Your home for entertainment
Recently, UCLA’s Center for Scholars & Storytellers released their Teens & Screens Report, which stated that of the over 1,600 adolescents they polled, over 63% preferred stories focused on platonic relationships/friendships, as opposed to romantic ones, with movies remaining a top choice for entertainment, and a preference for live-action over animation. Respondents still rated animation, […]
The BBC medical soap Doctors is coming to an end after being on British TV for 24 years. The series has produced over 4496 episodes by the time of publication and it has given many writers and actors their first gig on TV. It has played a major part in the film and TV industry […]
While I might spend a lot of time writing about (and watching) TV, my true passion lies in watching theatre (which I don’t review because I don’t want to turn something I love so deeply into a job – although I’m happy to offer recommendations should anyone want some). So, when I was in London […]
So, I’m a bit late to the party when it comes to AMC+’s excellent adaptation of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire. But boy am I glad I hopped on board this particular train, because let me tell you – you are really missing out if you’re not watching this exceptional series. Is it campy? […]

This post continues this analysis, noting how the last […]
Originally I hadn’t been planning on writing this article, but when putting together my list of the top 20 anime for 2024, I realized that many had yuri themes, either as romantic or platonic yuri, so this article made more sense. Specifically, Pon no Michi, Metallic Rouge, Madlax, Train to the End of the World, […]
Streaming was seen to be a game changer for the entertainment industry. It was meant to usher in a new era where most content would be available online and make cinemas and physical media obsolete. This bright future has not come to pass and now we are starting to see signs of the streaming crunch. […]
On paper, Hacks seems like a deceptively simple comedy. Pair an older, well-known and battle-tested actor (that would be the great Jean Smart) with a young, relatively unknown actor (that would Hannah Einbinder, who, much like her character, has only grown in strength as the series has played out) and base the show’s comedy on […]
Now that I have completed my watch of the seven English language seasons of The Traitors currently available to us in the US (all seasons discussed below are streaming on Peacock – well worth the money to snag the streaming service, for reasons I’ve outlined in previous reviews), I come to you with a definitive […]
