  • Sam I Am: Alexa’s mother****ing upgrade arrives…

    Have you ever wanted to yell: I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger ?   Amazon‘s ‘personal assistant’ Alexa undeniably revolutionised the home-tech market.

  • Mandalorian’s Tatooine tribute is still skin deep…

    After a close encounter with a pursuing ship, The Mandalorian needs to put in repairs and so heads to Mos Eisley, the infamous space-port in the backwater (backsand?) world of Tatooine.

    There’s been a fair amount of Star Trek-related material recently (the return of Short Treks, the DVD release of Discovery‘s second season and the imminent launch of the much-anticipated Picard) but while these televisual projects were garnering attention it did seem as if the cinematic strand of the Star...
  • The Bannon roars: EPIX confirms more from ‘Pennyworth’ and Co….

    Epix’s Pennyworth series was a bit of a surprise. It’s not what many expected from Danny Cannon and Bruno Heller, the team that had brought us a very different Batman prequel with Gotham. Instead it was more akin to a young Michael Caine movie colliding with a Steed/Emma Peel...
