Who doesn't love a good Christmas film? It just never really feels like Christmas until you've put on a good holiday classic, eh? Whether it's a movie that makes you feel festive or takes you on an emotional roller-coaster ride, Christmas films are as much a holiday staple as putting up Christmas trees, wrapping up presents and eating Christmas dinner. Many Christmas films are timeless holiday classics, and many are corny festive guilty pleasures. Sadly, there's not a lot of

Flippin' heck, time is just a blur these days. Seriously, how are we in a situation where I, the Media Man, am now here, on the blog, talking about a Zootropolis sequel?! I remember seeing the first movie back in 2016 when it came out! Unless you've been living in a cave all your life, you'll no doubt be very familiar with Zootropolis , or Zootopia as it's called everywhere else. Here in the UK, we called it Zootropolis due to some copyright thing in Europe regarding the n

Written by Captain Conroy Suffice to say, 2025 has been a crazy year for us Thomas fans as we have celebrated the 80 th  anniversary. We got to see the pilot which we thought was lost to time, all new merchandise, new lore has been revealed and the plethora of YouTubers making their own videos to celebrate, the list goes on. We even had some old scripts from Thomas’s fifth season amongst many other things like screen-used props and models go on auction and be purchased by fan

How has it been TWELVE YEARS since this movie came out already?! I still remember watching it when it was brand new in cinemas back in 2013!!! Yes people, believe it or not, this year marks the 12th anniversary of Disney's biggest pop culture giant of the 2010's. That movie is none other than Frozen . Based on the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale The Snow Queen , Frozen was a movie that had been in the works for decades at the Walt Disney Company. And when I say decades, I

Continued from Part 1. Section 3: The Gameplay Now for the interesting part, for Legends Z-A  boasts the biggest change in Pokémon 's usual gameplay style we've had since the franchise began. One could argue that Legends Arceus  did it first with its two fighting styles, but Legends Z-A really made a big change to how Pokémon games are usually played. Before we get to that big change, let's talk about the smaller parts of the gameplay first. As this is a game with a single ci

I've done a series of posts all about playing the game, now it's time to finally review it. Pokémon: Legends ZA has had an...interesting impact on the fandom. This game went from being incredibly hyped back when it was first revealed last year to being completely ridiculed when it was released. I can't tell you how depressing it was to see this game go from anticipated to hated so quickly and all because of irrelevant things like "flat building textures" or some nonsen

The 2020's really has been Sonic the Hedgehog 's big comeback, hasn't it? After being reduced to a joke during the late 2000's and throughout all of the 2010's, the 2020's feel like they've been taking pity on Sonic and have given him the big break he was looking for. No joke, it's amazing how much things have taken a leap in quality or how Sonic's become so much more popular and beloved since this decade began. He has three critically beloved and successful movies, he got a
