Well, the penultimate episode of Moon Knight was far more concerned with explaining just what turned Marc Spector into Steven Grant than it was with taking steps to solve any of the key narrative arcs the show set-up at its outset. Which is all well and good, if you were looking for an MCU series […]
Kieran Freemantle and Jean Henegan discuss the issue of LGBT representation in film and TV
When starting a new series, there’s, understandably, a good deal of world and character building to complete before the story can really get underway. After all, if we don’t care at least a bit about our central characters and understand who they are and what they want, how can we appreciate the dangers, drama, and […]
We’re a third of the way through Moon Knight and I’m starting to think the shine is already wearing off the apple with this one. Taking into account that this is essentially an origin story mixed with an world-saving adventure (which I think might be a bit more than can be covered within a six […]
After one episode, I’m convinced the only reason Moon Knight will succeed – if it succeeds – is due to the charisma of Oscar Isaac.

We’re now halfway through The Book of Boba Fett and I’m still not 100% sure just what the series is trying to do. So far, we’ve seen a complex and interesting story of Fett’s past – escape from the Sarlacc Pit, learning at the side of the Tuskens, deciding he wanted to be a part […]
The more I watch The Book of Boba Fett, the more it reminds me of the first season of The Mandalorian: the slow, methodical pacing and the solo gunslinger fighting against darker forces trying to right a wrong – all while building up a team of allies he can use to succeed in his mission. […]
As interesting as it may be that there are new Hutts on the scene in Tatooine – and it is certainly interesting to see just how these cousins of Jabba are going to throw their considerable weight around in the coming episodes – the highlight of the second episode of The Book of Boba Fett […]
