Ben & Rob smash their way through episode two of their series covering every MCU Phase One movie ever, and do battle with 2008’s ‘The Incredible Hulk’. Starring Ed Norton, Liv Tyler, William Hurt and Tim Roth Marvel has this movie in the wings should their first cinematic experiment, ‘Iron Man’, not become the international blockbuster it was always destined to be. Despite a cast that cost more than the co-hosts' entire lives to date, the resulting film was sadly considered just as underwhelming by wider audiences.

But has Marvel’s ugly stepchild matured into a tolerable Christmas dinner guest? Can Liv Tyler summon the strength to speak in anything above a breathy whisper? What could this film have been if Ed Norton’s rewrites and far lengthier runtime made it to the final cut? And perhaps most importantly, can Ben make it the entire episode without making a HulkJunk joke? CONSUUUME now to find out all of this and much, much more!

Ben & Rob complete their lap of every Neil Blomkamp movie ever with his 2023 film 'Gran Turismo', starring Archie Madekwe, David Harbour, Orlando Bloom and Djimon Hounsou. When veteran Playstation gamer Jann Mardenborough wins the chance of a lifetime to compete in professional races, will his lack of real-world experience be an obstacle to him winning the race, the girl, and the love of two fathers? Or did Sony hope that by bringing together Legolas and the Hellboy no-one wanted they might shift some Playstations?

But most importantly of all, has Neil Blomkamp's got any bankable reputation left after the hellishly awful ordeal of Demonic was unleashed on audiences? Perhaps Gran Turismo is the final nail in the coffin of a once promising director who gave us the sci-fi perfection of District Nine. Or maybe, just maybe, its the roaring comeback we know this director deserves. CONSUUUME to find out all of this and much, much more!

Ben & Rob get the War Machine turning as they review Marvel’s 2010 blockbuster sequel ‘Iron Man 2’, starring Robert Downey Jr, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke and Samuel L. Jackson. Famous for being the film that made Jon Favreau leave the MCU and never come back, ‘Iron Man 2’ sees a dying Tony Stark try and reconcile his chequered past with the responsibilities of his superhero lifestyle; as rivals threaten both his business and his hobby, can Tony get himself together enough to save the day one more time?

But why did this film disappoint critically if not commercially? Is Mickey Rourke the hardest working extra in all of the MCU? Is Sam Rockwell the most charmingly chaotic actor working in Hollywood today? And what has Rob done to upset Ben when it comes to Rhodey’s War Machine?!
