In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
They even had to slow the footage down a tad because he was so fast.
Bloody hell, 80 years old. Wow. One of my moms favorite actors. (she's RIP right now, bless her).

Why can't they just leave the classic movie franchises to rest and come up with something new for a change?
What is it with film production companies ruining movies… I mean, I get that they have to make money and from that stand point i get why they make sequels, but sometimes they can destroy the legendary ones that started it.
Star Wars 1, 2, 3 - I get why it was done and was a reasonable sequence to the legendary ones, but now I have no idea what is going on with the latest spin offs
the last Indiana was absolutely shite, and now we’ve got this sequel with a 77 year old explorer. It’s going to look corny as feck with way too much cgi like the last one.
Ill be first in line to see I though

They're guranted to make money even if they're awful.
Ok, I'm interested now if Mads is in it.
There’s been rumours swirling around that the formal title will be ‘Indiana Jones and the Prisoners of Time’ which is a cool sounding name, which probably means it absolutely won’t be… and that it’s based on an artefact that enables time travel. Mikkelsen’s character seems to hint at that with the ‘correct some of the mistakes of the past’ part.
The round glasses seem to be similar to a past villain too…
Based on the synopsis above, Indiana Jones and the Race for Space would've been an interesting curve ball
What else was he going to say? “Don’t go see our movie, it’s shit“?
That rumor was started by a click baity Youtuber. No one credible.
This movie will be good. Mangold don't miss.
Im not saying it’s going to be shit, but I ain’t gonna say it’s going to be good either. Not after crystal skull. And while mangold might have a good rep, he ain’t the one writing it. And as much Hollywood wishes it wasn’t so, the writing is where the real magic happens.
Good news for you, he did write it! I think he co wrote with his usual partner.
Last I heard, Phoebe waller bridge wrote it. (Just checked) she didnt, thank feck. My positivity has increased. The Butterworth Brothers wrote the script, Mangold did the screenplay. Butterworth Bros did the screenplay for edge of tomorrow which was awesome. So yeah, quietly optimistic now.
Mangold directing is the only plus point at the moment.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny confirmed!
Not that I'm surprised but that looks like way too much CGI
She really would be a Wonder Woman. Leave us wondering how, and wow.The Dial of Destiny sounds really meh
Thought the same. Not feeling hopeful on this one.
Trailer gave of these vibes.
A film made for men over 50 who randomly cry all the time.

Shame PWB isn't involved in the writing, she's excellent.Last I heard, Phoebe waller bridge wrote it. (Just checked) she didnt, thank feck. My positivity has increased.

I wonder how many reviews will accuse Ford of dialing it in.
Ford at 80 years old still looks cool in this day, can’t wait for this move.
Well I'm a man over 50 and I'm keeping clear of this. Loved 1-3, thought 4 was meh and want nothing what so ever to do with 5. While I think there is a place for octogenarians in films it's not as action heroes.
Awful title
This is the one that was filmed in Glasgow right ?
I thought Chris Pratt was going to take over? He's not in this?
This can be done right in a beautifully nostalgic and sympathetic tone that focus's on Indie coming to terms with his physical disadvantages and the new world that's developing before his eyes.
I expect alot of back and fourth to Indies past exciting exploits and the present, with the narrative all coming together in a action packed final conclusion.
Aslong as Lucas isn't heavily involved, I think Spielberg can still pull off a great conclusion to Indie's overall story.
The title is shit though.
Edit: Keep forgetting this is Directed by Mangold, not Spielberg.
Mangold wouldn't go near this if the story wasn't good or had potential.

That was one of the things I hoped for a few years back. I thought he’d have been a great replacement and then they could have done adventures that aren’t dictated by Harrison Ford’s age.
The Nazis are overused at this point and they can do decent alternative baddies. Have a Spanish themed adventure where Franco’s fascist dictatorship is the antagonist or something.
New trailer came out 3 days ago.
Seeing John Rhys-Davies back as Sallah really peeled the onions for me. I can't think of a better sidekick to Indy than him.

Hopefully he gets the send off he deserves.
This just makes me sad.
Except they already tried that in 4 with Shia Laboeuf. I hope they don’t try and turn into a Bond franchise with different actors in the role. What they did in Solo, with an actor doing a Borscht Belt imitation of Harrison Ford for 90 minutes, proves how unique Ford is/was. Next up, Ewan McGregor as Indiana McJones, in theaters 2026.
It was a nonsensical story, but also some of the most inept directing ever seen in a professional movie. Lucas and Spielberg both shat the bed, but I’d say Spielberg—as a household name with Oscars and the ability to make a movie about any topic with any cast and an almost unlimited budget—deserves more blame.
