Coyote vs. Acme Review [MIFF 2026]
In terms of characterisation, laughs per minute, and the ability to make the animated and real worlds collide in believable ways, Coyote vs Acme ticks the boxes.

We’re all going to burn ourselves out at this rate: a big warm shrug and good luck to the future generations.
TV Series Review
My Brilliant Career (2026) Review
There’s a longevity to the narrative in My Brilliant Career, which is based upon the 1901 novel by Miles Franklin and was previously adapted into a 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill.

People love snakes, it turns out, and there’s a huge market for them and other exotic reptiles
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Review – Pirates are in this year!
I can’t wait to discuss the series more with people as they watch the episodes. I’m especially interested to hear from those, like myself, who had thought their love for Scott Pilgrim may have worn off with age.
Invincible: Season 2 – Part One Review
Invincible returns with four slow-burn episodes that are doing a lot of set-up for things to come.
Twisted Metal: Season One Review – Come for Sweet Tooth, stay for John Doe and Quiet
Twisted Metal more than expands upon the source material; it grounds the series’ ridiculous characters into a world that somehow makes sense.
Good Omens: Season 2 Review – It’s good to have them back
I can easily watch the adventures of Crowley and Aziraphale for a few more seasons.
Blu-Ray and DVD Reviews
Arcane: Season One – 4K & Blu-Ray Review
Arcane has finally been released on Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray, and it’s the best way to watch the show

Jacob’s Ladder (1990) [Imprint Collection #207] Blu-Ray Review – Under-appreciated anti-war classic looks better than ever
Jacob’s Ladder isn’t a film for everyone, but it will always start a conversation. And plenty of extras are here to keep that conversation going even if you fall on the side of history that hated the film’s ending.

Return to Paradise (1998) [Imprint Collection #209] Blu-Ray Review – A hidden late 90s gem with stellar performances
The moral dilemma is what drives Return to Paradise. Would you return and do prison time to help someone you haven’t seen for years?
The War of the Worlds (1953) (Limited Edition SteelBook + 3D Lenticular Hardcase (4K + Blu-ray)) Review – A collectors item for a classic film
Even without prior love for The War of the Worlds, I appreciate that the first time I could watch the film was with such a fantastic restoration for the technicolour film.
Stunt Rock (1978) (Ozploitation Classics #8) Blu-Ray Review – An Ozploitation classic that needs to be seen to be believed
A spectacle of a film that’s bound to be unlike anything you’ve seen before.
Run Lola Run (1998) (World Cinema #5) Blu-Ray Review – Fast-paced anti-hero time-looping
Even if the time-loop mechanic has been used and explored a bunch in the years since this is an art-pop piece of European film history and well worth watching.
Board Game Review
Star Wars: Unlimited – Legends of The Force Set Review
The latest set in the Star Wars: Unlimited trading card game takes a focus on everyone’s favourite part of the galaxy far, far away — the Force and its users.
Catan 6th Edition Review
What does a 2025 revision of Catan have to offer?
Aetherdrift – The first Magic: The Gathering Set of 2025 is a bit of a letdown
This set feels like it’s simply warming up the engines for Tarkir: Dragonstorm rather than being its own epic race.

Bloomburrow is an adorable new set for Magic: The Gathering.
Magic: The Gathering Universe Beyond: Assassin’s Creed is a slightly confusing release
