On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're reflecting on the most recent era of the James Bond franchise; the Daniel Craig era. 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!

On today's episode of One Cross Radio (which may or may not have been decided by a coin toss), we're talking about the importance of franchises/movies needing a plan to continue, and to illustrate we're using the examples of Bond, Jurassic Park, and Halloween. Now these are three very different franchises, but all are in a similar position currently; all three recently had big story enders, and are in the position of "where do they go from here?". Explore with us as we look at how these long run...

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're diving into our back catalogue and rereleasing an old episode. Why? Things have been very chaotic lately (briefly discussed in this episode), and I didn't want to not have a release. I hope you'll enjoy our trip down memory lane! Also, I need to issue a correction. In my number #2 spot, the master Plagueis killed was Darth Tenebrous, and the person he kept alive in stasis for experimentation was secret apprentice Darth Venamis. You should also be sure...

On today's episode of One Cross Radio, we're looking at the latest entry to the MCU with Black Panther Wakanda Forever. Now, I recorded this about an hour after watching the movie - so feelings were very fresh. And as a friendly reminder, spoilers are inbound. What did you think of the movie? Do you like where it's going? Where do you think the third will go? Isn't Namor the worst? All joking aside, and all that being said - hope you enjoyed, and God bless my friends.
