Is This Thing On? (2025)
I had a choice this week. I could use my art-house cinema pass to watch a film about grief, or I could go to the city centre multiplex and watch “Is This Thing On?”

The Last of Us: Season 2 — Review
After a highly praised first season, The Last of Us: Season 2 arrives burdened with high expectations—expectations it unfortunately struggles to meet. While the ambition to adapt one of the most controversial and emotionally rich narratives in video game history is admirable, the season falters under the weight of its own storytelling choices. Rather than deepening the characters and moral complexity that defined the source material, the show delivers a disjointed, emotionally flat, and thematically diluted version of a far more compelling story.

Fallout Series Review (Season 2)
After so many underwhelming video game adaptations, Fallout showed everyone how was it done with a knockout opening season in 2024. The second chapter takes a firmer grip on the source material, directly incorporating the lore into the main narrative. For the most part, it’s every bit as effective and engaging as the original.

Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
The first two episodes of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms were a little hard for me to get through. I don’t mind a lack of action if the character arcs are doing a decent job of carrying the story. But the main character Dunc is super annoying and extremely frustrating to watch. The only reason I am even continuing with it is because Egg is a little cutie patootie and I will power through to see his story unfold.

Wonderman
Wonderman was dropped all at once, because the powers that be have no faith in the general public, and I understand that but I think that anyone with an IQ above 10 would have been fine with a week to week release. That said the show is very intriguing so far, it's done a great job of setting things up in these first two episodes.

The Internship
We all know the worst yet most entertaining films are not the ones released in theaters but the ones quietly released on various streaming services and never acknowledged. In that vein, until the industry starts doing some wide releases, our 2026 coverage will be pulled from those obscure places.

Before Shadow, we were going to get Terios
What do Sonic and Shadow have in common? They are both hedgehogs, and they're both super-fast. However, there's a saying that they look alike, but I beg to differ you can clearly see they are so different from each other. Almost like Sonic and Shadow balance each other out. One is Yin, the other is Yang. I wanted to know why the character Amy constantly mistakes Shadow for Sonic. And being a complete nerd, I did some research, and the reason behind this whole thing of Sonic and Shadow supposedly looking exactly alike is because of the prototype of the character Terios the hedgehog. That was designed to be Sonic’s rival, figuratively speaking. Shadow wasn't supposed to exist; he was a last-minute change. Here's what I mean: Terios is literally a replica, you could say a mirror, because his name, in Japanese, means "reflection" or "imitation". He is primarily known as a piece of "lost" Sonic history that reappeared as an unlockable skin for Shadow in Sonic x Shadow Generations, It's good to see the prototype actually got some time in the gaming, even though it was put back in storage.

Kenton of the Star Patrol: A review of Stories: Vampires of the Void, and Serein's of Space
In this episode of the 1950s Science Fiction Podcast, the host reviews two early 1950s pre-code comic stories featuring Wilson Keaton from "Star Patrol" in "Strange Worlds." In “Vampires of the Void,” Keaton battles Queen Misery, who uses humans to power her planet’s generators. In “Sirens of Space,” Keaton confronts a queen who hypnotizes and enslaves space liner passengers with her voice. Both stories highlight classic pulp sci-fi action, inventive villains, and pre-code comic edginess, while the host reflects on the era’s storytelling and ethical themes.
