“Like fire across the galaxy, the Clone Wars spread”. Before the galactic conflict first teased in the original Star Wars was explored across seven seasons of 3D animation, there was… another. In 2002, upon the release of Attack of the Clones, Hasbro asked Lucasfilm to develop a Star Wars...

For the past few years, I’ve only played Battlefield games when they’ve arrived at no additional cost on PlayStation Plus. It was true for Battlefield Hardline, Battlefield 1, and now Battlefield V which has been added to the service a mere month before the big reveal of the upcoming...

“This is a true story”. Every episode of Fargo, and the film before it, begins with what is, quite simply, a blatant lie. There is very little truth in Fargo, at least in terms of historical precedent. Yet this opening lie sets a tone and hopefully puts the viewer...

“The rematch of the century”. Those words, used by Kathleen Kennedy to describe Vader’s appearance in the upcoming, unimaginatively titled Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series, caused millions of voices to suddenly cry out in either enthusiasm, concern, or confusion. We’ve all long since presumed that Obi-Wan’s confrontation with...

A briefcase full of money. A failed extortion attempt. Ordinary folk getting more than they bargained for when submerging themselves in criminality. An inciting incident leading to a cacophony of violence and misunderstanding. That’s the Coen Brothers way, whether serious, like No Country for Old Men, or absurd, such...
