Come to me, cover me, hold me, together we'll break these chains of loooooove!

Link to the Cast is back again, and we have much to discuss.

*Dave and Mark discuss the excellent Spider-Man Homecoming (light spoiler warning: though we do not reveal any major significant plot details in our review, Dave does let slip the identity of a minor bad guy character that may not have been apparent to people watching this film very closely before release. So skip that part if you wanna stay completely blind) and Dave praises the perhaps even better War for the Planet of the Apes.

*Mark has played a lot of Nier: Automata and had a look at Fire Pro Wrestling World.

*This week's news feels like it's come from a time machine, with scoops on Fallout 4, Tony Hawk, Castlevania and.... Half Life?

*Finally, this week's book club is a game we can scarcely believe took us this long to get to: the game that does Lego better than Lego, it's Minecraft.
