Steampunk vs. Cyberpunk: Aesthetic vs. Ideology
At a glance, steampunk and cyberpunk appear to be two visually striking genres separated only by time. One is filled with brass gears, corsets, and steam-powered inventions; the other glows with neon lights, cybernetic bodies, and towering megacities. But beneath the aesthetics lies a deeper divide—a philosophical disagreement about progress itself.

The Rachels - 2025. Top Story - December 2025.
Much to my surprise, I have kept a list of the films I‘ve seen this year. I daresay it isn’t complete. There will be films that snuck in on a late night in front of the TV that I would’ve forgotten to note. Or others, that I went to watch at the cinema, but then had a red wine and promptly forgotten about. But it’s not a bad approximation of the films I’ve seen this year. In total, there are 53 films listed, so an average of one a week and one for good luck.

Marvel Zombie. Top Story - December 2025.
The last entry into our 2025 superhero projects catalogue is Marvel Zombies. This was a show that was anticipated by absolutely no one and it disappeared from the public consciousness as quickly as it was released. There was nothing special about the project that made it a must see, or a must remember. In fact if anything it's a must forget.

Book Review: "Really Good, Actually" by Monica Heisey
I'm trying to read things that are at least, remotely funny at the moment. Right now whilst writing this, I am over-caffeinated and I have a headache. But instead of not drinking more coffee, I am having another cup of coffee to try to get rid of the headache. I know, it's silly but hey, if I don't drink coffee then I'll get a headache from caffeine withdrawal. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Really Good Actually is a book about millennials, for millannials and possibly, insulting millennials as well. It's definitely funny and a book I would recommend for anyone just looking for a laugh.
