IGN UK Podcast #518: The Alternative Movie and TV Awards 2019

It's Star Wars Day! Alex, Dale and Cardy are here to spoil everything about Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker. Do not listen to this podcast unless you've seen the film.

IGN UK Podcast #517: The Alternative Games Awards 2019

IGN does lots of Game the Year Award categories, but we just can't cover everything. That's where IGN UK comes in, to dish out awards for the stuff no one else will. Like the game that makes kids call you lame on the tube, or the game that makes you feel smarter than you ever actually will be, or the game that work made us frightened of. All of those awards and more are handed out in this retrospective edition of the podcast. Also, Joe tells a cautionary story about having his legs laughed at. R...

IGN UK Podcast #516: Todd Phillips Interview and Our Pitches for DC Movies

There's not much going on with video games at the moment so this week Cardy, Joe and Matt talk all about them movies. There's new Bond and Black Widow trailers to dissect, plus Matt has seen 1917 and tells us why its an absolute banger. Joe got the chance to speak with Joker director Todd Phillips which inspired us to come up with our own pitches for DC movies, the directors we'd like to see make them and why Shaun Williamson aka Barry from Eastenders should play every role in the DC universe. T...

It's Football Day: Episode 2

We're back for another 90 minutes (that was unintentional, we just talk a lot) of chat about our burgeoning Football Manager careers.

IGN UK Podcast #515: New Films, Old Games, and a Worried Phone Call

Dale, Cardy and Joe - the Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci of podcasting - have convened this week to pour praise on The Irishman, pour slightly more cryptic praise on Parasite, check in on Death Stranding and Jedi: Fallen Order, and then talk some Mandalorian spoilers at the very end. The Endless Search brings back the insanely difficult quote translation game in nicer form, which is fun. Also there's a touching bit where Joe's dad call to check if he's alive. Enjoy. And remember, if you...

IGN UK Podcast #514: Accidental Star Wars Special

Look, Disney owns everything now. It more than likely owns one of us on the show and we just don't know about it - Dale, probably, he's the most marketable. We can't do anything about that, so here's a podcast where talk about some of its High Quality Star Wars Products in great detail. On top of that, we've got a Star Wars-themed Endless Search, a bit of Star Wars-themed feedback and, er, someone who doesn't like the idea of our Football Manager spin-off. Fair enough, really. And remember, if y...

It's Football Day: Episode 1

Some of us here at the IGN UK office spend more time than is healthy - both professionally and medically - talking about Football Manager. That's why we've finally given into our desires and created a spin-off podcast all about the newest game in the series, Football Manager 2020. Welcome to It's Football Day, our twice-monthly show all about the greatest spreadsheets on this sweet Earth of ours. It's also a tiny bit about Charlie Hunnam's accent in Green Street. Join Cardy, Joe and Dale as we i...

IGN UK Podcast #513: We Can Catch Pokemon in the UK But Can't Watch The Mandalorian

This week we have special superstar guest Sydnee Goodman join Cardy and Joe to tell them all about a frankly bizarre sounding childhood filled with pun-slinging cartoon dogs, pineapple haired teens and clipping her own ears back to create leprechaun ears. It's a wild ride. Cardy's been playing that new Pokemon Sword and Shield game so talks about that for a bit, plus the trailer showdown of the century is here as Sonic the Hedgehog takes on Scooby-Doo. The Endless Search returns as we take anoth...

IGN UK Podcast #512: We Can Now Talk About Death Stranding

Look, we know you're expecting Death Stranding chat this week... and that's exactly what you're getting. Dale and Joe's impressions of Kojima's latest is succulently sandwiched between two beautifully baked slices of wholemeal in the shape of Cardy and Alex's trials with Modern Warfare's Spec Ops, and excitement for Overwatch 2. Go On Name Them makes a glorious return and the Cardy's Football Manager team is revealed in a podcast climax that the world has never heard the like of, and likely neve...

IGN UK Podcast #511: Gooigi Is Gaming's Greatest Dump

Look, we know you're expecting Death Stranding chat this week... but we're not allowed to talk about that. Come back! We promise we have so much more!

This week's Endless Search also includes a major last-minute twist for the second week in a row. Is this the best feature ever? I'm starting to thiiiink so...

