And on the first day of the second month in 2021… After a January that felt about as long as the entirety of 2020, you might think that February would help ring in a fresh start, and yet, here we are, on the very first day of February, and entire roads are being closed because […]

It has been 25 years since The Mighty Ducks were last in action. All you have to do is look at the likes of Cobra Kai to see that nostalgia is a very powerful thing, and given the right people behind the project, giving the original product the respect it deserves, then returning to a […]

(insert Homer drooling gif here) Some articles require a lot of work, a lot of research, some interviewing, some investigative journalism, all of that important stuff in order to get down the nitty gritty of a great story. And then some articles don’t require anything at all, other than the words in the headline. This […]

It was already good, but now it is starting to get GOOOOOOOD. Okay… (deep breath)… SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS! Spoilers for the first three episodes, and the newly dropped fourth episode. Still here?

Some great new movies and TV shows we’re looking forward to checking out throughout the month. Each and every month, Netflix add loads of new movies and shows to their ever-expanding library, and keeping track of what is new, as well as what is actually good, can be daunting.

96% on Rotten Tomatoes is not to be sniffed at! Teen comedies are something that Hollywood has been doing pretty well in the last decade or so – Mean Girls, Superbad, Easy A, and Blockers all immediately come to mind – but it is probably fair to say that this new Netflix addition, added today […]

“We’ve had so many people thank us for leaving them up.” If you’ve been going for your 5km walks through the Phoenix Park lately, then chances are you’ve noticed a bit of a blinding light on the horizon, and as you make your way towards it, you’ll see it is a huge Christmas tree, still […]

It is also great news […]

One of the best cake creations we’ve tasted in some time. Located right across the road from one of Dublin’s most Christmassy pubs (which, unfortunately, didn’t open their doors for December), Goats Gruff can be found at the Strawberry Beds in Dublin 20. They’ve adapted to the restrictions by creating a sort of drive-thru system, […]

If you’re in the market for some new headphones, then this is definitely worth a read. It wasn’t too long ago that Apple revealed their latest headphone technology, along with an eye-watering price-tag, but in an age when we’re all looking for that perfect match of convenience and bank-balance-friendliness, they obviously aren’t going to be […]

These beautiful creations are incredibly good for the environment.

Milkshake and coffee, a match made in heaven. Are you one of those people who has started off 2021 in a healthier way?

A potential frontrunner for the biggest award in the world of movies, it bypassed Irish cinemas completely. While cinemas weren’t able to give us the big-screen fix that we all needed throughout 2020, it is unfair to say that the quality of movies over the last 12 months or so has taken any kind of […]

Here is our review of WandaVision, the first new Marvel show to arrive on Disney+. Fair play to Marvel and Disney for this, because WandaVision doesn’t hold back on the weirdness.

If you like horror, then do not miss out on Servant. When it comes to horror, TV has been kind of hit-and-miss. The first season of The Terror was amazing, but it got kind of dull when the second season arrived. The Haunting of Hill House was fantastic, but sophomore Bly Manor left us all […]

We’ll be honest, we were already giggling uncontrollably 20 seconds into the trailer. Even though it hasn’t come out here yet (we’ve heard it will likely be March 2021), it is likely that Jamie Dornan is already wanting to distance himself from the monumentally odd rom-com Wild Mountain Thyme. And while he does appear to […]

The director of Mr & Mrs Smith, the writer of Peaky Blinders, and a VERY impressive cast.

We can’t believe some of these movies were released two decades ago! Ready to feel old?

TV was pretty fantastic in 2020, but let us see how well you remember these amazing shows. While movies took a bit of a hit this past year, we ended up being pretty spoiled with amazing shows in 2020. From returning greats, to the beginnings of something brand new, to shows that would only be […]
