See It Or Skip It? - Uncharted (feat. BFF of the BFE: Juleen)

FIRST 34:45 are a spoiler-free review with our See It/Skip It verdict

AFTER 34:45 it's a full spoiler review

This week we're bringing you a review of a film brought to you by Papa John's in Playstation Studios' Uncharted and we've got Juleen from It Goes Down in the PM joining Ian as we make our way through the following questions: Do we want a faithful adaptation of the video game or does the film need big stars to bring in the casuals? What's the deal with putting cheese in your coffee? Did Magellan's sailors stop and help build Barcelona from the ground up? As much as we enjoy National Treasure, was this what we really wanted from this film? We answer all these questions and more in our "See It or Skip It" review of Uncharted and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
