In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Why ?
Watched the original a few months back. I still love its cynicism.

It's a dead medium.
I can't wait for Wanka (2024), the story of how Grandpa Joe faked a workplace injury to get on disability benefits. And, coming in 2025, Wonga: How Violet Paid for Her New Dress.
Forget original storytelling, I want them to keep scraping that nostalgia barrel.

This looks good.
The original is one of my fav films, the Depp remake was IMHO shockingly bad.

I'd watchFrom the director of...Paddington.
I had to look that up just to make sure that's all he's done. He also did the sequel.

Looks terrible if you ask me. Wonka seems miscast, and the tone seems off. It also seems weird to make a prequel, as it surely has to end with him becoming a cynical misanthrope who locks himself away from mankind?
Gloop: Gluttony and Golden Tickets - a biopic on Augustus Gloop before, during, and after the factory.
Christian Bale to go through another dramatic body transformation to play Augustus in all stages of his life. He will, for the first time, transform his body into that of a 10-year-old.
Seeing as Paddington 2 is one of my favourite guilty pleasure films I’m looking forward to this.
There's nothing to feel guilty about with Paddington 2, it's a genuinely great film.
I didn't like the look of this, but the only thing that makes me willing to watch is the creative team.
The bloke playing Wonka is miscast. Sounds like a 13 year old.
Chalamet is no Wonka based on that trailer, and the world doesn’t need this film.
Hugh Grant is great in most things he appears in these days... So I'll give it a watch just for that
When is it out
Stoked. Love me some Timothée.
Betcha he didn't have to audition.......... again.
This trailer ran ahead of the Taylor Swift movie, and to me it looked awful. Chalamet is over-exposed.
Due to watch it this week. Apparently people aren’t feeling Timothée Chalamet as Wonka (mostly saying that he isn’t convincing). I’m not surprised if this is the case…I feel like characters such as Wonka can’t be done by just anyone. In my opinion Johnny Depp was perfect because he always plays eccentric characters so well.
It was surprisingly good and thought Timothée was excellent in it (Hugh Grant steals the show though)
I liked it. Was a good take on the character and story and loved the casting. Despise Matt Lucas but everything else was spot on. Thought Chalamet was good.
