Don't Spoil The Ending

Hello and welcome to Don’t Spoil the Ending - Episode 64

Sam hosts JT and Ste to talk all things films, TV, games and AI.

JT has been using AI to recreate Game of Thrones, but insists he is very much anti AI.

Ste gives us his take on The Odyssey while JT has been to the cinema to watch The End of Oak Street and insists he is definitely anti AI

We cover Spider-Man 2 and the fall out of the Sony physical disc announcement. Sam takes us to Steam Deck Corner to review Minimalist Tower Defence (yes, that’s the name of the game). And JT insists he is anti AI... again.

JT talks us through the latest season of House of the Dragon and Ste also updates us on season 3 of 1670. Did JT say he was anti AI?

To build up for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, the main review this week is Avengers: Age of Ultron. I think JT is anti AI.

Hello and welcome to Don’t Spoil the Ending - Episode 62

Sam hosts JT and Jono to talk all things video games, TV, and films.

Recorded during the heatwave this week there’s certainly some hot takes being thrown around.

We quickly cover the World Cup so far and still manage to crowbar in some Arsenal criticism.

Moving onto games we talk about Mouse: P.I. for Hire and Over The Hill (demo) and discuss the new Steam Machine and pricing around consoles. GTA VI release is drawing closer so we reveal our expectations for the most anticipated game ever.

JT talks about the up coming season of House of the Dragon after the new trailer dropped and Sam reviews the highly rated Widow's Bay on Apple.

Jono and JT review some of the films they’ve seen at the cinema recently including Disclosure Day, Obsession, Backrooms, and Supergirl.

Our main film this episode, picked purely for the pun, is Con Air.

Hello and welcome to Don’t Spoil the Ending - Episode 61

Joe hosts JT and Sam to talk all things games, TV, film, books and TikTok.

This week we dive straight into film reviews as Sam talks about the new Jack Ryan film. Joe recently watched Dune/Dooon for the first time and JT reviews new cinema release, Obsession. We also talk about our feelings on overly revealing film trailers and how we’d improve them.

We go on a slight tangent on culture in the 90/00s compared to now - WWE, Limp Bizkit, MTV, Barclays Premiership and NFL vs erm… TikTok.

Joe serves up his opinion of Dave the Diver and JT updates his review from last show for Atomfall. We touch on the upcoming DOA 6 before Joe tells us about his racing sim/VR setup for Gran Turismo 7.

We have a sudden realisation we’re getting old after a rewatch of Peep Show and JT gives us his take on The Pitt.

Our main review this episode is Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Hello and welcome to Don’t Spoil the Ending - Episode 60 We’re back to a three man pod this week as Sam hosts Ste and JT to talk all things games, TV, film and books.

We start by diving into a Joe Schmo segment and the fight to be CM Punk’s number one fan. JT talks about the new Exit 8 film based on the cult favourite game and our foreign film correspondent reviews The Swedish connection. We dig into the new Lee Cronin's The Mummy film and Sam doesn’t have a fun time watching Greenland 2. Ste and JT take us through their early thoughts on Atomfall, a British based survival game set in an alternative history in the North West of England. JT has a quick review of the Soul Reaver remastered games and Ste updates us on his World of Tanks progress. In recent TV we’ve watched, Sam talks us through season 1 of the critically acclaimed The Pitt. Ste has been enjoying Dorohedoro, an anime series featuring a half man / half lizard as the main character and the new Zach Galifinakis series, This Is a Gardening Show. JT and Sam indulge in some trash TV watching Temptation Island on Nexflix. Sam carries on a reality TV theme living vicariously through Race Across the World.

Our main review this week is A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, or should we say of the Nine Kingdoms…

Welcome to the DSTE Christmas Spectacular!! There’s no Joe or Jono this week so Sam takes over hosting duties and is joined by JT and Ste to talk all things games, TV, and film + books this week. We have a Christmassy catch up before JT’s new section Joe-Schmo Rage Baiting’! We also take a quick look at the new Street Fighter film trailer, the 2026 reboot directed by Kitao Sakurai and starring Noah Centineo as Ken and Andrew Koji as Ryu. Ste gives his obligatory World of Tanks update, the enduring armoured warfare MMO, and talks with JT about playing The Outer Worlds 2. This much-anticipated sci-fi RPG sequel from Obsidian Entertainment just launched this October, taking players to the new star system of Arcadia. JT played the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 game as we discuss the blatant rinse and repeat nature of COD (yet it’s still fun) and the campaign (or lack of) vs. online gameplay. The pod has an in depth discussion around how games are priced and marketed around free game models with season pass/DLC. We then drop into Sam’s Steam Deck Corner, where he’s revisiting Trials Evolution, the 2012 physics-based racer from RedLynx. Next, we open Ste’s Book Club to discuss Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi epic Dune and a Haruki Murakami marathon covering the melancholic Norwegian Wood (1987), the metaphysical Kafka on the Shore (2002), and the dystopian epic 1Q84 (2009). JT sits us down to tell us all about The Chair Company, the new HBO comedy-thriller from Tim Robinson about a man who uncovers a corporate conspiracy after his chair collapses during a presentation. We also test our Duolingo language skills by watching foreign TV shows: Schlag Den Star, the long-running German celebrity competition; Deutschland 83, the stylish 2015 Cold War spy thriller; and One Cut of the Dead, the ingenious 2017 Japanese meta-zombie film by Shin'ichirō Ueda. Sam covers The Beast In Me, the new Netflix psychological thriller starring Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys, and we chat about the massive Netflix vs. Paramount bids for Warner Bros. Discovery, as the streaming giants fight over the future of HBO and the DC Universe. The feature film this week that is unquestionable a Christmas Film - Jingle All The Way, the 1996 holiday classic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger on a desperate quest for a Turbo-Man action figure.
