Season 6 Directed by Michael Hart Written by Robert Holmes After ninety-seven arduous episodes, we have finally come to the end. Not of the season or of the Second Doctor’s era (I’d hardly call them arduous, but we have one … Continue reading Doctor Who (Classic): S06E06 “The Space Pirates”
It’s been eight long years since the release of Attack the Block. It was a great little sci-fi/horror-comedy that would wind up launching the career of star John Boyega and was the role I first noticed Jodie Whittaker in (having … Continue reading Movie Reviews: The Kid Who Would Be King (2019)
It’s not often I get giddy at the prospect of seeing a movie. It certainly hasn’t been that way for a while as I sigh a weary sigh at the films I need to see out of a feeling of … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Happy Death Day 2U (2019)
Once again, as we approach the Oscar ceremony, the Best Foreign Language Film category remains one of categories I have the least exposure to (aside from the shorts whose compilation releases are still to come). It’s also the one that … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Cold War (Zimna wojna) (2018)
My apologies for a delayed start to using this column to celebrate Black History Month as I am eternally playing catch up and last week was busy trying to finish up with the reviews I was behind on. With Valentine’s Day … Continue reading The Weekly Movie Thread Celebrates Black Romance in Film

Season 6 Directed by Michael Ferguson Written by Brian Hayles, Terrance Dicks (uncredited) It’s been a long while since we last checked in, but I’ve been sitting on this half-finished review ever since. Since that time, the modern series has wrapped … Continue reading Doctor Who (Classic): S06E05 “The Seeds of Death”
Today’s the day Academy Award nominations are released so I bet you all still have that at the top of your minds, but we’re going to avoid talking about who did (or didn’t) get nominated since there’s already a thread … Continue reading The Weekly Movie Thread Reflects on the Legacy of the Academy Awards
Like my local movie theater, the weekly movie thread is under new management. While I have no clue as of yet what changes that new ownership will bring (or when it will reopen and frankly, I’m shocked anyone would want … Continue reading Weekly Movie Thread is Under New Management – 1/15/2019

Series 11 Directed by Wayne Yip Written by Chris Chibnall Welcome back to a very special episode of Thirteenth Doctor. We didn’t get a Christmas special this year, a move I can’t say I bemoaned, and instead we got a … Continue reading Doctor Who (Modern): S11 “Resolution”
