Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Absolute Batman #15 Stephen King’s Pennywise has long been one of horror’s most unsettling creations, with the new series IT: Welcome To Derry expanding his mythology even further. However, DC’s new Absolute Joker is definitely giving his fellow monster clown a run for his money. Having debuted in Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta’s new Absolute Batman #15, the Absolute Universe’s Joker feels eerily familiar, with more than a few elements clearly being inspired by Pennywise. However, I’m honestly feeling like this new Joker may be even scarier and far more dangerous (here’s why). Welcome…

When 94-year-old Eleanor’s (June Squibb) best friend of 70 years and roommate Bessie (Rita Zohar) passes away, she decides it’s time for a change, and moves back to her native New York. In an attempt to get her out of the house and socialising, her daughter Lisa encourages Eleanor to attend classes at their local Jewish Community Centre, where she accidentally sits in on a group for Holocaust survivors. When they ask her to share her story, Eleanor (who is not a Holocaust survivor) panics, and recounts Polish-born Bessie’s story instead. She’s approached by journalism student Nina (Erin Kelliman), who wants to profile her…

Crimewave is a producer and vocalist from Bristol, known for crafting brooding soundscapes that blend industrial electronica, post-punk melancholy, and trip-hop atmosphere. Emerging from the UK underground, his sound is both futuristic and feral — a fractured reflection of city nights, emotional collapse, and quiet rage.Drawing comparisons to Tricky, Nine Inch Nails, and Salem, Crimewave turns anxiety into architecture: layers of distortion, shadowed synths, and haunting vocal mantras that blur the line between despair and defiance. His music doesn’t just play in the dark — it thrives there, building tension until it becomes transcendence.“Haemoglobin” is a visceral, slow-burning track that pulses like…

I don’t have a lot of memories from my childhood birthdays. But I vividly remember my 14th birthday party.My parents took me and a dozen or so of my best buddies to Movie City 5 in East Brunswick, NJ to see Street Fighter. For a video-game loving child of the 1990s, the Street Fighter movie was a pop-culture event somewhere on magnitude of a Squid Game/Stranger Things crossover. This wasn’t just exciting; it was important. It was the culmination of something. It was an action movie starring one of the hottest action stars at the time, Jean-Claude Van Damme, plus the great Raul Julia, a favorite amongst ’90s kids…

2025 has produced some truly stellar films across genres and styles, including acclaimed hits like Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet. There have been movies we knew would be good that turned out to be even better, and movies we didn’t expect to be great but still proved us wrong in the best ways. Then there are the movies on this list. Let’s face it, there are always going to be bad movies, even when you have star-studded casts and veteran filmmakers involved, but we’re here to talk about the movies…

HBO’s new Lanterns series is set to expand the DCU, but so far, the show feels very different tonally from any superhero show to date. James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU is beginning to take shape with a handful of TV show seasons, and the Superman movie already available to watch. However, all three of the currently released projects have been written by Gunn himself. Lanterns marks the first entry that has been largely created and shaped by others, which already distinguishes it from projects like Creature Commandos and Peacemaker, but with the first looks at the show, and comments…

This indie gem from 2014 comes to UK cinemas for the first time, and it’s an example of elite Holiday season cinema. Hangdog Noel (Kentucker Audley), in his woolen beanie and plaid workshirt, works as a house-maker most of the year round, but he picks up a few extra bucks during the festive period by selling Christmas trees in a lay-by. And to mix things up a little – and to perhaps guarantee a more vibrant variety of clientele – he works the night shift. It’s a job he executes with almost pathological diligence, using tried-and-tested sales patter with potential…

Yossari Baby are an emerging indie dream-rock band from the UK, weaving together lush textures, melancholic vocals, and cinematic guitar work to create soundscapes that feel both intimate and infinite. Their music balances the fragility of dream-pop with the emotional heft of alt-rock — a sonic duality that pulls the listener between comfort and chaos.Influenced by artists like Mazzy Star, The Cure, and Beach House, Yossari Baby explore the quiet beauty in tension: softness against distortion, stillness against motion. Their sound captures late nights, fading memories, and the spaces between what’s said and what’s felt — a soundtrack for introspection wrapped…

‘Tis the season for brand new Christmas movies.As we plow ahead into the chaos of the 2025 holidays, we’re already starting to queue up our Christmas watch lists for the end of the year. After all, is there anything better than curling up with a rich cup of hot cocoa and a cheesy, cheery holiday rom-com? We think not. (Okay, technically there are lots of things that are objectively better, but we’ll take our simple pleasures where we can get them.)New Christmas Movies to Stream in 2025This time of year consistently conjures up dozens of brand new Christmas movies —…

Few Western television shows had the lasting power as NBC’s Bonanza. An impressive series about a rancher and his three sons, the horse opera was a breath of fresh air for many who were used to stories about traveling guns for hire or stagnant town lawmen. But for audiences who tuned into Bonanza each week for the 14 seasons the show was on the air, there may have been some confusion around the midpoint of the series when, all of a sudden, Ben Cartwright’s (Lorne Greene) eldest son, Adam (Pernell Roberts), had essentially vanished without a trace. Why did Roberts…
