Review: Mega Time Squad
Blu-ray: Mega Time Squad (2018)I love time travel films. Time After Time, 12 Monkeys, Peggy Sue Got Married, The Terminator, Safety Not Guaranteed, all of them have that quirky ‘What would you do, if you could go back in time’? vibe going on.In Mega Time Squad, John (Anton Tennet) would rob a shit load of […]
Review: Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps DLC
Spider-Man returns with a brand-new story called The City That Never Sleeps. But how does the downloadable content (DLC) stack up against the main game? I’m sure if you’ve already checked out my review of Spider-Man (and if you haven’t then click here) you’ll know that I absolutely loved it! I was keen to carry […]
Review: No Orchids for Miss Blandish
Blu-ray: No Orchids for Miss Blandish (1948) No Orchids for Miss Blandish from the infamous novel by James Hadley Chase and directed by St. John Legh Clowes, is a largely forgotten film now, but at the time of its release it caused an outcry because of its then hardcore violence. Starring Jack La Rue, Hugh […]

Review: Bellman and True
Blu-ray: Bellman and True (1987) Based on the novel of the same name by Desmond Lowden, Bellman and True is a film I’d not only never seen, but never heard of. But true to form Powerhouse Films and their Indicator series of releases have a way of bringing ‘forgotten films’ back to life. To date […]

The first series premiered in June 2012 and became quickly became BBC Two’s best-performing drama series in ten years […]

Has it really been 4 years since my Son and I attended the PLAY Expo in Blackpool!? With him much taller and myself much greyer, we set of to the Manchester Central Convention Complex for a fun filled day where 8 hours went by in a flash of gaming, laughing, buying merchandise, watching shows, and […]
Review: The Annihilators
Blu-ray: The Annihilators (1985) I LOVE b-movie action flicks from the 1980’s (listen to our ‘Decade of Decadence’ shows to hear myself and Thom wax lyrical about many of these gems) and The Annihilators is a classic within this niche genre. You want Vietnam veterans on a revenge mission? Check. You want a bad guy […]
Review: Spider-Man
I think it’s fair to say that 2018 was another good year for PS4 exclusives. Detroit: Become Human received mostly positive reviews despite being a David Cage game. The incredible God of War showed old, and new fans, there was more to Kratos than ripping heads off and a shagging mini-game. Could Spider-Man round off […]
Review: The Grand Duel
Blu-ray: The Grand Duel (1972) The Grand Duel (Il Grande Duello), directed by Giancarlo Santi (who had previously worked as Sergio Leone’s assistant director on The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Once Upon a Time in the West), is a quirky, little known Spaghetti western, boasting the usual multi-national cast (German, American, Spanish, […]
