Summary
Maddy and Kirk talk about games they're playing, with Maddy trying out Sayonara Wild Hearts and Kirk still diving into the interlocking brain systems that Disco Elysium gives its protagonist. After that, we bring on Kotaku staff editor Natalie Degraffinried (24:05) to talk about Ring Fit Adventure, which is Nintendo's latest attempt to make an exercise video game. We also look back on Wii Fit, Dance Dance Revolution, and more. We close with off-topic talk (54:52) about the Charlie's Angels movies, as well as Watchmen—the book, the movie, and the show.
Music pick of the week: “American Music” by the Violent Femmes from “Why Do Birds Sing,” 1991

| 1:17.5 | But yes, he will be back soon. Yeah, or at least that's what he told us. Maybe he'll decide |
