Paul jumps back into the drivers seat with Furious 7 and the Michael McIntyre stand-up comedy: Showman, before taking it down a gear with the Disney classic: Big Hero 6!

THIS WEEK

Dan finally completes his Star Wars: Rebels quest, just in time for the Mandalorian, season 2. He's not crying, you're crying. He also dives head first into the world of Star Trek, much to the surprise of Star Trek mega fan, Paul Knauer. Paul gets up to date with Netlfix 'How to get away with Murder' and goes back in time (like he does most weeks) with Star Trek V1: The Undiscovered Country, and the classic Marlon Brandon western: One-eyed Jacks.

Our movie review of the week is the 2017 remake of Papillion, staring Charlie Hunnam and Rami Malek. Two fantastic actors who you may already know from Sons of Anarchy or Mr Robot.

Our peak performances are in for Halle Berry and Gary Oldman. And we have the usual collection of highly curated news stories. What more could you want in a weekly podcast.
