With Game of Thrones drawing to the conclusion of its final series I figured now would be the perfect time to share with you my unabashed love for Westeros' most hated woman. Queen of the Seven Kingdoms herself: Cersei Lannister. That's right, the murderous, scheming, incest-prone Lady Lannister is my favourite character and one who … Continue reading In defence of…Cersei Lannister
Hi, long time no see. It's been so long now since my last post this must seem like a flashback, and speaking of flashbacks... As a 90s kid and a bit of a geek, I enjoy revisiting old television shows from my childhood. The original Pokemon is on Netflix, Disney films never go out of … Continue reading Ranked: The Original Digidestined
With the Emmy nominations drawing nearer and nearer, two shows have emerged as contenders for a number of awards including Best Drama, Lead Actress in a Drama and Lead Actor in a Drama. The two shows in question? FX's The Americans and Netflix's The Crown. Here's a look at which way the awards might sway. … Continue reading Philip and Elizabeth vs Philip and Elizabeth
Well, that was depressing. When I first decided to watch Feud I had middling expectations, on one hand you have a talented cast and intriguing plot and so it would have taken something pretty dire to bomb, on the other hand I imagined that the characters of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford would serve as … Continue reading Vital Viewing – Feud: Bette and Joan Season Finale
In the previous episode, Hagsploitation, Mamacita told Joan Crawford that if she ever threw anything at her head again she would leave her. Mamacita, a character who for the most part has been seemingly blindly loyal to Joan, is clearly a woman of her word for when that second vase crashes into the window next … Continue reading Vital Viewing – Feud: Bette and Joan Episode 7
First things first - major apologies for being late on these Feud reviews, I shall blame my poor WiFi but we all know my own laziness is the real culprit. That out of the way I'll crack on with the review. Episode 6, the crudely named 'Hagsploitation' highlights what can only be described as post movie blues. … Continue reading Vital Viewing – Feud: Bette and Joan Episode 6
Until now, Feud has been a weekly source of enjoyment with plenty of humour, fun and memorable star turns from it's glittering cast. This week however, the show has upped it's game and delivered an episode of truly outstanding television. For the first time since the series began I found myself audibly oohing and aahing … Continue reading Vital Viewing – Feud: Bette and Joan Episode 5
This week's episode of Feud marks the halfway point of the series and it's a bit of a breather episode compared to the last two. It's the first time the two titular characters fail to appear in a scene together which means the levels of shouting, swearing and scheming are reduced. With Baby Jane wrapped Bette and … Continue reading Vital Viewing – Feud: Bette and Joan Episode 4
My favourite show 'The Americans' is officially back! The story of two KGB officers posing as regular Americans is soooo underrated, Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys who star in it are phenomenal, the supporting cast is top notch, the writing is sublime and the soundtrack is out of this world! Honestly, just give them all … Continue reading Music Matters – The Top 10 Songs used on The Americans
My WiFi is playing up today so this review will be of limited length for fear of the auto save failing (I'm not one for rewriting stuff) If last week's episode was focused on director Bob Aldrich, this week returns to our two stars Bette and Joan. 'Mommie Dearest' highlights the relationship each star has … Continue reading Vital Viewing – Feud: Bette and Joan Episode 3
I Should Write That Down...
