Yes, we have updated this episode to include the Lion King review so cruelly taken from us by a previous technical glitch, and a look at the big Marvel announcements at Comic-Con.
Elsewhere... What were they thinking? Are the mo-cap feline versions of Judi Dench, James Corden, Jennifer Hudson and Taylor Swift really the nightmare fuel the internet would have you believe?
And filed under 'Is The Anything He Can't Do?', we have to ask if Tom Cruise has been learning to fly fighter jets in his spare time?
And then we ask if the joke has gone too far in Jim Jarmusch's zombie comedy, The Dead Don't Die? Are the laconic styles of Bill Murray and Adam Driver enough to carry this undead vehicle?
Ernest Luis pops by to host Jonathan Roberts as they ramble through the movies.

Pop Vultures Ep 10: Black mermaids & spies - Race and representation in film
20:52 mins
Synopsis: A podcast by The Straits Times that examines all the ins and outs of pop culture, be it Asian entertainment or Hollywood.
Several casting choices, which some have deemed controversial, are in the headlines this week and the #PopVultures are here to talk these choices out.
First, they dive into the backlash following the casting of black singer Halle Bailey as Little Mermaid/Ariel in the live adaptation of the beloved Disney animated film Little Mermaid (1989) and why people against the casting ultimately seem to be basing their dislike on the colour of Bailey's skin.
Then, they dish about the choice to cast Agent 007, often associated with James Bond of the British spy series, as a black woman in the form of actress Lashana Lynch (Remember Captain Marvel's best friend from when she was still a normal woman? That's her.) Once again, people are raging.
#PopVultures share their opinions and ask actress Scarlett Johansson to check her privilege after she responded to casting criticism with this now-viral line: "You know, as an actor, I should be able to play any person, or any tree, or any animal, because that's my job and the requirements of my job.”
Join the #PopVultures as they talk race, diversity and representation in film and why it's important!

Health Check Ep 14: Student burnout - How parents can spot it
11:01 mins
Synopsis: In this fortnightly podcast series on Wednesdays, The Straits Times guides you to healthier living and debunks the myths with expert guests.
In this episode, ST correspondent Joyce Teo and podcasting head Ernest Luis asked Dr Lim Boon Leng, a psychiatrist at Gleneagles Medical Centre, to share more on student burnout.
Burnout is a condition that was classified - by the World Health Organisation in late May 2019 - as an occupational phenomenon and not a medical condition. However, burnout is not a condition that is specific to the workplace.
Students can get burnout too.
Dr Lim answers the following questions:
What are the early signs and symptoms of student burnout to watch out for?
How serious is student burnout?
What happens if your child is experiencing burnout?
If your child is burnt out, should you keep him from school?
What causes student burnout and what can parents do?
