Christian R. Allan returns to join Iain as they review Black Widow, the latest (and overdue) chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Coming after we have already said goodbyes to the character, does the film honour the Marvel Avenger or does it seem an afterthought?

Also reviewed in this episode is Netflix animated history scrabble America: The Motion Picture and Luca, the latest release from Pixar. Two animated films that promise a lot but might not necessarily hit the targets.

For the guest recommendation, Christian talks about The Lighthouse starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Patterson and Iain shares some thoughts on Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Iain is joined by Hugh K. David from Reel History UK to take a look at two action-packed sequels. First up is The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard where Ryan Reynolds is trying to take a break from all that bodyguarding but Salma Hayek and Samuel L. Jackson have other ideas.

Then it's all about fast cars, furious people and of course, family, with F9: The Fast Saga. The long-awaited ninth instalment in the Fast and Furious franchise (or 10th if you include Hobbs & Shaw). The latest outing seeing Vin Diesel and his family trying to save the world from rogue superspy extraordinaire John Cena.

What did the duo make of these bombastic films? Find out!

Christian pays a flying visit to Iain's home on this episode of Film Roar to shift through the decaying promises of Zack Snyder's Army of The Dead. The big horror blockbuster from Netflix seemingly offers a wonderful zombie-filled trip to Vegas but was the bright lights and gory sights worth spending two and half hours on? Find out on the show.

Iain also offers his initial thoughts on Disney's latest produce of animation to live-action with Cruella. A big-budget prequel charting the rise of iconic Disney villain, Cruella de Vil. We've been here before with lots of promising adaptations from Disney and they've been nothing but crushing disappointments and wastes of time. Will the fashionable villainess change the tide?

For his movie recommendation, Christian steps into the family MMA combat drama Warrior and finds himself locking up with Tom Hardy. And if that's not enough, he also takes a slight detour into TV territory to talk about how much he enjoyed The Mandalorian....a few years after the show started.
