Whachu Doin’ This Week… Ian?

After returning from Dublin and birthday celebrations, I needed to face reality. I’m no longer a youngster; at the age of twenty-four, change was necessary. My first action? Binging on Netflix! Television This week I found out that one my favourite shows, IZombie, is releasing new episodes on UK Netflix. For those of you who haven’t had a look, […]

Star Wars Celebration Honours Carrie Fisher With Video Tribute

Today Star Wars Celebration went into full swing, giving us this amazing trailer for The Last Jedi. Unfortunately, with all the cast together, Carrie Fisher’s loss was more apparent than ever. None were more aware of this than George Lucas, who at the close of the celebration marking the 40th anniversary, presented a tribute to […]

First Trailer For The Mist TV Series Available

Fans of Stephen King may recall his 1980 novella The Mist and its film adaptation in 2008. The alien, oftentimes gritty story blended together inter-dimensional horror with a long hard look at human nature in crisis. Now, however, Christian Torpe is adapting the story to television, shifting the focus from monsters within to without. Thorpe explained to EW: “We establish different […]

Cú Chulainn Movie In The Works

Exciting though it may be, it’s probably fair to say Irish folklore doesn’t get much big screen attention. Aside from the work of Tomm Moore (Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea), few examples spring to mind. Waterford based filmmaker Paul Bolger aims to change this with plans to put Cú Chulainn on the big screen. The […]

Track of the Day- Ecstasy of Steel, Samurai Jack Season 5

*This article contains spoilers for the latest episode of Samurai Jack, read at your own risk!*  I couldn’t help but see Samurai Jack as a Western film in disguise when I first watched it. Jack’s endless wanderings, his stoic approach to his many failures and the ‘high noon’ fight scenes added to this.  However, there’s […]

11 Signs You Grew Up With Superheroes

You’ve tried moving objects with your mind. Just in case. You have thought extensively about what your costume would be. On that same subject, you personally own at least one cape. You’ve pretended to be Wolverine using stationary and other household items more than once. You’ve seen cities get blown up way too many times for […]

The Irish Connections of Sherlock Holmes

I’ve been a fan of Sherlock Holmes for a long time now. I’ve been meaning to get on to Basil Rathbone but my personal favourite is probably Johnny Lee Miller. Since my Masters dissertation involves Fenianism in Victorian fiction, I’ve been reading a lot of Sherlock Holmes stories lately..The findings so far have shown a large amount of […]

Redwall – Saturday Morning Cartoons

Stretching my mind back to the early 2000s, before we had Cartoon Network or Nicktoons on the telly, there wasn’t much in the way of good cartoons when I was a boy. Usually, I’d rely on the imported animations provided by the Disney Club (may Mary Kingston live forever!) However, I can just about remember […]

Rogue One Sequel Novel Will Be Named Inferno Squad

Anyone who saw Rogue One wouldn’t be surprised at LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy’s announcement that the film was a standalone project. The movie’s conclusion stressed the self-contained nature of the story, leaving little room for a sequel. Nevertheless, a sequel (or a midquel if we’re counting A New Hope) is due for release in novel form. […]

Keanu Reeves Plays Cannibal Cult Leader In The Bad Batch

Check out the trailer for the grisly new film The Bad Batch! Directed by Ana Lily Amirpour, the film takes place in a post-apocalyptic America. The film follows the exploits of Arlen (Suki Waterhouse), a young woman left in the wasteland of Texas. The basis of the film’s dystopian tone seems to be abandonment. In […]
