Even though it’s been out for less than a day at the time of writing this, I feel like the ending of Dot & Bubble will get talked about much more than the rest of the episode. The final five minutes are fantastic, and I will get to them, but […]

Doctor Who (2024) 73 Yards – A Genre-Bending and Potentially Era-Defining Episode (Review)
If you’re a Doctor Who fan, you’ve heard of the phrase “Doctor-lite story” and know what it refers to. It’s an episode that features minimal appearances from the Doctor (and in most cases the main companion as well), instead focusing on another group of characters battling a monster or some […]
Doctor Who (2024) Boom: An Adrenaline-Fuelled Comeback For Steven Moffat (Review)
Much like how I never thought we’d see the return of Russell T. Davies to Doctor Who in any capacity, nevermind showrunner, I never thought we’d see Steven Moffat returning to pen an episode. Back in Russell’s first stint in the showrunner chair, Moffat was the show’s most revered guest writer, […]
Tina Turner in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome – Episode 120
Back with a vengeance! Yes, ahead of the release of Furiosa, we’re looking at the Mad Max movie that features the most legendary pop star in the whole series (well, apart from the Doof Warrior): Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Initially reviled for its lighter tone and child sidekicks, the film […]
Doctor Who (2024): The Devil’s Chord – A High-Energy and Bombastic but Inconsistent Episode (REVIEW)
I may seem like I’m contradicting the point I made in my Space Babies review about not being as obsessed over the show as I used to be, but I was one of the few who stayed up in the ungodly hours of the night to catch the midnight release […]
Doctor Who (2024) Space Babies: A Strange but Suitable Opener for The Series (Review)
For this series of Doctor Who, I’ve tried my best to go in as blind as I can. It’s a little hard to do, especially when I’ve been plugged into the Doctor Who Twitter for the last eight years, and I have seen some rumours of things that may happen, […]
My Experience At Comic-Con North East
Since becoming a fan of Doctor Who as a kid and later on other TV and film series like Red Dwarf, I’ve been intermittently going to conventions and events for about ten years now. Of course, I had to combat the balance between autographs and kids’ pocket money (which I […]
Ice Cube in Boyz n the Hood – Episode 118
John Singleton was 21 – 21! – when he made one of the most acclaimed debuts of the 1990s, one which led to him becoming the first African-American to get a Best Director nomination at the Oscars. It would be the perfect punchline if it was bad, but annoyingly for […]
Doctor Jekyll (2023): Entertaining Reinterpretation of Classic Story (Review)
The world premiere of Doctor Jekyll at Frightfest 2023 (which I was able to attend) began with director Joe Stephenson announcing he was about to go into a meeting to find out whether Hammer would still be producers on the movie. By the end of the screening, it was confirmed […]
Doctor Who: The Giggle (2023) – A Fantastic (for now) Collision of Past, Present and Future (Review)
After a short but sweet run of 60th anniversary specials, the era of the Fourteenth Doctor is over and Ncuti Gatwa is now officially the iconic Time Lord, though this handover process hasn’t happened in the usual way. We will get to this in due course, never fear, because there […]
