It's time to look at another terrible video game movie adaptation, and in this episode we're covering two for twice the misery. So join Mark, Nick, and Andy as they delve into the incredibly dated early 2000's action schlock that is the Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider movies.

Severely delayed by technical issues, in this episode Mark is joined by Nick, Chazzee, and not Andy to discuss the Xbox Developer Direct, the Switch 2 reveal, spend a few brief moments eulogising the much maligned WiiU, and run down all the games they've been playing over the past month or so.

It's a new year and Adam is feeling guilty about his backlog, so to help him clear it (and because getting on regular podcast recordings is difficult) he's going to catalog his quasi year of shame with a new solo show: Backlog Busting. In this special Episode 0 Adam explains the concept and the rules of this format. Episode 1 coming soon!
