Got around to starting 'Better call Saul' a few days ago.

Will admit (as with LOTR) I didnt like Breaking Bad, 1st season was excellent and then went downhill, lost interest by the end of the 3rd.

So I was dubious about Better call Saul, but been really proven wrong, its brilliant, writing is really good, they are not rushing anything and giving hints at a deep plot.

It is great but I'm still lost at you not liking Breaking Bad haha

Actually quite excited that I've decided my boy is old enough to be introduced to 'The Lost Boys'. Prob one of my favourite films of all time!

I love that film. I educated Squash (Joshua) with Total Recall on Saturday. Next up The Running Man

In other news. Army of the Dead. What a crap ending.

Love The Running Man

It’s my bag. Love a Dystopian Future. Plus it’s Arnie. Can’t go wrong.

I just know I'm going to be bitterly disappointed by my son's reaction. He doesn't get excited about anything other than Fortnite (although he did love Locke and Key and Stranger Things).

He'll give it a mark out of 10 (prob a 7 or an and look as enthused as if I just told him it was cabbage surprise for dinner.

If he does then make sure it’s a bowl of boiled cabbage for dinner. My mum used to make boiled bacon and cabbage once a week. I still have nitemares

Anyone remember the guy who tried to pay for something with a picture of a spider. Cracks me up. Had his books on my Amazon wishlist for ages.

Audible have a £3 sale on with a few football related books in there. Has anyone read any of the Secret Footballer books, if so are they any good?

@john-folan I can’t wait to see it!

Just been to see Mortal Kombat with the teenager. Love my Cineworld Unlimited card. Great film, no plot whatsoever and loads of gratuitous violence. Proper 1980’s KungFu. Loved it.

FINISH HIM

@john-folan I mean it is a bit scary, are you a snapshot of what I will become?

Ducks is one of those things you soooo shouldn't like but I think its hilarious great addition to the movies!

@john-folan I feel that with the Star Wars and marvel ones too.

I actually felt the Star Wars ones were like right we promised them we know they aren't great lets get them out the way then we shall focus on the others with less pressure - as I liked Solo. They got Mando right too, I am liking the bad batch as well to be fair.

Marvel is so good, how they are linking it together, bringing in series and setting them up for the films like Wanda etc...

The mighty ducks thing is brilliant as well!

Sounds like we are on the same page. Not watched mighty ducks yet. Will have a go

@john-folan I really struggled with it, it had some cracking bits in but then it was a bit rushed in parts as well, found some bits it was made out to be a really tough ask that turned out to be a bit of a let down.

The first was amazing, I did like the characters back though!

I see what you mean. I’m half way through and that seems to be a trend.

It feels like there was no real plan for a follow up. He kind of did it because he had to. Forced. Like the new Star Wars Trilogy. No plan at all. Unlike the Marvel Universe where there are obvious plans and it works. On that note I have to say I’m looking forward to the new The Marvels film. Monica Rambeau was leading the Avengers when I first started collecting and she was a great character. Despite all the online hate Brie Larson is a brilliant Captain Marvel(not sure why she gets so much hate to be honest. Maybe people don’t get her very dry humour). I’m hoping they bring the original Captain Mar-Vell into it(he died of cancer in the comics. Really powerful graphic novel if you can find it anywhere) and Ms Marvel if she is anything like the version in the Avengers game will be a great addition.

Pumped for the Loki tv series as well.
