Eve and Lou Ruview – Drag Race UK episode 4 and 5
Episode 4 It’s episode four, and you know what that means…GIRL GROUP CHALLENGE!!! It’s got a lot to live up to from last season and the iconic UK Hun? Following her win last week, Scarlett Harlett gets to be team captain, and so does Vanity Milan after winning another lip-sync. Scarlett choses Kitty Scott Claus, […]
Falling in love with Daisies
‘This film is dedicated to all those whose sole source of indignation is a trampled-on trifle.’ The final line of Chytilová’s brilliantly eclectic, infectious film seems to be written in anticipation of its condemnation by, among others, the Czechoslovak Communist Party. If you’re more concerned with the destruction of a trifle than the real world, […]
Eve and Lou Ruview: Drag Race UK episode 3
It’s (already!) episode three and the competition is heating up. And by that, I mean 2 queens were sent home this week. Starting on a sad note, Victoria Scone had to exit the competition. I’m not ashamed to admit that I did tear up, even though I knew it was going to happen, it was […]
The Romance of Hounds of Love
Raised in Kent, the county dubbed as the Garden of England, it is easy to be swept up by the wide expanses of green fields and glimmering blue seascapes. Perhaps that is why I have always felt such an affinity for the works of the Romantics, with Wordsworth, in particular, capturing my imagination; there is […]
Eve and Lou Ruview: Drag Race UK 3 (episodes 1+2)
It’s Thursday night and Drag Race is back baby!!! Even though it’s only been four weeks since All Stars 6 finished (woop woop Kylie!!), and it’s only another two until Drag Race Canada starts, we’ve missed our weekly drag race fix. And it only makes sense that Eve and I, two people who have absolutely […]
PORTAL 2 – STUPIDITY IS A PORTAL SIN
This week, Morgan reviews Portal 2, mainly as motivation to get out of bed in the morning You know me, I consider the day wasted if I haven’t discovered three plots to kill me by lunchtime. At worst, the whole week is a bust if I can’t play a game that involves obliterating fifteen terrorists […]
The “Time Well Wasted” Video Game Roundup (2020-2021)
Morgan delivers his final judgements on the games he’s reviewed this academic year, just to cram it down your throat one last time. If there’s one thing popular review series have taught me, it’s that you can’t end the year (or in this case, the academic year) without some sort of list detailing the best […]
DEATH ROAD TO CANADA – “ARE WE THERE YET?”
This week, Morgan further plans for the zombie apocalypse via video game, despite the fact that he would no doubt be the first one to die. I’m tired of this, Steam. You tease good games, then try to pawn them off for full price when I can get them for at least half the cost […]
‘My Emancipation Don’t Fit Your Equation’ Album Review: Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
In a genre that seemed to revolve around binaries – Black versus white, east coast versus west coast, and queens versus hoes – in 1998 a twenty-something, up-and-coming hip-hop artist released an album that would transcend dichotomies and strict categorisation, embracing the messy grey area in-between. Ms. Lauryn Hill or L-Boogie was, and is, a […]
Zack Snyder’s Justice League: Tragedy and Triumph
In November of 2017, Warner Bros. Released Justice League in theatres across the world. It was critically maligned, likely due to a tragic and reportedly tumultuous production. The box office take was mediocre and the fans were angry. On March 18th, 2021, the director’s cut of the film, entitled Zack Synder’s Justice League, was released […]
Rom-Com Recommendations
I’ve always loved rom-coms and I’m too embarrassed to admit just how many of them I’ve seen. They’re funny, light-hearted and they don’t take themselves too seriously much like myself. And to be honest if I were to be trapped in a rom-com like Isn’t it Romantic you wouldn’t find me complaining! Far from it. All that singing and those silly romantic conundrums sound like a blast! So, I’ve narrowed down the list of rom-coms to my top four so […]
Doom Eternal – And an Article Full of Animal Similes
This week, Morgan willingly plays Doom Eternal, as his fragile ego has been threatened and he needs to feel better about himself Anyone remember March 2020? Yeah, that was wild, wasn’t it? It marked an earth-shattering event that has shaped society for the entire twelve months since: Animal Crossing and Doom Eternal, two of the […]
The Surprising Success of WandaVision
Coming off the back of Avengers Endgame, Marvel Studies took a swift change of directions, departing for a list of Disney + projects that attempted to interplay the realm of cinema to the small screen of television and distancing itself from the range of branded productions that dominated Netflix queues for years. It’s safe to […]
Netflix vs Amazon Prime – Which Is Better?
Gone are the days of buying a DVD or VHS from HMV or begging your parents to buy a paper view movie from Sky Box Office. As the Pandemic has progressed the more that Netflix and Amazon Prime have become a part of our lives. Everyone remembers the rise of “Tiger King” in March/April of […]
Soma – Soma-ny Horror Games, So Little Time
This week, Morgan plays another horror game, in an attempt to get some use out of his health insurance. We share a complicated relationship, horror games and I. They seem an ideal choice for a man who has not felt a single emotion since hitting puberty, but then I get around to playing one, and […]
Five Great Biopics to Watch Because I Told You So
In finding a topic for this article I found myself thinking back on some of the films I’ve watched and re-watched over this year-long quarantine period. In that rumination, I found a bit of a trend – I happen to watch a lot of biopics. So, allow me to yell at you in a textual […]
Half-Life 2 – Does It Hold Up?
This week, Morgan reviews Half-Life 2, in order to feel like he’s actually contributing to society. I’m really about to stumble into the lion enclosure here, aren’t I? It’s a shame I didn’t do this review back before Christmas; it would have been the ideal way to thin out my social circle fast and not […]
A Love Letter to Noah Kahan’s Busyhead
At first glance Noah Kahan seems to fit seamlessly into the tradition of artists such as James Blunt, James Bay, and all the other James’ who make up Spotify playlists like “Coffeeshop Feels” and “Cozy Autumn Leaves.” While I’m an avid listener of the James’ and admittedly have about four variations of playlists devoted to […]
