Despite Zaid's insistence that this is the 45th episode of the Watchlist, it's not. It's the 43rd. So ignore that moron. Be that as it may, this is the super awesome Christmas episode, which we know is late, but you can blame Eskom for that. Today the team talks about the underrated Netflix Original movie, Klaus. Probably one of the best Christmas movies around and 100% worth a watch, even if it's...

This is episode 038 of IGN Africa's 2nd entertainment podcast, where we keep it geek all hour long. This week is all about porn. Kinda. The movie of the week is 'X' a low-budget horror film on Amazon Prime, which we all agree is way better than its publicity would lead you to believe. It's great.

This is episode 032 of IGN Africa's 2nd entertainment podcast, where we keep it geek all hour long. This episode is a disaster. Because firstly, its all about Twilight: New Moon. That's bad enough.

The movie of the week was RRR, a brilliant piece of Indian cinema that Shameez and Shadley didn't watch (insert angry face emoji here).

This is episode 022 of IGN Africa's 2nd entertainment podcast, where we keep it geek all hour long. This week the team talks about Shrek.
