It’s a special birthday episode of JK! Games! and the perfect excuse to revisit Arcane — one of the best video game adaptations ever made.
Kayla and Jerica return to Arcane with fresh eyes, while Josh watches the series for the first time just for this episode. Instead of a full plot recap, we focus on how Arcane holds up years later, how it lands for someone new, and why it still sets the bar for video game adaptations.
We talk characters, themes, animation, emotional impact, and whether Arcane works even if you’ve never touched League of Legends.
