2K’s mediocre return doesn’t bring the pain There’s something timelessly endearing about the WWF/WWE games. While No Mercy on the Nintendo 64 is heavily regarded as the best of all time, THQ’s Smackdown series has come close a few times to hitting the 3 count and snatching the championship from its current champion. Smackdown 2 and Here Comes The Pain are two such examples of a near fall, before the series turned away from its arcade roots to become more of a simulation....

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi Lottie and the Bear Episode 10 of Yellowjackets begins with the girls waking up in the wilderness, having recovered from their eventful mushroom-fueled night. Nat shows up to see Travis, who’s obviously still spooked from the night’s events but claims that he’s fine. The thing is, camp is very much not fine. The situation with the shrooms is spilled, as everyone learns that Misty drugged them all....

As audience members, we already know that something is amiss with Char’s relations, as the opening scene flashes back into the past to a freakish woodland ritual involving Char as a baby and her grandmother. We don’t quite know what is going on in this scene but it becomes clear later in the movie that the ritual is key to the subsequent events that happen in Char’s life. When we are taken forward into the present day, we see that Char lives a lonely, oppressive existence with Angela, her mentally ill mother, and her downbeat and doom-spouting grandmother on a Dublin housing estate....

Young Sheldon Season 6 Episode 3 Young Sheldon is the unexpected hit prequel to The Big Bang Theory. With a look at Sheldon and his family through the years – namely the late 1980s and early 1990s – the short and concise episodes work well to flesh out this popular character’s backstory. Season 6 is no exception with plenty of family drama and comedic quips from our little geeky protagonist. If you’ve been following this one over the weeks, you may be curious to find out when the next episode is releasing....

Secret Skater Episode 2 of Zero Chill begins with Anton giving Kayla a lift home. She cracks some jokes on the way, which does little to dispel Anton’s bad mood.

Kayla charges up to her room though and rings Sky, excitedly telling her about the mysterious stranger. She remains determined to find 67, as she turns in for the night....

That isn’t to say there isn’t any action, however, as bad guys still get beaten up and superheroic acts are performed. As such, you should still enjoy the movie, even though it’s not as grandiose as movies within the MCU. What is Samaritan about? The movie focuses on 13-year-old Sam and his neighbour Joe, who Sam thinks is a superhero that apparently died many years earlier alongside his evil twin brother, Nemesis....

Escaping Reality with Suspense Thrillers You know you’re in for a ride when the summary of a film states that a mundane life of an ordinary protagonist is toppled when they notice something is amiss while the genre states that it is sci-fi. And that is what Don’t Worry Darling was as we went in thinking that it would be a simple melodrama about a bored suburban housewife only to be hit in the face with the wildest plot twist anyone could ever imagine....

Check Out These Fantastical Tales! Netflix has been churning out various anime projects over the years. While some aren’t mass hits, many offer intruiging concepts worth checking out regardless of their overall quality. Drifting Home is one of those projects. This anime may not have the best story or character line-up, but its animation and soundtrack will leave viewers slightly satisfied. In it, we follow Kousuke and Natsume whose friendship’s starting to teeter toward dangerous territory....

Cobwebs We begin episode 1 of 30 Coins in Geneva, Switzerland as a gunman arrives at a bank, nonchalantly shooting every officer in sight while shrugging off bullets. Opening the vault, he finds a safety deposit box and takes out the items inside. Stuffing his treasure back in his pocket, this man walks past the security guards firing at him, continuing to shrug off the bullets like they’re nothing, and sits in the back of a black car as it drives off....

A Game You’ll Either Love Or Hate With such a unique concept, 428: Shibuya Scramble is one of those games you’ll either love or hate. Presented as an interactive visual novel, this re-released 2008 Japanese cult hit is likely to be divisively received, such is the niche appeal of the game. With over 25 hours of content and a little over 95 different endings, Shibuya Scramble is a massive game, one with an incredible story at its helm needlessly held back by convoluted mechanics and finicky gameplay....

Janine and Gregory soon learn that she was right. After their classes finish lunch and have the new juice, all the kids have to use the restroom at once. The first floor bathrooms can’t handle the mass influx of students and soon become out of order. Rather than use the second floor bathrooms, Janine and Gregory implore Barbara for the use of the private kindergarten bathroom. She agrees–in the case of emergencies only....

The Kidnappings After last week’s much-improved episode, Abyss returns for a story that can’t quite make up its mind what sort of show it wants to be. Part comedy, part romance and part crime thrilling mystery, Abyss’ tumultuous 13 episodes are typified perfectly here, with an episode that swings like a pendulum between its different genres, ultimately failing to really establish itself as anything but unfortunate background noise. It pains me to say it too because I love Korean dramas and the storytelling here is some of the best in any TV show....
