I don't know how many of you readers remember the 70s. I do, vividly. It was a glorious time full of men in camel hair coats and women who swooned when their boyfriend punched someone. It seems that the ability to engage in a successful bout of fisticuffs is no longer the main requirement when it comes to being an alpha male. Welcome to the modern world, where alpha males don't fight and drink beers. Welcome to my guide to being an alpha male in the modern world.

I'm excited for Avengers: Infinity War, you're excited for it, everyone is excited for it. It's the culmination of almost 10 years worth of of movie making from Marvel Studios, that started way back in 2008. Since then, they've somehow pulled off an almost effortlessly great track record, with genuine gems of cinema like The Avengers, Guardians of The Galaxy, The Winter Solider and Civil War. However, the impending threat of Thanos and the Black Order will only be an impending one for the next 9 months or so. Unlike the arrival of a newborn, this is a 9 month wait that probably won't end in disappointment. But, the question is, can we correctly predict the events of Infinity War and ruin it for ourselves and everyone else? We can damn well try!
It’s fair to say I’m excited for Ready Player One. I hijacked our recent Dunkirk podcast for a minute at the mere mention of Mark Rylance, so giddy was I after the trailer we saw at Comic Con. But my rampant enthusiasm has been met with shrugs thus far, and for a while I couldn’t figure out why. To me, it was genuinely one of the best trailers I’ve ever seen. A perfect blend of teasing, pacing and song choice. But everyone else seemingly just saw another CGI fest, notable only for being directed by God amongst insects Steven Spielberg. Why weren’t people seeing this as the triumph I was?
Then it dawned on me - I was ahead of the game. For once, I’m “the book guy”. Sorry to shatter any illusions you had about me, but unless it’s Harry Potter, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, or literally any wrestling autobiography ever written, I have not read it. But having heard this movie was coming, and that the Lord himself was coming down from Mount Olympus to direct it, I felt the need to check the book out. And I’ll get into my feelings towards it soon, but safe to say, from the second I put it down, I was at maximum hypage. Let me get you where I am.
In this episode of Gotta Cast 'Em All, Mike and Darren take a look back at one year of Pokemon Go and wade through the slurry that was the one year anniversary and Pokemon Go Fest!
In a world full of book adaptations, comic adaptations, anime adaptations and the fucking Emoji Movie, it’s pretty apparent that Hollywood is less and less interested in original works and is all about building franchises from existing properties. Recently, I’ve been thinking about a medium that completely changes when made into film; albums. Now, movies based on album aren’t a foreign concept. Sometimes they’re good, like Tommy and The Wall, sometimes they transcend their material like Straight Outta Compton and sometimes they’re… well, sometimes they’re Through The Never. Either way, it’s a medium rife with possibility. Here are 5 albums that deserve to make the leap to the big screen.
