    I’ll be honest, I’m aware of the drubbing this mega budget Netflix film from the Russo’s is getting, but as a Friday night watch, to switch off in front of the TV to, it was entertaining enough. I haven’t read the graphic novel it’s based ‘loosely’ on, but I do like Simon Stālenhag’s ‘Tales from the Loop’, so loved the world building and robot aesthetics.

Bruce seriously needs to get some…

    Well no spoilers, but I thought that was fantastic, to be 32 years down the line with these characters and it still be enjoyable, let alone hilarious is amazing. This feature length episode at 90 minutes, gives it plenty of time to breathe and puts it in movie territory and I kid you not, it’s the best film I’ve seen this year, in terms of having a good time. Lister, Rimmer, Cat and Kryten happen upon three cat clerics and…
