This week on NAFC, the gang bounces across movies, games, and geopolitical absurdity like only they can. Mox kicks things off with his thoughts on Zootopia 2, while Izzy and Gibbs have fallen deep into Gloomhaven—cardboard suffering and tactical joy in equal measure.

Izzy also compares Immortals Fenyx Rising to Breath of the Wild, confirming once again that Nintendo’s shadow looms over us all. Gibbs brings a shoutout to Unavowed, the indie gem punching far above its weight.

Then things take a turn into global insanity: Saudi Arabia’s attempt to buy EA (because sure, why not), Iraqi “robots” that turned out to be… actual humans in suits, and an AI minister caught taking bribes—proving once more that dystopia isn’t coming, it’s already checking email.

Finally, they dive into The Scarlet Letter (1995), a movie that took classic literature, tossed it in a wood chipper, and said “close enough.”
