Spanning five films between 2006s 'Casino Royale' and 2021s 'No Time To Die', Craigs tenure as Bond saw the franchise go to previously unreached heights.  But was it all successes? Did everything 'work'? Does fan-favourite Skyfall still hold up? Join us as we dive in and take a look! Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

And what better way to kick off this new series than pitching a new version of Jurassic Park that would be a mini series and more faithful to the book?  Join in as we look at the tone of the show, the setting, and the cast. Please remember, this is all in good fun. If you disagree, cool, I'd love to know who you'd cast instead. Let us know in the comments below what you think of our pitch for Jurassic - what your version would be - and what other property you'd personally pitch!  Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

What makes some work more than others? Does it have to be purely what was there before? Tune in to find out! Also, be sure to check out 雨蛙amagaeru 's dope cover of "Who Will Know" that we used in our intro. The song, and cover, are fantastic.  Hope you enjoy, and God bless my friends!

Across The Spiderverse! Join us as we look at this latest spectacular big screen outing of Miles (and Spidey in general). Does it hold up to it's amazing predecessor? What other Spider-peeps appear?

Why? Things have been very chaotic lately (briefly discussed in this episode), and I didn't want to skip a week. I hope you'll enjoy our trip down memory lane!   On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we are joined by lifelong brother and fellow Trekkie Dave Cooke, and we're talking about (you guessed it) Star Trek. Dave and I look at our favourite shows, the films, franchise misfires, and what some of our hopes are from its future. When not being an accountant extraordinaire, Dave is a Treasurer for the Bolivian Children Foundation, which you can learn more about by hitting up their website:  http://www.bolivianchildren.ca/ Hope you enjoyed today's episode!

Where else is there for the franchise to go? Which sequel had potential that it didn't live up to? How many movies were supposed to launch trilogies instead of focusing on the film itself?
