If my glowing review of the Doctor Who Christmas special back in December was any indication, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the official start of the latest season of Who for a couple of months now. I’ve been a fan of Ncuti Gatwa’s for a bit now, and his take on the Fifteenth Doctor has, so […]

Hailey’s On It! Spoiler-Filled Review
Hailey’s On It! is a comedy-adventure animated series by Devin Bunje and Nick Stanto. Both are well-known writers and producers. This is the first animated series they’ve created together. Both wrote on series such as Phineas and Ferb and The Replacements. This is the 95th animated TV show produced by Disney Television Animation, since its […]
X-Men ’97 – Fire Made Flesh Review
So, it turned it we got the (extremely truncated) Madelyne Pryor story arc this week – complete with little Nathan Summers getting sent to the future to save his life (which won’t screw him up in any way, no siree!) and Mister Sinister returning to try and manipulate Madelyne and Nathan to do his bidding. […]
X-Men ’97 Review
When I was a child, Saturday morning wasn’t complete without watching that week’s episode of X-Men. As someone who didn’t really follow comics growing up (my dad was a big DC fan, but I never got much into that lore – and back then, Marvel wasn’t anything like it is today). But I loved the […]
Studios, Corporate Greed and Hollywood’s Crisis
Over the past decade, the entertainment industry has seen drastic changes. There has been the rise of streaming services, a focus on big-budget films based on recognisable intellectual property, and an increase in digital media sales at the cost of physical media.

The Kingdom of Rosas is a peaceful paradise, ruled by the benevolent King Magnifico (Chris Pine). Everyone on Rosas gives King Magnifico their wish on their 18th birthday and once a […]
Echo Review
When the news dropped back in 2023 that Echo, the limited series starring Alaqua Cox as the title character – reprising the role she briefly played in 2021’s limited series Hawkeye – would be dropped in a single batch of five episodes (a first for a Disney+ MCU series), rumors started swirling that the series […]
What If? Season Two Review
I will admit to not be a huge fan of season one of What If?, the animated MCU series that allowed for a bit of fun to emerge into the convoluted world of Marvel – and that allowed some of our dearly departed characters the chance to appear in some more stories (even if not […]
Doctor Who – The Church on Ruby Road Review
You know your enjoying the latest incarnation of Doctor Who when your only complaint is that the latest sonic screwdriver is a bridge too far in terms of qualifying as anything in the realm of a “screwdriver.” Because that is such a minor quibble to have in terms of the story, characters, and aesthetic of […]
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Review
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is built on a pretty interesting premise: What would happen if, in modern times, the children of the Greek gods were made aware of their parentage and found themselves in a tug-of-war between various gods for control of Mount Olympus? After all, what adolescent – and despite broad appeal, these […]
