Paying tribute to the late actor’s Caped Crusader. There’s narrative about the history of Batman, that people like to recite when they want to sound like they know about comic books. It goes like this: When Batman was first created in 1939, he was dark and violent and serious. Then, the 1966 TV show made […]

This certainly was an unexpected series of events. When kickboxer Harut Grigorian turned his back on opponent Murthel Groenhart during their match at Glory 42, it turned out to be a catastrophic error. The ref didn’t stop the match, and Groenhart knocked out Grigorian while he wasn’t looking. It was completely in the rules, but […]

It’s already been a busy summer for Jose.

One of the most heartening things about Thursday’s General Election was the amount of young people that voted – with some reports suggesting that turnout was as high as 72% amongst 18 to 25 year olds. A lot of the has been attributed to the #GRIME4CORBYN movement, with artists like AJ Tracey and Novelist offering […]

We’re not saying that the first half of Scotland v England was boring, but the fact that Joe Hart was wearing a baseball cap seemed to be the only thing people were talking about at half time on social media. How's the game going? Well, after over half an hour, Joe Hart is trending on […]

Press start to dispense beer. The original Game Boy is a design classic – like the adidas Superstar or the Nokia 3310, it is instantly recognisable just from its outline and simple design. That means it’s easily homaged on a phone case. Or a bag. Or in this case, a fridge freezer. Yup, that’s right. […]

When you hear the phrase ‘Live Action Super Mario Bros.’, you probably think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub01mPDS-Z0 Which is not really a classic, and seems to have been enough to scare Nintendo off movies for the last few decades. However, a much more faithful live-action made an appearance this week. Universal Studios Japan is currently building […]

The sad news has broken that Adam West, the star of the classic 1960s Batman TV show, has died aged 88. While Bat-fans will argue forever about which actor was the greatest Caped Crusader, West will always be Batman to a certain generation. Newer interpretations of the Dark Knight has cast him as a grim, […]

If you’re a fan of really bad movies, you might have seen him before… The General Election gave a boost to many things – leftwing politics, the DUP – but more than anything, there was one true breakout star: Lord Buckethead, the costumed ‘Gremloid Party’ candidate that stood in Theresa May’s constituency, and instantly became an […]

It’s pretty simple, when you explain it like that. Going into Saturday’s Champions League final, Juventus had an incredible defensive record in the tournament, conceding just three goals in twelve games. But that all fell apart in the final, with Real Madrid putting four past the Italian champions in just 90 minutes (plus injury time). […]

Stranger things have happened… If, in June 2015, Wes Morgan had been talking about he thought Leicester City could be Premier League champions, we would have all laughed very loudly at him.

The film has definitely been better received than Batman v Superman… The long-awaited Wonder Woman movie is finally here.

Oops. Sky News’ Sophy Ridge was in Glasgow this morning, interviewing the Scottish party leaders ahead of the General Election.
