Screen Fix - The Movie Podcast Where We Fix A Recent Film

This week JC and the Lady-Wan talk about being weirded out by Star Wars IV ghostly casting, before being visited by the always magical Torpedo! We also ask ...

• Is Rumplestiltskin enough for a movie?
• Is Ryan Reynolds is too old to get stoned?
• How any tissues will it take to get through What They Had?
• Is a Slender Man a gross idea?

Plus, we read a letter from Citizen Cam who shares his thoughts on the MCU!

This week, JC and the Lady-Wan fix Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's latest flick: Skyscraper! It's like a love letter to Die Hard and The Towering Inferno ... written in crayon.

This week, it's all about Comic Con trailers. We talk the good, the bad, and the Aquaman, and spout about:

• Aquaman is drowning in DC waters
• Good DC? Shazam has to be a scam
• Godzilla King of the Monsters ruled our feely places
• Cloverfield's Overlord had us overbored
• Birds of Prey keep Margot Robbie at bay
• Disney pulls the gun on James Gunn

This week, we fix Marvel's Ant-man and the Wasp! Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly share the lead roles this time around and are accompanied by Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, and scene stealing Michael Pena as Luis.

On this week's news episode, we revisit Mustachio's childhood hustle & muscle, plus power through:

• Squishing and shooting in The Favourite
• Slappy - the star of Goosebumps 2
• Life Itself's melodrama
• Lando's return to Star Wars
• Spider-Man: Far From Home casts J.B. Smoove
• Robocop gets yet another reboot
• Cate Shortland directing Black Widow
• And ScarJo backs out of Rub & Tug​

On this week's news episode, we refuse to play with a new Child's Play Chucky, then we have a tantrum about:

• Keri Russell to flex Star Wars muscle
• Idris Elba to throw elbos at Hobbs and Shaw
• Will Captain Marvel carvel its way out of the uncanny valley
• Rub and Tug's Scarjo rubs us the wrong way
• Child's Play vs Teddy Rubskin!

This week, the Screen Fix crew - JC, Mustachio & Lady-Wan - attack Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. Directed by J.A. Bayona and written by Derek Connolly & Colin Trevorrow (director of the first Jurassic World), this sequel doesn't match the magic and nostalgia of the first JW, but certainly sets up a third.

Spoilers ahead!

On this week's News episode, the Goose is loose as we try to cast his son in Top Gun 2, then we spawn:

• The Hate U Give gave us love for it
• Beautiful Boy will make you ugly cry
• Juliet Naked leaves O'Dowd cold
• Mandy is NOT about a dog
• Morbius should Leto it alone
• Screen Fix casting agency - Son of Goose
• Jim Carrey will carry Sonic

This week, we fix Incredibles 2. Pixar's latest effort is great when it sticks to our heroes but can't quite break the super hero curse of the weak villain. We put our fixing caps together and come up with some better villain ideas.

This week on Screen Fix News we chat the movies that made us pee a little as kids and chatter about:

• Creed 2 Bruise Control
• Spider-man far from home, kind of
• Silk has us crying over spilt spider milk
• The Witches and Roald's hatred of kids
• Glover for Gaye
• Star Wars stand-alones now really alone
