There isn’t exactly a more polarising character in the music industry than Kanye West – trying to convince someone who thinks he’s an arrogant douche that he’s actually the music equivalent of sliced bread, which is pretty great, is not the easiest of feats. With seven albums under his belt, Kanye has presented himself as…
Gaming was alight with rage and burning pitchforks coming towards the release of EA’s Star Wars Battlefront 2 in November which caused the infamous “sense of pride and accomplishment” Reddit comment in response to the backlash that their loot box system and unlocking of in-game rewards had caused.

Cloverfield is an ominous franchise. When 10 Cloverfield Lane came in 2016 it was a massive surprise – from its short advertising campaign, the fact that it was an 8-year-old sequel, and the overall quality of the film led it to be one of the highlights of the year. If anyone is an NFL fan…

With it being the last issue of the calendar year, and all, I thought it might be an idea to do a look at what the Film & TV Industry has achieved over the last 11 months. When 2016 ended, we arrived into an award season that was highlighted in controversy, and just when you…
The recent stress of assignments and exams led to a complete binge-watch of the newest season of Stranger Things in the space of two days from release. Take all of this review with a pinch of salt, because I believe that shows aren’t digested as well when they’re binged, but I think I’ve captured most…
With the release of the sequel to my favourite film of all time, having a discussion on what Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 means to the film industry felt important to me. Money is an underlying factor when it comes to making films, that for sequels to happen a film must make a nice…
