It’s possible to see several things from space: Our effect on the planet, parts of South Africa currently experiencing load-shedding and my excitement for Star Wars: Rebels making a return to the small screen. With the first season done and dusted, the show is ready to kick it into a high gear. No more establishing boundaries, rules or scenarios, as …
I don’t know about you guys, but back in my day, our hatred of celebrities was settled not on Twitter or through FaceBook stalking, but in vicious, bloody bouts where at least one A-lister would die every week.

I may not understand American football, but I do understand that the TV landscape is changing. And when you’ve got the bankable charisma of Jabronie-smackin’ peoples champ on your show, you know that your network has plugged a ton of cash into a new series. So what happens when you mix Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson with said sort-of-rugby and a …
Man, that season finale is starting to pick up speed.

If your parents were irresponsible and didn’t pay attention to what you watched, then chances are that you grew up watching an episode or two of The X-Files that terrified the sleep out of you, or the ability to get out of bed to go and take a wizz in the middle of the night. And that’s …
I don’t know about you guys, but I like the Friday The 13th reboot that popped up back in 2009. With a meaner, stronger Jason who didn’t lumber around like a drunk uncle, the film had a certain sense of menace in the air. It was also filled to the brim with references to the older movies, which shows just …
One-Punch Man is a crazy series where fights are decided with a single blow. And that cult favourite comic is about to be adapted into anime form.
Despite being wrong 110% of the time, I still have to suffer a daily debate with Kervyn about why Mr Mxypytzlyk could take the Living Tribunal in a fight. If that sounds like something nerdy enough to make your chest sprout a pocket protector, then you most likely have encountered such nerd arguments before. They’re also a massive waste of …
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
