Are you ready for some (fantasy) football?  We've gone from 8 to 12 teams this year and invited them to draft live with us on the air.  We've got your BFE favourites - Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia alongside Amanda from "The Sip List", Shawn from "Cheap Seat Reviews" and our defending champion Alex from "Main St. Finance"

It's a peak behind the curtain as you catch the BFE group just kicking it as we pretend we know what we're doing with Fantasy Football.  Ethan is also along for the ride as we provide commentary on the picks by the teams drafting over distance - Ed from 'The Film Effect Podcast', 'Dude Loft Mountain', 'The F'n Nerds' and 'Defining Disney'

FIRST 24:15 are a spoiler-free review with our See It/Skip It verdict

AFTER 24:15 it's a full spoiler review

Let's be honest, The Suicide Squad is James Gunn's middle finger to the Walt Disney Corporation.  Ian and Liam are here to run through their first feelings on the kinda sequel, kinda reboot that is The Suicide Squad.  Was Idris Elba better than Will Smith?  How good was John Cena?  Does James Gunn start to get predictable? If this loses its shirt at the box office, will WB order a 3rd? Is Harley Quinn's characterisation comparable to Birds of Prey?  What's the only sequel to this film we'd want to see? We answer all these questions and more in our "See It or Skip It" review of The Suicide Squad and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.

FIRST 27:30 are a spoiler-free review with our See It/Skip It verdict

Three members of the BFE went to see Shang-Chi (that all rhymed) - 1 was excited, 1 was pessimistic, and 1 was ambivalent.  How did we come out though? Georgia, Liam and Ian are here to run through their first feelings on Marvel's first film to feature an overwhelmingly Asian cast in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. How did all that kung fu measure up when put inside a Marvel movie? How did this compare to another family-based Marvel film in Black Widow? Was the villain a step too far in believability? Which Marvel cameos were here and how did we feel about them? What is Disney's next marketing tool fresh out of this film? We answer all these questions and more in our "See It or Skip It" review of Shang-Chi and then we tell you whether you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
