Final Fantasy VII Remake, PS5 Controller, Writing LEGO Games

Welcome back to The MinnMax Show! On this week's episode, we share out gut reaction to Sony's reveal of the PlayStation 5 controller called the DualSense and share spoiler-free impressions of Final Fantasy VII Remake. Then we're joined by Griffin Newman (Blank Check podcast, The Tick) and Graham Goring (LEGO City Undercover, LEGO The Force Awakens) to talk about the cultural impact of the LEGO games and the process of writing film parodies within video games. Then we open up the Minnbox and award the iam8bit question of the week!
