Joe's got all the behind-the-scenes deets (and slightly contrarian opinions) on Cyberpunk 2077, Dale and Simon have been on a romantic little Forza holiday to a Bond lair, and we talk our way through the latest Mario Tennis. Also, there's a bit where Joe goes mad because they're putting Neanderthal brain bits into crab robots....

This week Krupa's been playing that new God of War, but to be honest that bit mainly ends up being about the canonical status of what happened in Hollyoaks Afer Dark. If you don't know what that is, it's like naughty Hollyoaks. If you don't know what Hollyoaks is – well, there's no helping you. We've seen a little bit of Infinity War, but can't talk about it, so enjoy that. And enjoy the really, r...

This week we're joined by possibly the nicest man to grace this earth, John Krasinski.

Get in touch:...

Two boys, two films. Krupa and Joe cover Ready Player One and brilliant new horror anthology Ghost Stories before, like all the best horror films, we pull the rug right out from under you. Krupa sat down with Ghost Stories' creators, Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson to talk through adapting their play as a movie, how it uses conjuring to frighten you, and the rise of anthology stories. Enjoy! Learn mor...

We've played games, games, games this week. God of War, A Way Out and Ni No Kuni 2 make up the big hitters, before good old Football Manager comes around again, this time even in quiz form.

Krupa, Skrebels and Cardy discuss our unexpected new lunchtime obsession, the beguiling weirdness of Annihilation, the weirdly beguiling Love, and a discussion of the words in a Swedish folk song.

Who wants a podcast where the hosts predict the big winners of the 2018 Oscars, interview the amazingly funny and talented Joel Edgerton AND talk for far too long about taking over managerial duties at Bayer Leverkusen?

This week we've got Paul Thomas Anderson on the brain after watching two of his films in a week, not to mention a chat about the 10/10 reviewed Celeste, Cardy's newly-named Roverwatch, and the tensest Keyword Countdown all year (probably).

New Year, Old Us. Of course we start by trying to discuss shiny new things like Black Mirror and Bright, but we just can't help ourselves falling into talking about Jonathan Creek, Football Manager and, yes, The Prestige. But we've also got a round-up of the games we caught up on over Christmas, the maddest film of last year, plus there's a recipe for a chicken meal at the very end for some reason...
