The Marvel Cinematic Universe routinely churns out commercially successful movies that score anywhere from the good to great range critically. However, the latest film, Eternals, has been panned by fans and critics alike. The movie did well in terms of week one ticket sales, but is this a turning point for the MCU? We review Eternals, and discuss this week's episode of The Challenge, the lack of useful information and the substantial amount of leaks for Spider-Man: No Way Home, Vin Diesel's call to action of The Rock, Chris Pratt's ongoing issues and much more.
