    In this episode of Pop Culture Gamers, Haydn, Steve, and Paul share what they’ve been playing and watching across gaming, film, and TV. Haydn discusses time spent with Tempest Rising and gives his thoughts on the final season of For All Mankind, as well as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, praising its visuals and game accuracy while noting it doesn’t quite reach the heights of the first film.

    Steve covers Starfield: Shattered Space, including ongoing updates and DLC, alongside revisiting classics such as Life onMars and Ben Hur.


    Paul rounds things off with a packed gaming lineup featuring Darksiders 3, Resident Evil 5 & 6, Persona 5 Royal, Rise of the Ronin, Cyberpunk 2077, and the much‑anticipated Crimson Desert, plus TV and filmpicks including The Apprentice and Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.

    It’s another filled episode of gaming chat and pop culture discussion from the Pop Culture Gamers crew.

    In Movies, TV and Streaming, the team reviews Project Hail Mary, How to Make a Killing, Hamnet, SISU: Road to Revenge, and more — including Haydn’s glowing praise for the pacing and emotional punch of Project Hail Mary .

    Plus: gaming news, charts, new releases, listener questions, and the usual banter that keeps the Pop Culture Gamers community coming back every week.
