It’s hard for us to imagine, but most students in America haven’t seen a U.S. spacecraft carry astronauts into space. It’s been more than nine years since the last space shuttle mission, so anybody not in high school is likely too young to remember watching a space mission “live.” Add to the fact that, for […]
The fifth episode of Rick and Morty‘s Fourth Season, “Rattlestar Ricklactica” sees a true return to form for the adult animated series, being the best episode of the season, so far. When Rick and Morty spacecar break down, Morty defies Rick’s orders and leaves the car. This starts a chain of events where Morty gets […]
We finally got an episode that contained a pretty even balance of the show’s central four characters. It only took nearly the entire season to get us to this point; a season that had far too many rambling narrative tangents that pulled focus away from the season’s central arc, thereby making it a muddled mess […]
If you haven’t seen Bong Joon Ho’s 2013 post-apocalyptic thriller Snowpiercer (which starred Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton and was the Oscar-winning director’s first – and to this point, only – mostly English language film)*, I’d recommend you sit down and watch it immediately. It’s really great. Then I would recommend that you skip this […]
The fantasy-themed “Claw and Horder: Special Ricktim’s Morty” has quickly earned a reputation for being one of the worst Rick and Morty episodes. But is it really worthy of this status? After an off-world adventure, Rick has to live up to his promise to give Morty a dragon. However, the dragon, Balthromaw (Liam Cunningham), is unenthusiastic about the arrangement […]
Quiz is a dramatisation of the trial of Charles Ingram who allegedly cheated to win £1,000,000 on Wants to be a Millionaire. It’s a miniseries that showed ambition from ITV due to its ensemble cast and choice of director. In the late ’90s, David Liddiment (Risteárd Cooper) becomes the new head of ITV and immediately […]
I suspect the major tagline for The Great, the (dare I say) great new limited series from Hulu about the rise of Russia’s Catherine the Great, will be some variation of “If you loved The Favourite, you’ll love The Great!” And, really, that statement isn’t wrong. But it sells The Great short. While there is […]
I don’t understand the purpose of “Are You From Pinner?”, both as an episode of Killing Eve and as an episode of the series that falls so late in the show’s third season. I think I understand what showrunner Suzanne Heathcote wanted from this episode (to explore a bit more about who Villanelle was and […]
The third episode of the fourth season of Rick and Morty sees the duo enter into the world of heisting in a hilarious parody of heist films. Whilst on an adventure Rick and Morty find out that the Heist Artist Miles Knightly beat them to an alien tomb. In an act of spite, Rick challenges Miles to […]
Poor Nico. Yet another casualty of the continue push and pull between Eve and Villanelle, albeit one that didn’t stem from either of their direct actions – which is what makes this particular twist a touch more interesting than those that have become before. Sure, we all knew Nico was unlikely to make it out […]
