In honor of the late, great Wes Craven, I decided to revisit some of his legacy for this week’s Screen Savers.

All these years we’ve wondered just exactly what kind of cake Princess Peach baked in order to get Mario to the castle in Super Mario 64 and now we know! While Mario and the team were busy on the karting tracks we snuck into the castle (toad guards are useless!) and pinched the recipe, seriously […]

Everyone loves a good Disney musical, hell, most people even love mediocre Disney musicals. That feel good happy ending that many production companies might make overly sugary, Disney can always pull off with class.

I don’t know why but today is a day for Pokémon. It might be something to do with the mind blowing, life changing, [insert other totally dramatic phrase here!] that a new Pokémon game is on the way called Pokémon Go or maybe it has something to do with the fact that I’ve done nothing else today […]

When I was a teenager my love of comic books met my love of audio drama in the BBC Shop in London. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw three double cassette tape sets with Batman, Superman and Spider-Man on the cover.

Before any new series of Doctor Who begins, I find a little quiet time to watch some of my old favourites. The much maligned Sylvester McCoy was my first Doctor. Yes, I know that his interpretation of the famous Time Lord is decidedly weaker than the rest but, if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be […]
