“He left us! He left us!”

Is this the best or worst Jurassic World movie yet? Tune in and find out.

Plus, the news that EVERYONE is talking about : The Thomas Crowne Affair remake! That’s right, the classic caper is back and hornier than ever with Michael B Jordan at the helm as director/star. With a stacked cast and juicy script, Ed and Miguel are eager to see this in theaters.

Then Ed explains why all of a sudden they can’t put a “u” in the word faulty as he tells about his new obsession: Fawlty Towers! It’s classic British humor and it’s got Ed WHEEZING!

This week we’re in with not one, not two, but three special episodes and for part two of these specials we’re taking you along into another realm… the realm of Fortnite.

Yes, for some reason we saw the new Lilo and Stitch film, we liked it, and we liked it so much we decided to review it whilst we played Fortnite!

Does this new fuzzy, blue alien stand up to the original? Could this be the best Disney live-action remake so far? It certainly wouldn’t be saying much if it was, but we go there anyway.

It’s a bit of fun, a bit of silliness, a lil ridiculous, but then again, so are all these live-action remakes! Plus who doesn’t like to watch 3 grown men struggle in a video game?

The Last of Us Season 2 has wrapped and so we bring two different type of Last of Us Players to review the HBO Series. One who just finished playing The Last of Us Part 2 and one who has played it multiple times. What did you think of the series?
