TV Shows to look out for in 2019

It's a bit late in the year to be doing this blog post with some of the shows I'm about to mention having already started or in the case of Netflix shows...already released the entire season! However, with this crazy reality that we live in including Brexit, polar vortex's

Kidding: The show you didn't know you need to watch

Every pain has a name...and Mr Pickles is the man you didn't know you needed to know. Find out about Kidding in my latest post.

Identity: Strong Black Lead

For me identity is something I struggle with and I'm in a constant battle with myself to define as that strong sense of belonging to one set tribe has never been there for me. But that is something I accepted long ago, I stand out from the crowd even when

Netflix

The Punisher: Men Need to Talk

So the fact that The Punisher lands on Netflix the same weekend as Justice League being released at the cinema is no coincidence, but neither is it being the same weekend as International Men's day, where men are being encouraged to talk about what's troubling them. Or at least that's

Movie

The Big Sick - It's sick

The Big Sick is one of those rare films that lives up to its tagline “an awkward true story” to great effect and delivers so much more. One of Sundance Film Festivals stand out hits and directed by Michael Showalter, it stars comedian/actor Kumail Nanjiani as himself and was

Catchphrase merchandise

Merchandise centred around the catchphrase of popular characters is nothing new and has been something that has existed for decades popularised by quotable movie and television shows so much so that entire shows are sometimes created around the idea of popularising a certain character and their catchphrase purely to cash

#FirstTimeISawMe and why representation matters

The glorious people at Netflix (I believe only in the US at the moment) have launched a campaign this week with the help of influencers and celebrities under the hashtag "firsttimeIsawme". I was lucky enough to grow up (until I was 12) in Barbados which had it's upsides

Netflix: Masters of the Instagram Story

So you think you tell a good Instagram Story? I'm here to tell you that Netflix, as well as mastering TV shows have mastered instagram stories too! Let me being by saying, I feel like I've hidden myself away a little for quite a while, probably because I needed it.

Why we need "Dear White People"

So it's been a while since I've wrote anything because I haven't had the motivation to after working especially long hours recently but this recent backlash to a show has me shocked amused perplexed aggravated. As I write this I can't believe I have felt the need to but I

Guest Blog: 5 Movies to be Excited About in 2017

So I've been a little busy the last few weeks but the blog has not been forgotten and I will do a review of the last 2 years in a few weeks. In the mean time here's a guest blog on some movies to be excited about from a young

Star Wars

Rogue One - A win for diversity?

Unless you've been living under a rock you'll know that Star Wars just released another movie which is not one of the main episodes but has ties into the main story. Hollywood is unfortunately known for it being very white male orientated so it is refreshing to see a film

Westworld

Westworld - Worlds within worlds

A few weeks have passed now since the shows first season ended and the world is still reeling from it. There hasn't been a show that has invited the public as a whole to speculate about what was going on since the mind fuck that was Lost however this is

Hotels on the Big Screen

Who said hotels don't have a sense of humour? Daffodil Hotel, the one behind the following Big Screen Breaks infographic certainly know how to add some levity to otherwise horrific by design hotels. They've picked a few of their favourite film hotels and created some reviews from the characters who

Netflix

Is Netflix changing?

Netflix's latest series has just hit it's service and it is without a doubt a story that needs to be seen and heard. With a brilliant cast of young people the show is a brilliant blend of music and style which is rarely seen in a TV show and usually

Loot Crate

Loot Crate: Futuristic

This month July's Loot Crate theme was futuristic, and I got the crate a few weeks ago but haven't really had the time to write about it until now as the technology to stop time has not been created yet. Unfortunately this technology was also not in the crate. However

GISHWHES 2016: Aftermath

So the week of GISHWHES which I told you about previously is finally over and I can finally relax go back to my normal level of stress and lack of sleep (yeah I didn't really think through how much I'd need to do) but not before I tell you a

GISHWSHES (Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen)

Big news! I've been drafted into Gishwhes like thousands of others around the world. Basically it’s a massive scavenger Hunt that takes place July 30th – August 6th. People compete from all over the world, creating weird and beautiful “art” online and in the world, doing crazy fun activities, but

Marvel

Last Marvel Collector Corps

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since I started getting these but it has. I only set out to do it for a year so that I could get additional POP's other than the one I really wanted which was the Hulkbuster and for for the most

Hiatus

Long hiatus

So...it's been a while since I've posted anything, not because I haven't wanted to but because I was forced to concentrate on other things as my life descended more into a time poor chaotic mess more than it usually is. As a result I'm going to have to post

Loot Crate

Loot Crate Dystopia

It feels appropriate that post Brexit I get to review the latest Loot Crate which has the theme of Dystopia. With everyone in the world feeling the effects of the results of the vote it truly is a bit of a dystopian world, dare I say it...the darkest timeline.

City of Colours

If you live in the midlands you're hopefully one of the thousands that descended on Digbeth's City of Colour and all it's glorious street art, street food, music, skateboarding, bmxing and culture. I was lucky enough to go on an instameet which was done in conjunction between City of Colours

Last minute cosplay ideas are always great

Cosplay is awesome, don't let anyone tell you anything different. It's a fantastic outlet for creativity, allows people to be some of their favourite characters and even connects people with those who think similarly to them. When I watched the final episode of this seasons Agents of SHIELD there was
