So, its been far too long since I last wrote anything, but I haven’t been sat idle friends!! Since I last did a blog I’ve discovered the joy of audiobooks (I think I mentioned this before). I have read IT, Carrie and I’m currently in the middle of a great book c alled The HistorianContinue reading “A little catch up”

I love reading, though I don’t read half as much as I’d like to. I have plenty of books, I just never seem to be in the mood for it as much as I should be. One thing I thought I’d try was an audio book, in all honesty to see if it annoyed meContinue reading “Audio Books and big scale disaster!”

Hi guys, I hope everyone is doing ok? I thought I’d do a little blog while my voice recovers properly from me having Covid, fingers crossed I can stop going croaky long enough to get a podcast out soon!! First up is an absolute gem of a film : Last Night In Soho. I missedContinue reading “Last Night In Soho and Resident Evil : Welcome to Racoon City”

In 1985 we got Rocky IV and if we’re honest it’s the most far fetched, fantastical entry into the Rocky franchise. But that didn’t stop it becoming a favourite of many. largely down to it being a quintessential 80’s action film, as opposed to the gritty dramas that started the series. I guess it wasContinue reading “Rocky IV : Rocky vs Drago”

Hey guys, I hope this post finds you all well, fingers crossed the world settles down soon!! It’s been a varied week for me film wise, First up was the latest offering from M. Night Shyamalan, Old. In 1999 Shyamalan shook the world with The Sixth Sense and has seemingly been trying to recreate itContinue reading “Old, The Punisher and Cal Dodd”

Hello hello hello!

TheContinue reading “A little update…..”

So. We made it to the end of this mess. A year that for many of us won’t be forgotten quickly enough. I guess what I feel most of all about the show is disappointment. I love doing the podcast and this blog, but for one reason or another I just couldn’t get into aContinue reading “2021”

It dawned on me the other day that I’ve pretty much had a life long relationship with Ghostbusters. It would have started in the mid/late 80’s when I would have first watched the animated series : The Real Ghostbusters. Not long after that I would have first watched 1984’s classic Ghostbusters. 1989 bought us GhostbustersContinue reading “Ghostbusters”

Those of us of a certain age will have grown up with some classic adventure films, things like The Goonies, Indiana Jones, Romancing the Stone and Jumanji. The genre kind of went away for a bit but it’s been a slow but successful return for a while now with things like The Mummy franchise withContinue reading “Jungle Cruise”
