Will ya keep it down?! Noisy Bird of Paradise drowns out Sir David Attenborough

What’s up Doc?! The origins of Bugs Bunny that’s what!

It’s no secret, not after countless books by George R. R. Martin and six seasons of HBO’s watercooler-stomping megahit TV show, that everybody, and I mean everybody, wants to rule to rule the world. Or in this case, sit upon the Iron Throne and look out upon the Seven Continue Reading
Weekend pop art: What if every TV show starred cats?
Cats are natural born actors. Sure much of the time they pit their prodigious talents one side in favour of living a boldly authentic life, one which includes turning up their noses at the cat food they normally devour in one sitting and demanding to be out the back Continue Reading
Back in The Flash! Everyone’s favourite speedster is returning soon with season 3
Oh what a tangled web we weave huh Barry? When last left everyone’s favourite speedster – although that status could be in danger given how rash he has become of late, his spontaneous, hotheaded decisions causing no end of chaos – he had raced back in time (again), saved Continue Reading
