Well, that was a wholly satisfying – if not particularly earth-shattering – finale for a pretty great MCU series in VisionQuest. While this will likely remain my least favorite of the three pieces of the WandaVision trilogy, it was still a fun ride with some interesting emotional beats and a set-up for future appearances from Billy, Tommy, […]
Godzilla Minus One was the most successful Japanese Godzilla film. It made 16 times its budget at the box office and won the nuclear-powered kaiju an Academy Award for Visual Effects.

Okay, so I wasn’t correct as to who the Client ended up being. But I was right that Vision’s real journey this season wasn’t about solving a problem or escaping some villain – it was about recognizing (much like the Tin Man) that he had that heart he was searching for (or, in his case, […]
I wasn’t a big fan of Stick, AppleTV’s Owen Wilson-led golf comedy, in its first season. While Wilson was solid, if not spectacular, playing a typical Owen Wilson character in Pryce “Stick” Cahill, the show’s paint by numbers writing and lack of any real emotional depth or stakes didn’t keep my interest. And I wasn’t planning […]

Pavi and Nisha are forced to go on the run after Nisha revealed herself as the Avatar and their protector, Karthik, has been arrested after Jae’s betrayal. As fear spreads across the Ellora, the Anomaly grows […]
Lately, I’ve found myself complaining that new TV shows aren’t offering original storytelling – case in point, my recent review of the very derivative Nocturne. Well, I’m happy to report that Phony, the new mystery comedy from Hulu, actually has a pretty original story to tell. Okay, it’s not wholly original, but it manages to take […]
Artificial Intelligence: it’s a phrase we cannot escape. It’s a technology that has ‘revolutionised’ the global economy since it entered the mainstream. Despite the economic growth figures and booming stock market, the general public is hostile to AI because of the potential jobs crisis, environmental impact, and the rapid growth of data centres, which can […]

In a bunker under a British Army base, a group of children are held captive and go through an unorthodox educational process. Whenever they leave their cells, they are strapped […]
