Its been a while since I've reviewed anything - combination of split Working from Home / Working in the Office, homeschooling kids, and general malaise has made playing games too much like hard work at the moment - which is rubbish.

However, I got a few new games over Christmas (Monster Mansion, a version of Mysterium, and a couple of others) which are review-worthy, and I've ordered Star Saga which *SHOULD* arrive on Saturday. Hopefully, at some point over the weekend, I can get a couple of reviews done.

Longer term, I also have a few Kickstarters which are expected in the next 2-6 months, from Pugs in Mugs (mostly for my daughter!) to Lawyer Up, to Merchants Cove, and a few others too! Should be interesting, and hopefully I can introduce a few brand new games to everyone.

Very entertaining
This award winning podcast has gradually become one of my favourite podcasts. It's a simple enough idea - married couple Dave and Cathy go and see a movie, and then discuss it while walking home from the cinema. Sometimes, depending on the movie genre, one of them will be replaced by a friend or relative, but the majority of the shows are just them.

A lot of the enjoyment comes from their bickering, listening to a married couple lightheartedly fight when they disagree on certain elements in the movie. It's the kind of thing anyone who goes to the movies with family or friends will be used to and it's that familiarity and down to earth conversation, along with the fact that they both have very easy on the ears Irish accents, that makes this so entertaining.

Fun!
Took me a while to finally watch this one. There have been more than a couple "not-so-good" godzilla movies made that made me wary. This one, however, turned out pretty good. The acting was good(Millie Bobby Brown impresses again), the cinematography/ effects were great. I appreciate that they went with the "older" look to the monsters(they were awesome). The action scenes were intense and the story(whilst taking a lot-and I mean a LOT-of liberties with science and nature) was very entertaining. A few cheesy jokes, a corny scene here and there, a couple jump scares and the remake of the Godzilla song thrown in make this a fun watch for everyone. This is what a movie should be-entertaining and fun(even with the socio-political undertones). REALLY worth a watch!
