Heath Robinson: Masterpieces Of Art by Susan Grange (book review).
I’ve reviewed several books about William Health Robinson (1872-1944) before but not in a long while. He came from an artistic family and joined his two brothers as professional illustrators, although better remembered than they were simply because of his ingenious cartoons although capable of much more. What this book presents is showing Heath Robinson […]
Avenue 5 (sci-fi comedy TV series: review).
Avenue 5 is the comedy Science Fiction television series created by Armando Iannucci for HBO. It features a luxury starliner in the intermediate future packed full of entitled rich gits that runs into serious problems. Cue lots of class conflicts as the practical and put upon crew must deal with hyper-rich crap heads. The Titanic […]
Ghostbusters: Afterlife – Ant-Man versus the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man? (movie trailer)

U.S. Space Force: they want you! (video)
The U.S. Space Force has created its first recruiting video and it looks kind of interesting. It doesn’t feature any alien bugs being squashed and pleas for you, citizen, to do your part, but it’s worth a watch, nevertheless. Oddly, they don’t feature the Tic-Tac UFO chases as a threat that must be stood firm […]
Gandalf spreads lockdown hope about COVID to good hobbits everywhere (video).
You may be feeling as grey as the horrible weather, my little furry-footed friends, but luckily for you Gandalf the Grey is on hand to spread lockdown hope concerning COVID to good hobbits everywhere.
Grogu Pains (silly trailer for a 1990s comedy show version of the Mandalorian).
Here’s a silly trailer for a 1990s comedy show version of the Mandalorian, called Grogu Pains. Yes, a single space-dad and his alien son’s misadventures can be terribly amusing, don’t you know. Hey, I’d watch that for a dollar, especially the Friends crossover episode featuring Joey and Monica.
Road Rage (short comedy scifi movie: in full).
Proving the point that science fiction doesn’t have to be dour and serious, here’s a new sci-fi movie called Road Rage from James Button, about a Welshman (Derw Derw) lost in a car in the valleys, with an alien-infiltrated satnav which has the power to control time. Blimey, what could possibly go wrong?
Animaniacs back with Pinky and the Brain (cartoon news).
Yes, Hulu has the Animaniacs cartoon arriving back on the TV screen with Pinky and the Brain after a close to thirty-year break and they have a lot to catch up on. Joining Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, Pinky and the Brain will doubtless continue their quest for world domination. New episodes of the Animaniacs will hit Friday, November 20th, […]
My New Pet: an article by: GF Willmetts.
I had a choice of two pets recently. Both in eggs. Well, the emotionally dead man at the door claimed his egg was a pod but didn’t really fancy it. Who wants giant peas? Looked too big and he insisted I plant it in the garden. Told him to try my neighbour. After all, he’s […]
Love and Monsters (horror rom-com: trailer).
In horror movie Love and Monsters, it’s seven years after Earth has been over-run by alien muntants, and poor old Joel Dawson (Dylan O’Brien), along with the rest of humanity, has been living underground ever since giant creatures took control of the land. After reconnecting over radio with his high school girlfriend Aimee (Jessica Henwick), […]
