Doctor Who – ‘Fugitive of the Judoon’ Review

What an episode! The return of the Judoon ended up being the least of this episode’s surprises. Captain Jack is back and better than ever, there’s something going on with a cyberman, the Timelords have made a return, and most importantly, there’s a new Doctor.

We Just Watched… The Two Popes (2019)

Based on true events, The Two Popes follows the meeting of Pope Benedict XVI (Anthony Hopkins) and the future Pope Francis (Jonathan Pryce), two men with wildly different interpretations of the Catholic faith and very separate ideas of how the church should adapt to the ever-changing modern world.

Uncut Gems (2020) Review

‘Uncut Gems’ is a deeply unpleasant experience that I wholeheartedly recommend. Starring Adam Sandler in a performance that definitely should have got him an Oscar nomination, the film moves at a million miles a minute and never lets up.

Doctor Who – ‘Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror’ Review

After last week’s misfire of an episode, I was nervous for this one. But Jodie Whittaker’s era of Doctor Who has been commended for its historical episodes, a kind of episode that the show all-too-often messes up. And with an interesting premise around Nikola Tesla and America’s gilded age, this episode has a lot going for it.

We Just Watched… 1917 (2020)

in ‘1917’, Sam Mendes shows Christopher Nolan how it’s meant to be done. Shot in a much-discussed ‘single take’, it’s as much a horror film as a war film.

What I’m Reading – ‘We Stand On Guard’ by Brian K. Vaughan, Steve Skroce, and Matt Hollingsworth

We’ve seen countless times how The United States of America deals with threats, but this comic asks us to consider the question; what if that threat was a little closer to home? Would you feel the same?

It’s a knockout story that’s well-worth reading, now more than ever.

Doctor Who – ‘Orphan 55’ Review

After winning a holiday (just go with it) the gang are teleported to a scenic holiday resort – that just happens to have been built on the surface of a dead planet. It’s a mixed bag, but has a twist that makes it worth watching.

We Just Watched… Jojo Rabbit (2020)

‘Jojo Rabbit’ is the latest film from the one and only Taika Waititi – and tackles the toughest subject matter. But with a talented young cast and buckets of charm, he pulls it off. Here are our thoughts.

We Just Watched… The Lure (Córki Dancingu) (2015)

This 2015 horror/fantasy/musical is bizarre in a way not many other films can quite achieve. Following the tragic tale of two aquatic sisters through the dancing clubs of the 1980s, things very quickly take a turn for the gruesome.

The Witcher Episode 8 Review – ‘Much More’

After eight episodes, the first season of The Witcher is at an end. Along the way it became the biggest show in the world, something I’m not sure anyone anticipated. But how did it wrap it all up? Was it a satisfying conclusion? I’d argue that by illuminating some of the details missing from the books, and because of that touching final scene, it was a huge success.
