The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, might not be a masterpiece of cinema, but if you're looking for a fun, unpretentious action comedy with a decent cast and some enjoyable fight scenes, you could probably do a lot worse.

Its been a week of controversies as the battle for videogames and wargames rages on, spilling over into rumours that Henry Cavill is threatening to quit the Warhammer 40k series on Amazon. And, predictably, Marvel have decided to blame their recent failures on the usual target - men. Join me, Sargon of Akkad, Grummz and Tyrone Magnus as we discuss it all.

Sometimes to really appreciate the scale of a disaster, you need to break it down a little. So it back and enjoy as I examine a key scene from Rebel Moon Part 2 - possibly the dumbest 3 minutes in cinema history.

While it might not have been the all-action extraveganza promised in the trailers, and definitely not one of Guy Ritchie's better films, Ministry was still a decent WW2 adventure movie. But could have been so much more.

Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver, by Zack Snyder, is the most Zack Snyder movie that ever Snydered, and that's not a good thing.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only The Message. Well, it was only a matter of time before they came for Warhammer. Games Workshop's recent decision to alter the lore of their game universe has opened the floodgates, and there will be demands for more. Believe that.

Join MauLer, Nerdrotic, Reaper, Outcasts Creative and yours truly as we review the two big releases this week - Fallout and Civil War. Plus the ongoing battle to keep Warhammer safe from The Message. And the hilarious news that Lucasfilm STILL hasn't made back their purchase price for Disney.

Well, talk about disappointment. I'd hoped Alex Garland's new thriller would have given us a gripping story filled with interesting characters, but instead what we got was a bland, empty collection of scenes with no strong story to tie them together. What a wasted opportunity.

I didn't have high hopes for this one, but I must admit, Amazon surprised me with Fallout - a pretty decent adaptation of the best selling game series.

Going straight from Godzilla Minus One to The New Empire was quite the change of pace, but was it worth it? Is it possible for a big dumb monster movie to be just a little too dumb, or should you just switch your brain off and enjoy? Let's find out.

So I've been thinking about this for a while, and it's time for a change.

It seems the Ghostbusters sludge pipe is now fully open, and its time for the next instalment - Frozen Empire. But how does it stack up against it predecessors? Let's find out.

Another day, another remake of some old classic. And in this case, it's the 1989 action thriller starring Patrick Swayze. And after watching all two hours of it, I just have to ask... why?

It's trailer-tastic this week as we've just had trailers for The Acolyte, House of the Dragon Season 2 and Alien: Romulus. Plus, bad news for the 20 or so Star Wars fans that are left, as George Lucas puts his weight behind Bob Iger in the proxy battle for the Disney board. Join me, MauLer, Ryan Kinel, Robot Head and The Angry Badger as we talk about all of it.

Another day, another crushingly mediocre Star Wars product from Disney Lucasfilm to consume. Let's get this over and take a look at the first trailer for The Acolyte.

There's nothing else for it but to say... Shogun is a superb TV show, and I'd recommend it to anyone into action, drama, historical epics or just good old fashioned adventure. Go watch it now and thank me later.

Awards season is normally the time when Hollywood becomes its most insufferable, opinionated and self-important. And yet this year was surprisingly... normal. No big shocks, no political posturing, no tokenised award winners. Has Hollywood finally learned its lesson? Let's find out.

Its no secret that games companies here in the West have been embracing The Message more and more with each passing year. And it seems at last that gamers have had enough and decided to fight back against it.
