By Andrew Pelechaty WARNING: This review contains spoilers from Daredevil Born Again Season 2. While it could be argued that Disney was a big part of the MCU backlash post-Endgame (with lots of interconnected Disney+ series and movies that turned watching the MCU into homework), Daredevil’s introduction has been one of the high points. Born Again has been just as good as the Netflix series,…

by Andrew Pelechaty A versatile performer of rock, soul/R&B, and acoustic music for over 50 years, Jimmy Barnes has embraced the retro vibe with his 40th anniversary For the Working Class Man tour, which finished on Friday night (April 10) at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena. As the Barnes family band walked out, the audience watched a collection of news clips and concert footage from the ‘80s,…

By Andrew Pelechaty SUPER MARIO GALAXY The new Super Mario movie (The Super Mario Galaxy Movie) continues the rise of video game movies: with the MCU experiencing a post-Infinity War/Endgame backlash, DC starting from scratch, and general superhero fatigue, video game movies have become the latest popcorn blockbusters. While Galaxy’s plot isn’t ground-breaking (though, like any good sequel, it…

On Saturday morning, I went out to mow the lawns since a literal forest was growing in the front and back yards. Just before I started the mower, I was looking through Spotify to pick a podcast to listen to. I decided to change it up from what I had been listening to lately and went back to a podcast I hadn’t listened to for a while. I remember when The Ringer launched 60 Songs That Explain the…

Spotify recently announced layoffs in its podcast group, resulting in staff being let go from The Ringer and Spotify Studios. According to both Variety and Awful Announcing, 15 staff members have been affected, with The Ringer’s staff writer Miles Surrey and Special Projects Lead Andrew Gruttadaro both taking to Twitter and X to announce their departures from the company. Well, sadly it looks…

I had planned to write something on this, but after what happened to Bulldogs coach, Cameron Ciraldo, this is as timely as ever. During his side’s match against the Raiders on Thursday night, Mr Ciraldo tried to open the window in the coaches’ box as it was fogging up. As the Bulldogs coach opened the window, the glass shattered and cut his hand, requiring stitches. View this post on…

It’s funny, I never thought that as I got older, I would still have heroes. As I try to make a name for myself as a writer, I admire a few wordsmiths, including Shea Serrano. Shea is a New York Times best-selling author and has written about hip-hop and pop culture for years. He has written for the Houston Press, Grantland, and The Ringer and has hosted a number of podcasts. Since leaving The…

Game two of the Las Vegas double header sees the Canterbury Bulldogs taking on the St George Illawarra Dragons. Both teams had very different seasons in 2025, with the Bulldogs making the finals and the Dragons finishing in 15th. Both teams made headlines last season, with Lachlan Galvin’s move to Belmore and its impact on a Bulldogs team that was winning games. The Dragons were scrutinised for…

The wait is over, rugby league fans, as round one kicks off this weekend in Las Vegas. Of course, it is a split round, so the four teams playing in Vegas can get back and avoid jet lag. In the first game, the Newcastle Knights will take on the North Queensland Cowboys. To put it mildly, both teams had seasons they would rather forget in 2025. It was so bad for both teams that the Knights sacked…

Now and then, I like to get real here on my website. This is going to be one of those times. One of my favourite things to do is write. It wasn’t until well after I left school that I realised how much I actually loved it. I was never a great student, and even though I liked writing stories, I didn’t know how to use punctuation properly, my sentence structure was terrible, and my paragraphs were…

At 11 pm on Christmas night, I wasn’t ready to go to sleep, so I aimlessly searched Disney+ for something to watch. What I didn’t know before I started my search was that I would come across one of the most enjoyable shows I’ve seen for a while. Who is Chad Powers?  Penn State University holds what they call walk-on tryouts twice a year, in the spring and the fall. In 2022, former New York Giants…

On August 25, the world went into mourning when R&B singer Aaliyah Haughton, known professionally as Aaliyah, died in a plane crash. The singer was in the Abaco Islands, Bahamas, filming the music video for her new song ‘Rock the Boat.’ Aaliyah got on a plane smaller than the one she and her crew had flown to. The plane was overweight and crashed not long after takeoff, killing the eight people…

I have seen some videos on TikTok and Instagram where a content creator is doing a street talk, and they ask a person to name a cheating song a male artist sang. The videos show that some people seem to struggle to answer. @teachermann91 Name a cheating song by a man 🧐 #foryourpage #foryoupageeee #fyppthisssss #fypppppppppppppp #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp           ♬ original sound –…

In the year 2000, I went to Canberra for my cousin’s 18th birthday. I remember that night well, mainly because I was looking forward to seeing my cousin’s friend, whom I had a massive crush on. But that weekend is also etched into my brain for one reason in particular: I discovered one of my favourite artists, Craig David. I have been wanting to write a piece about Craig David’s first album for…

At the end of October, Paramount Australia announced that the MTV music channels were permanently shutting down. It really wasn’t a surprise, given the fact that you can look up any music video you want on YouTube. At the same time, most of the MTV reality shows are on Paramount+. MTV played a massive role in my pop culture journey, and is a key reason why the 2000s are my favourite decade. Early…

After putting it off for some time, I started a YouTube channel centred around my love of food, as well as my occasional weightlifting (despite my appearance suggesting otherwise). The last month has been tough on Jen and I. I won’t go into too much detail as I lay it all out in the video below: Hopefully you enjoy this video, and if you get the chance, check out my YouTube channel here:…
