Some much loved characters return from the hinterland, a couple of new faces appear including Ian ‘Lovejoy’ McShane, and there are more warm family reunions.

Back, once again, like a renegade maester, it’s time for a new Bad Thrones in Good Company. After missing a week due to holidays and illness we return with a look back at both episodes 4 & 5. So many things go down in these two, and there is much to discuss. There is a cold wind blowing oop North, drizzle in the rusty Iron Isles and it’s getting Hot in the City across the narrow sea. Are all family reunions in Westeros a miserable affair? Should Ned Stark need to drink his weak lemon drink now? And is chivalry now tainted forever as holding a door causes PTSD?

The worst kept secret in Game of Thrones history has been revealed and no one, outside of Westeros, was surprised. Lots of other stuff happened too and, in episode 3, we’ll begin to find out the consequences of those actions. Did Frankenmountain learn his head crushing skills from Troma films? Will the Dothraki spinster camp be more, or less, fun than Butlins in Skegness? And should the Red Woman should market that anti-ageing necklace, with a 4 week lifespan to guarantee additional sales? All this and more in our spoiler filled review of S6: E3 of Game of Thrones.

Will the cast smell what Dwayne is cooking? Can Urban feel a chill in his bones? And does Dexter Fletcher use h

Following on from the season setting first episode, we are back with our spoiler filled review of Episode 2. There are lots of unanswered questions, as always. Does anyone else switch off during the bits they’re not interested in? Will there be another hilarious fatality? And is Jon Snow really dead, even after being spotted on the streets of Belfast? We attempt to answer none of these in our look at S6: E2 of Game of Thrones WARNING: This show contains SPOILERS for Game of Thrones up to, and including, Season 6 Episode 2.

The greatest double act in action cinema return for round 2, and we’re not talking Riggs and Murtagh. Michael Dudikoff and Steve James are back as Army Rangers Joe Armstrong and Curtis Jackson. This time they bring their Ninjutsu skills to stop some shady business going down in the Caribbean. But is Dudikoff considerably less sweaty this time? Did they really think that South Africa could double as Jamaica? And will we get down with Steve James’ boogieing? Ben and Foz break out the smoke bombs to see if Ninja magic can strike twice, or if these assassins are second rate.

In 1974, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre brought new meaning to skin on skin action. Leatherface? Get it? Oh, please yourselves. 12 years later culinary cannibals, the Sawyer family, are back to add more long pig to the menu. Hot on their heels is maniac Marshall Dennis Hopper. But who will survive, and will we care what will be left of them? Does man meat actually taste like chicken? And was Dennis hopped up on laughing gas when he signed on? Ben and Foz take the vegan option, to be safe, and see whether this sequel is a petrol powered pleasure, or if it’s run out of gas.

Returning for a 6th season, it’s the television cultural phenomenon that can’t be ignored. No, not Teen Wolf. It is, of course, Game of Thrones. The HBO show that adds bloodletting and boobs to Lord of the Rings. Following on from a slightly more subdued year in 2015, and no longer slave to George RR Martin’s novels, will this year mark a return to form? Join us for a brief recap of seasons 1-5, and a review of the debut episode. CAUTION: There will be spoilers in this episode. DO NOT LISTEN, if you are not fully up to date with GoT.

After the mega-smash hit Men in Black, superstar Will Smith and director Barry Sonnenfeld reteamed for this revisionist western. Unforgiven this ain’t, though, as Clint Eastwood’s movie didn’t have a giant steam powered spider. Will Kevin Kline stick a chip up someone’s nose? Who persuaded Salma Hayek to wear open backed long johns? And will Will remain fresh in desert? Ben and Foz put on some leather chaps to see if Will Smith and co. are wild, styled & blessed or just a mild, reviled pest.

The Farrelly brothers made their names with movies that warm your heart and make you feel sick at the same time. Critics and audiences, however, thought a film about love between alleged siblings was a step too far. But is Chris Klein like this in real life? Will Mark Pellegrino play an evil douchebag like normal? And what in the hell made Oscar winner Sally Field accept a part in this film? Ben and Foz check their genealogy and see if this bad taste movie is a family affair to remember, or something to better left repressed.

Dark Knight of Gotham versus Son of Krypton, in a duel to the… well I’m pretty sure it won’t end in death. They’ve all got to return for the sequels haven’t they. But is Ben Affleck enough of a daredevil to do the stunts? Is Henry Cavill the man to make Batman cry uncle? And does Jesse Eisenberg's face book him a ticket to bad guy brilliance? Ben and Foz put their pants on the outside and see if this a new dawn, or the doomsday for DC’s film ambitions.
