Despicable Me 4 Review
To say Tamzyn is a Despicable Me fan is an understatement, join in the crazy fun as Tamzyn unpacks this delightful movie. Apparently, the only time kids were not fully engaged in the movie was when they left to go to the loo – that’s a five-star rating for a kid’s movie. Just when you thought we couldn’t get any Geekier Tamzyn explains Mega Minions and the Megaverse! The pressing question is will Tamzyn turn her temporary tattoo of a minion into real ink?

Sweet Tooth Season 3 Review
The team have enjoyed all three series and have a great discussion around the allegories within. Sam notes that Sweet Tooth has positioned the powerful people that perpetrate eugenics and intolerance of difference as villains, and Gus stands in opposition to them as a voice for embracing and empowering difference. It’s Sam’s hope that we can carry some of this into the real world. As always, this conversation delivers important perspectives from the fabulously diverse Geek team.
