This week on a roadshow episode of Checkpoint Chat, Sandy's made three new friends in Trine 4 and learnt to think like the Baba Yaga in John Wick Hex, while Matty has discovered just why Titanfall 2 is one of the best shooters you haven't played.

Cats harmed us in the making of this episode.

Movement is the name of the game this week on Checkpoint Chat, as Sandy checks out the improved platforming of Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair and Matty checks in with the frantic football of PES 2020.

Ain't no chance he's hitting any headers with that hair though.

Totally stole this idea off StarJoes... But if you were forced to select one year's Joe figures, one year's Cobra figures, one year's Joe vehicles, and one year's Cobra vehicles WITHOUT doubling up on any particular year - which do you pick?! And can you anticipate your fellow Joburger's choices? Some found it easier than others...

We also weigh in on HasLab's successful Unicron crowdfunding initiative and the very recent blockbuster, JOKER.

It's just short of two hours of shenanigans with the full Joburg squad. Enjoy!
