Welcome to this episode of ACP and the latest in news, views and reviews from Gino's couch, but first BIG news! We are making it even easier to get your Couch Potato fix. We are now happening on YouTube, and you can get real-time updates and reviews as they happen on our brand new WhatsApp channel. Look out for Mzansi Film News, Views and Reviews. Local news sees the launch of a brand new family intervention show where family members confront each other about underlying issues that have caused a rift in the fam. Watch out for fireworks! On to some reviews, as Gino looks at: Marked - A religious former police officer plans a bold robbery with a sinister ally to fund her daughter's crucial operation. Longest Third Date - When Matt and Khani match on Hinge, sparks fly. They spontaneously fly to Costa Rica for their third date - and get stuck as the world shuts down in March 2020. An extended stay in paradise becomes the ultimate test of compatibility. Trainwreck Storm Area 51 - A viral Facebook event to storm Area 51 draws millions of signups, prompting military warnings. As memes spread about Naruto-running past bullets, UFO hunters and internet personalities converge for what could be a desert party or clash. And that's it.
