Scrooge, A Christmas Carol, And How Dickens Invented Christmas
—
Christmas is a special time here in RunPee Towers. As well as trying to get the definitive list of Christmas films, non-Christmas Christmas films, and modern takes on an old story, we also have a soft spot for the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol. Fortunately, for people like us who are keen to make lists,…

RunPee Black Panther Hub
—
Black Panther resonated for a number of reasons and the inevitable sequel was eagerly awaited. Then the real world took over with the untimely death of Chadwick Boseman. Speculation was rife as to the direction that would be taken: would the part of T’Challa be recast or would his absence be addressed in some way.…

RunPee Horror Hub
We all like a good scare. Well…we all like a good scare that doesn’t come when you open a letter from the bank or a utilities company. There is a lot of discussion of why we like to be made to feel uncomfortable and I am nowhere near qualified enough to weigh in on any…

RunPee James Bond Hub
Let’s face it, the man’s an icon. Since the mid-fifties, when the original novel was written, James Bond has been the epitome of cool, class, and creepiness, depending on when you want to look at him.

Admittedly, that’s quite a small sample but a quick look around most toy shops suggests to me that they wouldn’t carry so much dino-stuff…

RunPee Star Wars Hub
The 45th anniversary of the first film in the Star Wars franchise is rapidly approaching. It would have been nice to say that the premiere was on May 4th but, back then, no one knew that they had such a phenomenon on their hands. As a result the US release date sits three weeks after…

RunPee British Biography Hub
—
With a lot of encouragement and advice from RunPee C.O.O. Jill I’ve been doing occasional biographical articles about British talent and what they bring to the big — nay — huge blockbuster franchises. It’s one of those mysteries lost in the depths of time…how did this actually start? My recollection is that I saw somewhere…
