Movie mashups
A game suggested by listener Darren McKinnon in Edinburgh who, while bored during Hancock (a movie described by Mark Kermode as half a good film and then the twist happens, which like Iron Man he wasn't shy of giving away) pondered that, with film executives greenlighting so many remakes, why not take it to the next level and movie mashups?