IGN UK Podcast #510: Terminator Episode VI - A New Hope

Could it be real? Could there really be another good Terminator film in the world? It seems so, and that's one of the plethora of topics on the table in this week's IGN UK Podcast. Matt's seen it, and he's got a few thoughts on why - for better and for worse - it's the best one since T2. Not only that, but we've got an interview with stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton on the show, too. Before all that, though, there's more to discuss. Star Wars! The Outer Worlds! Watchmen! Big hefty ...

In this week's thrilling installment of the IGN UK Podcast, Dale has a Halloween-themed Cadbury's Creme Egg that he's desperate to eat. But will he get to the gooey centre before Cardy takes it for himself? You'll have to listen to the whole 'cast to find out. Thankfully that shouldn't be too much of an arduous task, as there's plenty to discuss. Matt's been to EGX to play Marvel's Avengers, including hands-on time with a new character; the super-stretchy Ms. Marvel. Dale's also been previewing ...

It's podcast day, and Joe, Jesse, and Matt have come together to discuss what may be their game of the year: Disco Elysium. Never heard of it? Then you're in the right place for hugely enthusiastic, incredible weird chat about this massive, strange detective RPG.

IGN UK Podcast #507: Joker Spoilers and Spoil-y Trailers

It's a podcast of two halves this week. In the first half, we talk through a whole heap of new film trailers we've been watching recently, cover Apex Legends' new map (and all it's lovely colours, for some reason), and play another lovely game of Mr. Lister's Quiz Shootout. But the second half is deeper, darker, spoilier. We've just seen Joker, and Joe, Cardy and Matt convened to talk it through in it's entirety . Listen at your own risk.

IGN UK Podcast #506: Untitled Podcast Game

Cardy, Dale, and Matt sit down at the UK Podcast table this week to discuss a plethora of delights, starting with the exploits of Mr. Joaquin Phoenix in this year's other other big comic book movie, Joker. Matt and Cardy have also been to see Rian Johnson's latest, Knives Out, and discuss why it's a great pallet cleanser following The Last Jedi.

IGN UK Podcast #505: The Legend of Volta

Cardy & Joe have both been reviewing games this week so gather round the podcast table for layers of critical thought. Link's Awakening has been remade for the Switch so Joe tells you why that's a banger and Cardy has done FIFA again so explains what's up with the footballs this year. Borderlands 3 also gets its fair share of debate time. Meanwhile, Dale is convinced that new Netflix show "The I-Land" has ripped him off and is out to prove it. Joe's got a list-based quiz for the Endless Sear...

IGN UK Podcast #504: Norman Reedus - Full Body Edition

Tokyo Game Show is happening right now, bringing big revelations about some of Japan's biggest games. So you know what that means: long chats about what the hell is going on in Death Stranding. Joe, Cardy and Matt discuss Kojima's latest revelations, and it looks like we finally know what you do in the game. There's more than Thermos babies to discuss, though. We've been playing a duo of delights in Gears 5 and Catherine: Full Body, plus the slightly less delightful Daemon X Machina. And in film...

Matt has seen IT Chapter Two and not only does tell us his feelings, but he also shares his interview he did with the film's director, Andy Muschietti. But that's not the only scaries we have this week. In what feels like an early halloween, we have three spooky games to bang on about. Dale has played Blair Witch and has a lot of thoughts about the game and the history of the series. Jesse talks about finishing Man of Medan three times and Dale has also tried out the latest PS4 FMV game, Erica. ...

IGN UK Podcast #502: Sherlock Holmes and the Bees of Love

If you aren't from the UK, you might not be aware that we aren't getting Disney+ along with the rest of the world. We have some stuff to say about that. Once we've gone through the stages of grief, we have time to talk about The Mandalorian, new Disney and Star Wars series, and Control. We even squeezed in a chat with Brian Froud, the genius behind the many, many designs of creatures in The Dark Crystal, and its new Netflix Prequel, Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Thanks Brian! And remember, if...

IGN UK Podcast #501: The Gamescom Special

Look, Gamescom was very busy, so we recorded the special when we got back. Inauthentic? Yes. Tired? Also yes. But we are at least comprehensive. That's why you get big hunky chunks of Death Stranding, Disintegration, Marvel's Avengers, The Endless Cylinder and more. Also, Joe turned Farming Simulator into an actual game! (Sorry, Germany).
