After a 7 year wait, Toy Story is back in cinemas for its fifth instalment. We join Jesse, Buzz, Woody and the gang as they tackle the biggest threat to toys yet... Technology.

Scary Movie

Sat, 13 Jun 2026 01:53:35 +0100

It's a bit of different episode this week. A few days ago, we jumped online to record the episode as usual, however there were major audio issues that made it un-usable. However, we didn't want to leave you all for a week, so I share my thoughts on both Scary Movie and Scary Movie 6, plus give you Luis' rating on the Splice Guys scale. Then Liam gives his rundown of all 6 in the franchise, as he goes above and beyond the call of duty.

We'll be back next week as normal for Disclosure Day and Close Encounters of the third kind.
