A zombie game originally inspired by a zombie film, in turn inspires its own spin-off zombie movie, the cycle continues as the shuffling corpse that is the undead genre never ends.

Review: Game of Thrones – Episode 5: A Nest of Vipers

Review: The Night Crew

A somewhat underwhelming movie saved by a couple of excellent moments and a liberal application of Danny Trejo.

Knights of Pen and Paper 2 is a sequel in its truest form. Getting rid of the mechanics that did not work in the previous game and expanding on those that did.

Catch a Ride is the strongest episode of Tales from the Borderlands so far - the action, humour and excitement Telltale has managed to keep consistent certainly helps.

Sons of Winter delivers more of the same, with some surprise character developments yet no strong sense of story progression.

Ant-Man is not the movie Diarmuid originally got excited for, but it has enough inventive humour, charm and action to make it a worthy MCU entry.

Review: Burying the Ex

Joe Dante directed two of Diarmuid's favourite movies growing up in the two Gremlins films. When his latest movie, Burying the Ex, was offered to him, he understandably jumped to cover it.
