I’ve got a really good feeling about 2026. And that’s saying something, because 2025 has been unbelievable one of those rare years where TV genuinely felt exciting again. Big titles landed, smaller shows broke through, and people actually talked about what they were watching. What’s surprised me most is that it doesn’t feel like it’s slowing down. If anything,…
The more I think about Stranger Things, the more it feels impossible to ignore how closely it mirrors Harry Potter especially when it comes to Will Byers. At this point, Will isn’t just “the kid who went missing in season one.” He’s something darker, something more dangerous. He’s a Horcrux. In Harry Potter, Voldemort survives by splitting his…
(Spoilers Ahead) Stranger Things Volume 2 might be my favourite part of the entire show so far. From the pacing to the emotional payoff, it feels confident in what it’s doing and, more importantly, it knows that its strength lies in character rather than spectacle. The pacing is brilliant nothing feels rushed, but nothing drags…
With Volume 2 officially T minus 2 days, I wanted to sit down and write this now before everything changes and give my final predictions on who I think could die in the last three episodes of Stranger Things before the finale on the 31st. This isn’t something I’m doing lightly, because honestly, I’m not emotionally prepared…
When I look back at the films that mean the most to me, certain names come up again and again. These directors may work in completely different genres, but they all create stories that stay with me in one way or another. Christopher Nolan Interstellar, Oppenheimer, Inception, Dunkirk Nolan’s films were some of the first…
Over the Shoulder was lucky to go to an advanced screening in the West End of the worldwide hit that is SpongeBob a few weeks ago on a cold Sunday morning, and it was a blast! Food and drinks were provided and Spongebob himself was there to welcome us and provide us with a photo…
With cinema constantly evolving and streaming platforms becoming more dominant, the theatrical experience feels more important than ever. Studio deals with companies like Warner Bros and Netflix continue to blur the line between streaming and cinema releases, raising questions about the future of movie theatres. Despite that uncertainty, 2026 is shaping up to be a…
There are very few cooking competition shows that genuinely improve after their first season, but Culinary Class Wars is one of those rare cases. Season 2 doesn’t just repeat what worked before it raises the stakes and sharpens the format, making it even more compelling to watch. With the opening episodes asking the judges to get through…
They say that nearly all movies date, just some quicker than others. Think of the number of thrillers that, before mobile phones, revolved around telephone boxes, couples sleeping in separate beds, or the stop-motion special effects of the 1960s. These things might look quaint now, but they’re usually harmless reminders of the era in which…
The first Knives Out movie was a perfect example of a murder mystery. The plot was tight, the acting exemplary and it felt like a breath of fresh air when it was released in 2019. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the second instalment, 2022’s Glass Onion which was an overblown vanity project with…
