and Tommy, and mere hours for Gen as she binged season one for the first time after we asked her to do this. What's happening at Lumon after the explosive events at the end of season one? Is anyone telling the truth in this episode?Also, Tommy's seen the Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, Gen and Ben have seen the unfortunate awards contender Emilia Perez and Gen's checked out the not-as-horny-as-you-might-think Babygirl!filthycasuals.com.au
  • Episode 481: Ballionaire, and The Nintendo Switch 2 Pre-Announcement Announcement Spectacular!

    01:11:10|
    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 announcement. But who knows! Definitely not us. Or do we? Listen in to find out, and you'll also hear us gushing about our new game obsession: the Pachinko meets Balatro dopamine-frenzy 'Ballionaire'!filthycasuals.com.au
  • Episode 480: Sonic 3, The Hedgehog

    01:06:37|
    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 there a reference to The Green Lantern (2011) halfway through this movie? If you like hearing a group of elder millennials dissect a movie that was NOT made for them, then this is the episode for you!filthycasuals.com.au
  • 479. Episode 479: The Most Exciting Upcoming Games of 2025

    01:21:55||Ep. 479
    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 can neither remember nor pronounce the title of, there's a new Grand Theft Auto on the horizon, a new Monster Hunter, a new Civilization, a new Switch!!?? And with God as our witness, you'll hear about all of them and plenty, plenty more on this episode of Filthy Casuals!

  • Episode 478: Game of the Year 2024

    03:03:45|
    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 podcast and also has a pretty incredible memory. Speaking of incredible memories, this is Adam and I just wanted to say again here in podcast description format: thank you all so much for listening to me on Filthy Casuals. I'm excited to see the show continue with Tommy and Ben, and I'm sure I will see you all again in the not too distant.

  • Episode 477: The Game Awards 2024

    01:29:58|
    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 Witcher 4, the Okami Sequel, a new Onimusha game, and an actual ton more. This gown is super uncomfortable though so maybe it would have been nice to listen to a podcast recapping all the big announcements rather than coming all the way out to this theatre.
