Meet Mags, Daz, Anuja and Gez – two married couples who talk movies and pop culture every time they meet. They've now decided to record their conversations in the hope that someone will crown them the ABBA of pop culture commentary.
Let's face it: we all felt a little burnt by the way "Game of Thrones" ended, so when HBO announced that it had greenlit a prequel show about House Targaryen, we were mightily sceptical. But little by little, we were sucked in, to the point where we now can't avoid the conversation about "House of the Dragon" – the time jumps, the casting changes, the incest, and funnily enough, the merits or demerits of one Viserys I.

"Top Gun: Maverick"
Here's the thing about Tom Cruise: not since Napoleon has a man this short come so close to world domination. And yet there's no denying that as the world emerges from a prolonged pandemic lockdown, Thomas Cruise Mapother IV is being hailed as the saviour of cinema, the man who has given us all a reason to to go back the movie theatre otherwise than to watch the latest Marvel extravaganza. So how does "Top Gun: Maverick" hold up? And does the world owe Tom Cruise for showing us once again that nothing compares to practical effects projected onto a big screen? We ponder this and more in the latest Pop Culture Double Date.

"The Batman"
The Caped Crusader has returned in solo live-action feature for the first time in a decade, folks, and this time we're spending time with his dark side, which, by the looks of things, may be his only side. In this episode, we ponder whether "The Batman" has taken more than its fair share of thematic inspiration from the The Dark Knight Trilogy, whether it was possible to shave precious minutes off the film's gargantuan running time, whether this movie really needed Catwoman and whether Robert Pattinson is a worthy wearer of the cowl.
