As 2015 draws to a close, Gav, Chris and Dale review the year's television, talking Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Mr Robot and Better Call Saul. It was a year when second seasons were either very good, or very bad, with Fargo falling into the former camp, and True Detective and Broadchurch very much the latter. As far as comedy was concerned, Broad City was unexpectedly hilarious, and Peep Show went out with a bang. Mad Men also had a impressive finale, while documentary The Jinx blew our minds.

The BBC's film about the making of GTA starring Daniel Radcliffe aired this week, and was a big part of the BBC's coding season, but it wasn't all that good or interesting. Alex, Gav, and Krupa discuss why it was such a flop and why it failed to really address what's interesting about the GTA story.

Turns out we're excellent at stealth. Seriously. With Battlefield Hardline coming out this week, the podcast crew was invited to a mystery location in Central London to break into a top-secret facility and empty a heavily-guarded vault. We took it far too seriously (apart from Alex who was wearing a bright red hoodie for Comic Relief). We also talk about how Battlefield's take on Heists compare with those in GTA Online, as well as the massive Nintendo news from earlier in the week and the beautiful PlayStation 4 exclusive Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. As always, that's in addition to the regular nonsense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We really are spoiling you with our pod-guests these days. Hot-on-the-heels of Ex Machina’s Alex Garland and Evolve’s Phil Robb, we’ve now got games journalist-turned-screenwriter Gary Whitta joining Chris and Gav for an epic cast. Whitta started out in the games industry in the late 1980s before making the transition to film via The Book of Eli and Another Earth. For the last year he’s been busy working in a galaxy far, far away, writing the first standalone movie in the new Star Wars cycle, which will be directed by Gareth ‘Godzilla’ Edwards and hitting screens December 2016. Gary doesn’t reveal much about the movie – bound as he is by the mother of all non-disclosure agreements – but he does talk about his love of The Empire Strikes Back, how the original trilogy inspired his generation of writers and filmmakers, and what working on this new movie has been like as a creative experience. Oh, and his failure in a Star Wars quiz many moons ago also gets a (somewhat unfair) mention. If that weren’t enough, Gary offers his advice to aspiring screenwriters, talks about games as an art-form in the 21st Century, explains where’s he’s at with his adaptation of Mark Millar comic Starlight, tells an AMAZING story aboutFrank Darabont, and gives us the skinny on his forthcoming novel Abomination, which is available via pre-sale this Monday, February 9. Braking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul hits Netflix this week so the boys discuss their hopes and fears for the show, while the conversation about potential TV reboots rumbles on, with Star Trek, The Crystal Maze and Green Wing all getting a mention in reader feedback. Out this week includes games Gunman Clive 2, Game of Thrones Episode 2 and Evolve, while the big movie releases are Selma, Shaun the Sheep and Jupiter Ascending. Learn more about your ad choices.
