‘American Horror Story – Cult 7×04: 11/9’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

If there has been one thing about American Horror Story: Cult, it is the mystery of just how the “clowns” came together. This week we see a flashback that provides that answer, and also reveals a few surprises that make us re-evaluate a few characters. More importantly, we get to take a glimpse into just […]

‘Distrust’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

If you’ve seen John Carpenter’s The Thing you’ll know that feeling of claustrophobic isolation that the film created so well. When looking for a fun game, this probably isn’t the experience you are looking for. Distrust looks to give just that, but thankfully doesn’t give up on the fun. When starting the game, you have […]

‘WRC 7’ Review (PS4)

by Matthew Smail

Without putting too fine a point on it, WRC 7 is a hard game to recommend. I’m a huge fan of rally racing and rally games, yet the gameplay in Kyloton’s third installment of the WRC series (the others being WRC 5 and 6) feels as if it has barely advanced in three years. Considering […]

by Paul Metcalf

If there was one thing that has worried fans about Star Trek: Discovery, it is if we would finally get the new show we felt we deserve. After all the expected debate on the choice of a female captain (ugh, why is that still an issue?) now we get down to the important thing, watching […]

‘Rick and Morty 3×08: Morty’s Mind Blowers’ Review

by Steven Riley

After a heavy episode last week, Rick and Morty changed up the pace again with a more self-contained, ‘clip show’-style adventure. As Rick himself alludes to at the start, episode eight, ‘Morty’s Mind Blowers’ is the equivalent of the Inter-Dimensional cable from the seasons prior. While the prior two episodes have had some memorable bits, […]

‘American Horror Story – Cult 7×03: Neighbours from Hell’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

If I was to write that American Horror Story: Cult is a brave show to air on television, I’m sure many would say “no, it just sucks.” The thing is with this year’s choice of subject, which has a focus more on the psychological, it is going to divide viewers. This is a year that […]
