Space Jam: A New Legacy Review
25 years ago, Michael Jordan and Looney Tunes joined forces to defeat aliens on the basketball court. After years of development hell, a sequel has finally been released with LeBron James in the main role. LeBron James is an NBA megastar and wants his sons to follow in his footsteps. But his younger son, Dom […]
The Croods: A New Age Review
The Croods are back for a second cinematic adventure. This time the tribe meets the first civilised family and faces the challenges of their culture crash. Since the events of the first film The Croods are searching for the fabled ‘Tomorrow’. They seem to have found it when they cross over a wall to a […]
Fear Street Part Three: 1666 Review
Netflix has been dominating the horror movie scene throughout the month of July with the release of its Fear Street trilogy event. Dropping a sequel the week after the premiere of its predecessor is a gutsy move. Doing it twice in a row is particularly unheard of. And yet, probably the craziest thing they’ve done […]
Fear Street Part Two: 1978 Review
Although this weekend may be dominated by Marvel’s long-awaited Black Widow, Netflix has offered up the latest installment of their Fear Street trilogy for those who prefer frights over tights. This spooky sequel, as the followup to last week’s Part One: 1994, sheds more light on the monsters and lore that haunt the unlucky town […]

This is why I get frustrated by the Amazing Spider-Man 2’s of the world – franchises that attempt the full trilogy journey, but collapse along […]
Pop Culture Maniacs Podcast #23: Fast & Furious Franchise
Kieran Freemantle and Zack Walsh talk about the Fast & Furious franchise and the latest film from the series F9: The Fast Saga.
Freaky Review
Freaky is a horror-comedy that mashes up the slasher film with a body swap comedy. What was created was a wonderfully self-aware film that pays tribute to both genres. Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton) is a quiet and bullied high school student. She lives in the small American town of Blissfield. But Blissfield has been plagued by […]
Supernova Review
Supernova is a British drama about love and commitment in the face of life-altering circumstances. Sam (Colin Firth) and Tusker (Stanley Tucci) are a couple who have been together for 20 years. Tusker has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia and Sam is prepared to give up his life as a concert pianist to care for his […]
