I usually have the same levels of anticipation for a new Adam Sandler movie as what I reserve for invasive dental surgery, but I must admit that I I have a perverse curiosity about Ridiculous 6. The first movie produced as part of Sandler’s Netflix deal, the comedy-western made headlines earlier in the year due to controversial racist jokes that …

But we can all get a head start …
Marvel’s Phase One Collection box-set was a thing of geeky beauty. Unfortunately, it was too big to fit in a Christmas sock, which is the only reason why none of you bought it for me, right? RIGHT?! Well, this Christmas I’ve upgraded from a Christmas sock, to a Christmas Alwynne’s boxer shorts, so trust me, there’s plenty of room for …

The Oscar-winner’s spin on the Clown Prince of Crime in the upcoming Suicide Squad has already drawn its fair share of detractors for its gaudy tattoos and grill, but I have to admit that there’s something kind of creepy about it all. You know, “creepy” in a zombie male model at …
