I watched The Persian Version last night and now I'm in love with Layla Mohammadi.

I missed out on the first two Spyro games but really liked the third. The skateboarding sections were ridiculously fun.

Cosmo Jarvis is great, and for me his performance in Calm With Horses is more impressive than anything Tom Hardy has done (saying that, I'm not a massive Hardy fan). Had no interest in Shogun initially but didn't realise Jarvis was in it, so that's getting added to the list.

My first time seeing Mina Shirakawa and I'm instantly a fan. Seems to have the goods in-ring and as soon as she came out she had a ton of infectious personality. The ROH womens division is pretty great right now actually. Athena, Starkz, Aminata and Shida all doing really good work. And they're even making a go of Hirsh/Ellering and giving Diamante and Kiera Hogan mini-feuds to keep them busy. Good stuff. Red Velvet vs Aminata was a really good match. Aminata seems to get better with each passing week. Oh, and Eddie Kingston saying he has been too nice lately and needs to bring back the nasty Eddie? Yes please!

I know one thing. He's going to be Reigns 'American Nightmare' at Wrestlemania, and there's nothing Reigns can do about it!!

It came to mind watching this main event just how wrong those podcast experts are. The types who say things like 'doing two piledrivers in a match weakens the DDT in another match' and all that shit. Here you had a blood-soaked intense feud-ender which involved a 2x4 filled with nails being driven into another blokes cock and bollocks. Their logic would dictate that the rest of the show would play out to silence as nothing could match those levels of violence, yet people were still going wild for a completely different type of hardcore match in the main event, and were even marking out for Shibata doing a sleeper hold and a kick. It's almost as if those people are chatting absolute shite. Also, Cody Rhodes once beat Sammy Guevara for the TNT title on a Christmas day episode of Rampage, but it was during that hot potato TNT title spell so it's no surprise nobody remembers it.

I woudn't say so. A few months back he seemed like the hottest prospect on the planet and the shine has come off a tiny bit due to Okada, Ospreay etc coming in, but he's still massively over and him winning the title would still be massive. I sound like a broken record at this point but thought that was another great show. Will Ospreay is just on a different level. From the moment he comes bouncing out of the tunnel, he's just got this infectious enthusiasm to everything he does that you can't help but grin at. I love him, but I wish Eddie Kingston would tap into his hardcore brawler mode that we see during Stadium Stampede/hardcore matches a lot more. He's been in All-Japan cosplay mode since the Continental Classic started and I find it infinitely less interesting than mad brawler Eddie.

Sold!

Poor Things - I'm not sure why, I had a suspicion I was going to hate this in a 'mother!'-esque way. Happy to report that I was wrong, I loved it. Emma Stone is terrific and Mark Ruffalo is funny as fuck. Great stuff. Argylle - It's really daft but I had fun with it. A few twists and turns caught me massively by surprise and it was just a good time. Probably a bit too long and wears its welcome out by the end, but nowhere near as bad as I'd heard. Drive-Away Dolls - Somehow simultaneously better than most reviews suggest while also being quite disappointing. Perfect running time and some good jokes (the two enforcers are good comedy value), but I always expect a bit more from a Coen. Werner Herzog: Reluctant Dreamer - A documentary about the career of Herzog... it's perfectly fine but if you know anything about Herzog this won't tell you anything new. Origin - A film about the author Isabel Wilkerson and her writing of the book 'Caste', I think at times it's a bit muddled and doesn't know whether it wants to be a biopic, a family drama or a look at historic caste discrimination. It is undeniably moving though and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor is great. Fast Charlie - Pierce Brosnan in an Elmore Leonard rip-off isn't as good as it sounds. It's shit. (Also, this was my first time using Amazon Prime Video in years and can confirm it's still a dire service compared to Netflix//Disney+.Lightyears behind in terms of UI, video quality etc. Terrible!) I also watched Soul and Fight Club on the big screen. Both are great.

I managed to 100% all 3 games on the N-Sane Trilogy but gave up about 2 hours into Crash 4. It got incredibly hard very early - there wasn't a difficulty curve, more a difficulty mountain. And it just didn't have the 'one more go' factor of the original 3.

I would've assumed so, but a quick scan on Cagematch says they were in an Eight-Way Elimination match together (no memory of that at all!) but never had a one on one match.

I have a lot of random matches that flash into my head as 'that'd be cool to watch'. Just a few I was thinking about recently; Billy Gunn vs RVD (they could easily do this on an episode of Rampage or something) Fit Finlay vs Darby Allin Shibata vs Paul Wight I really want to see this now.
