‘Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid’ Board Game Review

by Matthew Smail

If, like me, you’re somewhere between the ages of about 33 and 40, you’ll very likely have spent most of your childhood avoiding the Power Rangers. What seemed like a stupid, cheesy mess to me was apparently hugely exciting to slightly younger kids, but I just never got it. As it turns out, Power Rangers […]

‘The Politician’ Review (Netflix Original)

by Rhys Payne

The Netflix original The Politician is a fascinating look into the possible consequences of unhealthy obsessions with ambition and determination which is something not many TV shows look into. Too many times we see a determined character who risks friendships, relationships, family etc to achieve the thing they crave and they achieve their dreams making […]

The Bump, which aired this week on the WWE Network, is hosted by WWE backstage […]
