When you think of kids’ cartoons, you probably think of something simplistic and, overall, kid-friendly. For the most part, that’s probably true, especially on that latter point. Kind of defeats the purpose of being targeted at children if they can’t actually enjoy it. But like an excellent Pixar film, cartoon shows do not have to be simplistic or something that adults can’t enjoy too. Personally, I still watch a lot of the cartoon shows from my youth, because of nostalgia and my belief that they just do not make them like they used to. Yet even the best of the…

The Long Walk is easily one of my favorite underappreciated Stephen King novels, so the film adaptation was one of my most anticipated films of 2025. It did not disappoint at all, and it really captured the harrowing atmosphere of the book. This says a lot, because it’s difficult for dystopian fiction to truly stand out in modern times, but The Long Walk manages to be both standout fiction and relevant, especially for an adaptation of a novel that was published in 1979. Watching The Long Walk sent me down a dystopian survival rabbit hole, too, and the genre is…

I admit that I’m something of a Roku newbie, at least when it comes to actually utilizing my smart TV properly. But lately, I’ve been craving applications and oddball streaming channels that offer way more than I would have expected. Normally, I use an Xbox Series X for all my streaming, and it can feel a bit limiting at times, especially in terms of the apps that are actually available. So, I have been using my Roku television a lot more lately. Like any piece of technology that I end up using, I just had to do my research. And…

I live in a village where the roads look like they’ve been borrowed from a war film – cracked, pitted, patched, and peppered with potholes that could swallow a front wheel whole. In short, it’s not the kind of place you’d expect to get along with an electric scooter… And yet, I’ve been stubbornly doing exactly that since 2021 with my trusty Pure Air Pro LR. It’s a great scooter – solid, dependable, with 10in wheels and a chunky frame that shrugs off small imperfections. But when you’re constantly dodging craters left behind by Bucks County Council, the fun wears…

Comedy shows are supposed to make you laugh, which is a fact that should be obvious to pretty much anyone who understands the definition of the word. And while there are many comedy shows, some of them deserve way more attention than they actually get. Yet the guarantee of constant laughter is not always so cut-and-dry, because genres can easily be blended. Plus, the best comedies can make you cry just as the best dramas can give you moments of hilarious levity. That’s just the nature of both life and fiction. Still, some comedies just really manage to hit that…

Our pick of the best gifts for music lovers for Christmas 2025 Teenage Engineering OB-4 Part radio, part speaker, and part alien artefact, the OB-4 is a portable FM radio/Bluetooth speaker that’s unlike anything else out there. It can record up to two hours of whatever’s playing, for a start, letting you relive the mixtape era of yesteryear. It can also rewind live radio or create bizarre ambient soundscapes, if that takes your fancy. The motorised dial and industrial design are an engineer’s dream, and its dual drivers pump out a surprisingly punchy 38 watts per channel. Utterly mad, completely…

I’ve tried several music apps, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and even Tidal. Somehow, I keep coming back to YouTube Music, and I don’t see myself switching anytime soon. I started using YouTube Music casually because it came with my cheap YouTube Premium subscription. Initially, I thought it would be just another music app that I would try and move on from. But now, I’m totally hooked on it. While it may not be the perfect app for everyone, it hits the right notes for me in a way that no other service can. I love listening to more…

Alien: Earth is the first-ever TV series set in the Alien universe. With the show coming from Fargo creator Noah Hawley and running on FX/Hulu, people expected Alien: Earth to equal or exceed a lot of the other great sci-fi shows on TV these days, maybe even measuring up to the likes of Andor. At times, it looked like it would. But now that the first season has wrapped up, Alien: Earth feels like less than the sum of its parts, and the season 1 finale is the weakest entry so far. This article, obviously, includes spoilers. So if you…
