Superhero movies have dominated our box office for the good part of the last decade now, with each month bringing us some fresh new hero or sequel. But what we really don’t talk about enough, or heap the praise on that we should, is Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. A trifecta of films charting what a […]

At the San Diego Comic-Con in 2019, Kevin Feige unveiled the grand plan for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Phase 4. At the heart of the announcement was Disney Plus, a streaming service from the Mouse House. The service won’t just serve as a home for the past and future MCU films, but also for […]

For those of us who have been watching WandaVision, the fantastic Disney+ TV series based in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), we have recently been treated by something new. For the first time, the MCU have included a Marvel Comic organisation known as S.W.O.R.D. It’s always wonderful getting something new from the MCU, but usually […]

Nvidia’s impressive new RTX 3000 series have already spawned several new gaming laptops. It’s a clear indication of the reducing gap between Team Green and AMD. But just how good are these Nvidia-powered machines? It turns out that they are pretty impressive! If you are a serious gamer, then you should be considering getting an […]

If 2020 has shown the United Kingdom anything, it is our political system in all of its satirical glory. One particular sitcom that springs to mind is The Thick of It, created by Armando Iannucci in 2005, and finishing in 2012. Now, the show seems to serve as a repetitive blueprint for viewers to identify […]

Apple’s ecosystem is without a doubt one of the widest in the market. Covering everything from phones to laptops, and speakers to wearables, all your Apple devices play well with each other (bugs aside). Now, a new feature in iOS 14.5 beta takes it to a whole new level.  It’s something so small, but yet […]

The Hunger Games has, for a while now, been one of my favourite book series and I love the films as well. However, considering the series is literally called “The Hunger Games”, we only really get snippets of what the actual Hunger Games are like from Katniss Everdeen’s own viewpoint (quite literally in the books, […]

Call of Duty has become somewhat of a household name, whether you’re interested in gaming or not, it’s become difficult to escape. Developed by Infinity Ward, Activision published the first title in the series back in 2003, titled Call of Duty. But it wasn’t until 2007 when the series became what it is today with […]

With cinemas shut (at least here in the UK)  and few new movies around right now, there’s plenty of time to catch up with past movies and rewatch old favourites. We decided to turn the clock back 10 years, see what was happening in movies in 2011 and choose some of our favourites of the […]

When people think of the best film/TV franchises of all time, there are a number that spring to mind. Franchises such as Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Harry Potter etc. One that I think isn’t considered enough in this debate is the Indiana Jones franchise, which turns 40 years old in 2021. Even […]

Inauguration Day seems like the perfect day to talk about The West Wing. After all the show has an episode called Inauguration Day. Political leaders have arguably never been more scrutinized thanks to rolling news coverage and social media. Their active participation on social platforms only increases the attention on them. So, 1999, when The […]

In March 1981, the world saw the release of Marvel’s Dazzler #1. Previously a bit part player in the X-Men comics, Dazzler – AKA Alison Blaire – was given her very own run, and with that came a front cover to behold. From the get-go artist Bob Larkin, known for his hand-painted style, had become […]

Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down. No, those aren’t headlines referring to the end of the reign of current US President Joe Biden or reflecting on the January 6th riots in Washington DC . Carnage at the Capitol and violence on the streets of Washington sound like events from a movie, and no doubt […]

With the hype around the upcoming Lord of the Rings show (check out our predictions), House of the Dragon (see our predictions) and the billion shows announced by Disney recently, it can be easy to overlook another massive fantasy book series that is being adapted for the small screen. That series is The Wheel of […]

Facebook’s latest privacy gaffe has many people angry. So angry in fact, that they are thinking of deleting WhatsApp. We can’t blame you if you feel the same way. For years, the service has been the go-to place for our private conversations thanks to Facebook’s promise to not touch WhatsApp’s privacy policies.  Now, however, that’s […]

Marvel TV shows will form a large part of its upcoming Phase 4, following the recent announcement of a whole bunch of new shows. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has dominated the big screen for more than a decade, and whilst there are many movies to come, they are also now turning their attention to television […]

Apple’s App Store privacy labels have caused quite a storm. Since going live in December 2020, the labels have become a bone of contention, primarily between Facebook and Apple. But, as with all things Apple, developers had to yield.  Since going live, thousands of developers have updated their apps to include information they take from […]

Google and its parent company Alphabet have made headlines yet again, but this time for something their employees have done. Hundreds of workers, full-time, part-time, and contract have all come together to form the first tech workers union. The Alphabet Workers Union (AWU) was launched on 4th January (Monday), marking the biggest challenge to big […]

With what has been an incredibly tough year for many, TV has yet again shown us that it is always there to make us feel better. With lockdown, many of us have managed to get around to that show we’ve always fancied and get through our “to watch” backlogs. Although we can be optimistic about […]

It’s fair to say that 2020 has not been a normal year. For us cinephiles, it has meant far fewer cinema trips than in previous years. However, because many of us have been stuck indoors, home streaming of movies and TV shows has been more popular than ever. With that in mind, I wondered exactly […]

The best 2020 TV shows have been vital in this weird year. 2020 has been a year like no other, a long year which most of us want to be over. Because of lockdown throughout the country, we have had a lot more time on our hands.  With the extended amount of time stuck at […]

The Mandalorian, the first live-action Star Wars TV show, has been a rousing success, becoming bigger than Lucasfilm and Disney could have dreamed off, mostly on the back of Baby Yoda. On the flip side, it’s fair to say that the mixed reaction to the last two Star Wars movies, Solo and The Rise Of […]
