This week marks the fifth anniversary of one of the great surprises in the modern history of the Academy Awards: the night that Green Book won the Best Picture Oscar.
It wasn’t quite as big a surprise as “envelope-gate” two years prior, which had seen the statues handed to La...

It is perhaps an understatement to describe the second season of True Detective as “deeply flawed.” The reaction at the time was catastrophic, citing the season as a prime example of “the dangers of auteur TV.”

When the time comes to write the history of the comic book movie boom, the Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters (SPUMC) will make a fascinating case study of how the shared universe model impacted mainstream blockbuster filmmaking. The latest entry in that sub-franchise, Madame Web, is an interesting illustration of the compulsions and contradictions that shape modern superhero tent p...

I often get asked about how to get involved in games media. I feel a lot of people who read or watch games coverage have a glorified view of what the job really is, and often don’t understand why people who write about games for a living can often be quite jaded and cynical about their chosen profession.
A lot of people want to write or make content about games, but there’s some cold hard t...

Madame Web is released in cinemas this week. However the film itself plays out, the Madame Web press tour has been a highlight of the year to date.
Madame Web is the latest entry in Sony Pictures’ attempts to construct a shared comic book movie universe around its rights to the Spider-Man characters, albeit one largely without Spider-Man (Tom Holland) himse...

Hey there! Consider this a companion to the column we wrote about The Blair Witch Project a few weeks back. 1999 was arguably one of the greatest years in the history of the cinema. We’re tempted to run a series of retro articles looking at the movies of the year with 25 years of dis...
