Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Level Five Transporter Accident Review

The puppet episode. An episode I suspect many fans were waiting for, if only to see if lightning could strike twice and Strange New Worlds could turn in two really strong unique genre episodes (the first, of course, being the shockingly good musical episode back in season two). Alas, this round of pushing the boundaries […] The post Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – Level Five Transporter Accident…

Ted Lasso – Richmond’s Got Talent Review

First things first: I find it hard to believe that someone like Ted Lasso had never heard of Susan Boyle. Her success on Britain’s Got Talent was one of the biggest stories around both the UK and US when it happened and even someone who is as offline as Ted surely would have heard of […] The post Ted Lasso – Richmond’s Got Talent Review appeared first on Pop Culture Maniacs .

The End of Oak Street Review

The End of Oak Street is a genre film from the director of It Follows and the first theatrical film release by Bad Robot since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The Platt family live in a normal American suburb in 1982. However, there are underlying tensions because Greg (Ewan McGregor) is working as a […] The post The End of Oak Street Review appeared first on Pop Culture Maniacs .

The Wrong Girls Review

Almost every stoner comedy since 1998 has lived in the shadow of The Big Lebowski, reassessed as a masterpiece in the years since its disappointing initial run. So if you’re trying to add to the canon, why not borrow some of its key elements in a deliberate acknowledgement of its power? A few hapless friends thrust […] The post The Wrong Girls Review appeared first on Pop Culture Maniacs .

Nimrods Review

Green Day is arguably one of America’s most famous punk bands, which were huge in the 1990s and 2000s. They have moved into filmmaking by producing the coming-of-age road movie Nimrods. Tommy (Mason Thames) and Fred (Kylr Coffman) are best friends, big fans of Green Day, and two-thirds of the band Analog Dogs. They give […] The post Nimrods Review appeared first on Pop Culture Maniacs .

Resisting PlayStation’s Greed

Sony announced at the beginning of July 2026 that they are going to end physical media production in January 2028. After weeks of online outrage and silence from Sony, the CFO, Lin Tao, has said, “We’re going to cautiously move this forward,’ during a Q&A section on 31st July 2026. As someone who sings the […] The post Resisting PlayStation’s Greed appeared first on Pop Culture Maniacs .

Tony Review

Anthony Bourdain is one of America’s most famous and celebrated chefs. His life in 1975 and early career were the inspiration for the biopic Tony. Anthony “Tony” Bourdain (Dominic Sessa) is an arrogant and entitled student at Vassar College. He lies to his family that he got a writing fellowship, and he runs off to […] The post Tony Review appeared first on Pop Culture Maniacs .

All in Good Time Review

Callum Edmunds, AKA MauLer, is the latest YouTuber critic/grifter attempting to show he can make a short film with a thriller set in one location. In a random barn in the English countryside are four hostages. Three of the hostages who plead for their lives are coldly shot by The Boss (Nicholas Rowe). However, the […] The post All in Good Time Review appeared first on Pop Culture Maniacs .

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – A Case of Chiaroscuro Review

I’ve watched a shockingly large number of noir-based TV shows in the last several months. It must be a current writing trend. And, as someone who finds noir to be generally fun, I’m certainly not complaining. That being said, aside from the fun use of black and white – especially Uhura mentioning that it’s hard […] The post Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – A Case of Chiaroscuro Review appeared…

Ted Lasso – Curiouser and Curiouser! Review

Two things are clear by the end of “Curiouser and Curiouser!” First, this new season of Ted Lasso is very much a retread of season one – for good and for ill. We have Ted returning to take over the reins of a team that is floundering in the second tier of English football, with […] The post Ted Lasso – Curiouser and Curiouser!
