We react to... MobLand!  | MobLand is an upcoming American crime drama television series created by Ronan Bennett, who is set to write the entire series. The series began as The Donovans, an origin story to the Showtime series Ray Donovan, following the Donovan family, but as it developed further, it was reworked into its own standalone story. (Wikipedia)

WHAT WE'RE WATCHING>

We discuss Captain America and is it a certified flop or not? Is the Red Hulk and all the re-shoots enough to make this movie a success?

 
GAMEFLOW>
This week's announcement of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 no doubt has Ryan all giddy and possibly googley-eyed. But in his absence, Chris and Darren run through the game, what we know and expected drop date.
