And finally, the amazingly exciting Pizza And A Movie section…
Last week, Eoghan chose Matilda, and Rory went with Troy, and put the vote to the public, and after thousands of votes, they went with…
Here are this week’s picks, with the vote once again going up on JOE’s Instagram channel, so keep an eye out on that to have your say!
RORY’S PICK – Ocean’s Eleven
Yes, another week of Rory picking a movie fronted by Brad Pitt, surrounded by beautiful people, as they all try to sneakily break into somewhere they shouldn’t. But this time, they aren’t trying to sack an ancient city, but empty the contents of three Vegas casinos. Literally one of the most entertaining movies of all time!
Ocean’s Eleven is available to watch on Prime Video and Netflix right now.

EOGHAN’S PICK – Primal Fear
The very first big screen appearance of Edward Norton sees him paired with Richard Gere in the brilliant legal thriller about an altar boy (Norton) who is accused of murdering a prominent Catholic Archbishop in Chicago, but the truth behind the crime is beneath many, many layers of deception and secrecy.
Primal Fear is available to watch on Netflix right now.
