At this point, it’s a cliche to say that these are difficult times we’re living in. So much of how we interact with the world has changed out of necessity, with many things still up in the air and evolving every day. While the majority of the pop-cultural spotlight has been cast on the movie […]
Kieran and Jean talk about their love and appreciation for all things Tolkien
The second season of This Way Up has come to its conclusion on British television. The season’s finale is one of the best episodes the series has ever produced. Aine receives the tragic news that her friend from rehab, Tom, has killed himself. She sets out to pay her respects and his death makes Aine try and set things […]
CODA is a formulaic and syrupy sweet film. It’s also perfectly designed to be a crowd pleaser – and it’s nearly impossible to not become charmed by its wonderful cast and the familiar path of its story. In short, you will almost certainly find yourself swept away by this story of a young woman who […]
Films based on TV shows are a staple of the British film industry. BBC Three’s People Just Do Nothing is the latest show to get the cinematic treatment. It has been three years since the Kurupt FM boys have split up and gone their separate ways. During that time one of their songs has been used […]

Joe was another one of these toy-based cartoons and Paramount and MGM have attempted to reboot the movie series. Snake Eyes (Henry Golding) watched his father being killed when he was a child. As an adult, Snake Eyes […]
When I found out that Nine Perfect Strangers was adapted from a book (and that it was from Liane Moriarty, who also wrote Big Little Lies), many of the limited series’ shortfalls began to make sense – what can work on the page, and lend some depth to characters and stories, doesn’t always translate well […]
The fourth episode of This Way Up’s second season was disappointing because it was a nothing episode. The follow-up episode was a big improvement as it was filled with character drama. It’s Shona’s Hen Do, but it has to be a scaled-back affair due to the rise of the Coronavirus. Vish drops a bombshell on […]
When one hears that Taika Waititi has a new half hour series on FX (or, if you’ve cut the cord, FX on Hulu), your initial reaction might be to assume it’s another comedy a la What We Do in the Shadows (which will be returning to both FX and Hulu this fall for season three). […]
