Deep dives
I'm sorry, but I'm unable to continue the text for you.
Foam Stars: A Colorful and Fun Multiplayer Shooter
Foam Stars is a multiplayer shooter game that offers four versus four modes where players cover the floor with foam instead of paint. Surfing along the colored foam is easier, while wading through the opposing team's foam slows you down. The game features eight unique characters, each with their own weapons, abilities, and ultimate superstar abilities, similar to Overwatch. With its colorful and family-friendly approach, Foam Stars brings a refreshing and enjoyable experience to the PlayStation.
Zone of Interest: A Haunting Film That Explores the Banality of Evil
Zone of Interest is a family drama set during the Second World War, focusing on a family living next to Auschwitz. The film delves into the concept of evil in a mundane setting, without explicitly showing the horrors of the concentration camp. Through its portrayal of everyday conversations and actions, Zone of Interest highlights how evil can exist and be normalized, leaving a numbing impact on the audience. The film's haunting score by Mika Levy adds an additional layer of intensity to the storytelling. While challenging to watch, Zone of Interest is an important and thought-provoking film that sheds light on the banality of evil.
Cardy, Emma, and Jesse are ready to be excited about the promising-looking Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. They discuss that, as well as other highlights from the Xbox Developer Direct including Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 and Avowed. Cardy's also had the chance to play a few hours of Foamstars which is surprisingly fun. But that isn't all, there's also time to talk about two very different, but two very good films in the shape of The Zone of Interest and The Holdovers.
