I’m almost willing to bet a substantial amount of money on the possibility that I’m the only one on this entire staff, let alone the readership that remembers this show. Even as a child, self-absorbed to the point of self-rectal-disappearance, I was painfully aware of how unpopular it was. I mean, sure it was popular […]

There’s an adage amongst gamers that when it comes to long-running series, the first one any given person plays will always be their favourite. I don’t necessarily think that’s true in my case – the oft-cited example is the Final Fantasy series, and my favourite game in that series isn’t the first one I played. […]

In 2001, while I withered my youth away in secondary school, I picked up a little bit of an addiction. Truthfully, I watched Samurai Jack to the point of near obsession, even going so far as to keep a babysitting job with what was possibly Ireland’s creepiest father for the sole purpose of watching the show.

The first comic that I remember falling into my hands was this old, somewhat faded copy of a story about a hobbit. A few months prior to Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films exploded on to the big screen, I was entrusted with the family copy of J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit (I don’t know […]

There’s a line of a theme song, in a cartoon, older than the oldest VHS I still presently own, that has floated around in my brain for the longest time. To my own mind, it sounds out of tune. It has no words but is comprised of a few simple clicks of the fingers followed […]

Initial Release: Somehow we always seem to circle back to the king of our sadly forgotten childhoods, Don Bluth. Maybe not so much for boys growing up, but for girls this was a widely watched film and I can remember it was always shown on the television anytime it was a school or public holiday. Perhaps […]
