Phew! In amongst all that we’ve also got some more news and we talk about the trailers below.

If you are an iTunes user you may think we’ve been even quieter recently that we have actually been; you see unfortunately the iTunes feed …um broke.

We talk about more updates on those Star Wars spinoff movies, what might be next in Marvels long term plan for the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, our thoughts on all the trailers from last week’s Super Bowl and a few more bits an d pieces of odd news.
