There has been a push over the last few years to remake classic Disney animations as live action films. The success, as you might expect, has been variable. As a result, attempts to remake these films are often regarded with concern, especially among a certain demographic of the cinema going public. The emotions attached to the […]

My favourite show at the moment is Steven Universe and, even though it has been on a break for a little while, it is truly a magical show. No show has brought me to tears so often. If you have not watched it, I implore you to watch a couple of episodes at least. I watched […]

Writing for The Arcade can sometimes make for an odd task. It’s not that I don’t like the job; far from it. However, I can never shake the nagging feeling that I am yet to earn my nerd stripes, as it were. Fortunately, this platform was founded on principles of inclusion and, in contrast, the […]

Fawlty Towers is a show I was introduced to by my dad back in 2001. Even back then the show was 26 years old, having originally come out with six episodes in 1975. These six episodes were then followed by another six in 1979 and that’s the entire story of Fawlty Towers. Two seasons with […]

In all honesty, the title ‘ Boss Rush’ could actually serve as an adequate description of Bravely Default‘s second half. The first half was absolutely brilliant, proving that despite how old and overplayed the idea is, travelling around the world to purify the four crystals of the elements can actually still work. The only problem […]
