Giant is a biopic about the famous lightweight boxer Naseem Hamed, told through the eyes of his manager/trainer, Brendan Ingle. Brendan Ingle (Pierce Brosnan) runs a boxing club in the Wincobank district of Sheffield. After stopping some National Front thugs harassing a local shop, Ingle meets the Hamed family and Mrs Hamed (Elika Ashoori), asks […]
Hijack Season Two Review
The first season of Hijack, the AppleTV thriller starring Idris Elba as a corporate negotiator stuck on a hijacked plane – where his family on the ground is also placed in danger to help ensure his compliance with the hijackers – wasn’t anything particularly special. Certainly not special enough to warrant a second season – […]
Corriedale Review
Corriedale is already considered one of the biggest soap events of 2026, which is remarkable considering the year has only just started. The crossover sees ITV’s big soaps come together for the first time. A massive car accident happens on a stretch of road in the Yorkshire Dales. This event happens due to loads of […]
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Review
Despite what you might have heard or deduced from that truly unfortunate poster Paramount released late last year, I’m here to tell you that Starfleet Academy is not a bad show. It’s also not a good show. It’s actually a very frustrating show with some serious tonal issues, particularly in early episodes. But when it’s […]
A year of “Yuridemption”?: LGBTQ+ Representation in Animation in 2025 [Part 3]
In the last part of this series, I focused on series such as #1 Happy Family USA, Oh My God… Yes!, Maebashi Witches, Lazarus, Once Upon a Witch’s Death, There’s No Freaking Way I’ll be Your Lover! Unless…, and A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof, and films like Princess Principal Crown Handler Chapter 4. There […]
We Bury the Dead Review
While the zombie movie refuses to die, it’s certainly not thriving. In the years since the onset of COVID-19, only a handful of films featuring the archetypal monster in one form or another get released every year, and vanishingly few cause a stir. It should come as no surprise that audiences cannot get excited about […]
Marty Supreme Review
Marty Supreme is a sports drama loosely inspired by the life of table tennis player Marty Reisman. It is seen as one of the leading award contenders of the 2026 season. Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet) is a New York shoe salesman and a table tennis player, who’s set to play in the British Open in […]
A year of “Yuridemption”?: LGBTQ+ Representation in Animation in 2025 [Part 2]
In my last part of this series, I talked about LGBTQ+ representation in animation in 2025, from January to mid-April. This post will cover from mid-April to mid-September, focusing on series such as #1 Happy Family USA, Oh My God… Yes!, Maebashi Witches, Lazarus, Once Upon a Witch’s Death, You and Idol Pretty Cure, and A […]
The Reckless AI Boom
AI, it’s impossible to escape the word if you follow the news. It’s the technology that’s revolutionising the economy, causing a stock market boom, and is set to replace workers. There have been products like ChatGPT, Sora, and Midjourney released, and most tech companies have developed some sort of AI product. However, the technology has […]
Stranger Things – The Rightside Up Review
For a series that riffed a whole heck of a lot on 80s films, Stranger Things, in the end, opted to mirror a more recent film in its actual ending – offering a host of mini-endings a la The Return of the King (which, of course, starred the dearly departed Bob – Sean Astin). And boy, […]
