IGN UK Podcast

Cardy, Matt, and Mat are here this week to talk about cursed meals they've eaten. Before all of that, though, there are thoughts on the madness that is Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, why Hellblade 2 isn't quite working for them, the intriguing concept behind sci-fi survival game The Alters, and another of Cardy's foreign film recommendations in the shape of Hirokazu Kore-eda's Monster. As ever, there’s also the regular dose of madness thanks to your feedback, including multiple unseasoned ground beef recipes. Send in your food nonsense to ign_ukfeedback@ign.com (or questions and thoughts about games, TV, and films – we should probably stay on topic at least 60% of the time).  Learn more about your ad choices.

What's the wettest ever film? Cardy, Jen, and Mat are here to answer this and other pressing questions this week. Tears of the Kingdom looks good, doesn't it? Let's talk about that. So does Final Fantasy 16. Let's talk about that, too. Immortals of Aveum could be good. Evil Dead Rise has lots of blood in it. Beef (the meat) also has blood in it, but we're talking about the Netflix show which is very good and also has a little blood.
