Brad Cook reviews Mystery Science Theater 3000 Volume XXXIX… MST3K Volume XXXIX is a bittersweet release because it marks the end of an era. Yes, this is Shout! Factory’s final new volume of Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes. (They’ll keep re-releasing the old Rhino sets, however.) They say on their site that it’s the “almost […]
TV Review – Netflix’s Dark
Matt Rodgers reviews the first three episodes of Dark… Dark is the first German Netflix original series, but if you read the synopsis, you might argue over the validity of the word ‘original’. There are a group of bike riding kids, who all go to the same high school in their small woodland community, at […]
Video Game Review – Star Wars Battlefront II
Shaun Munro reviews Star Wars Battlefront II… Though it was easy to be optimistic about EA and DICE’s follow-up to 2015’s enjoyable-yet-malnourished Star Wars Battlefront reboot, the end result is one of the most depressingly, dispiritingly botched sequels to a hit AAA game this generation. From its infuriating, predatory progression system to a campaign that fails […]

Arrow Season 6 Episode 6 Review – ‘Promises Kept’
Jessie Robertson reviews the sixth episode of Arrow season 6… It’s nice to have a random two-parter here at the beginning of the season and for some reason I was surprised when the episode started back on Slade and his son. We even get flashbacks, to 7 years prior, right after Oliver left Slade dead, […]
Gotham Season 4 Episode 9 Review – ‘Let Them Eat Pie’
Martin Carr reviews the ninth episode of Gotham season 4… Villainous tendencies work best with an agenda especially when wealthy patrons, over consumption and flagrant symbolism are included in the mix. Comic Strip did it best when alternative comedy was personified by Ben Elton, The Young Ones and Rik Mayall. These days socio-political commentary feels […]
