25 years ago, Michael Jordan and Looney Tunes joined forces to defeat aliens on the basketball court. After years of development hell, a sequel has finally been released with LeBron James in the main role. LeBron James is an NBA megastar and wants his sons to follow in his footsteps. But his younger son, Dom […]
Full disclosure: I, unlike many women my age, never watched the original Gossip Girl series. Sure, I’m aware of the basics simply as someone who followed pop culture in the early 00s, but if you asked me to distinguish between Blair and Serena, I wouldn’t be able to. So, unlike I suspect many viewers (and […]
There’s nothing like a charming, quirky, and lovable television show. When you need a pick-me-up or a half hour spent with genuinely lovely characters, nothing beats a feel-good series. And last year, the show that really fit that bill was the exquisite Ted Lasso (which returns for its second season on AppleTV+ on July 23 […]
Much like death and taxes, the former NBC comedy series Friends has become a constant in modern life. For Gen X and elder Millennials, it’s a series that evokes the nostalgia of their youth; for younger Millennials and Gen Z, it’s that show they binged on Netflix and may have followed over to HBO Max […]

But it also has roots in several past Black Mirror episodes (including the […]

The long closure of cinemas and the backlog of unreleased films has led to studios looking for alternative methods of distribution. Warner Brothers planned to release most of the 2021 slate in cinemas and on HBO Max simultaneously, with films […]
Kieran Freemantle and Jean Henegan discuss the current state of the DCEU and Zack Snyder’s version of Justice League.
It’s a Sin, the sensational limited series from Russell T. Davies (the acclaimed showrunner behind the original Queer as Folk and the first four seasons of the modern Doctor Who, among others), chronicles a decade in the lives of several friends (most of whom are gay men – although there is one straight woman in […]
To say the story of Fred Hampton and the Black Panther movement of the 1960s has not been well represented in mainstream media is an understatement. We’ve allowed for this aspect of our history to be watered down and excluded from the narrative for the sake of easy consumption. As a result, there are very […]
