RunPee Marvel Hub
Ah…Marvel. Say that and everybody, nowadays, thinks of the MCU. However, in the eighty plus years that it has been around it has proven to be a lot more than just that. In 1939 Timely Comics was established. Within a decade that was to become Magazine Management/Atlas Comics. In 1961 it rebranded itself yet again.…

RunPee Guardians Of The Galaxy Hub
—
The latest, and final, episode of the Guardians Of The Galaxy trilogy was released yesterday and I have seen it twice already! I think it is fair to say that I think it is a resurgence for the MCU after a few less than spectacular offerings. Guardians Of The Galaxy was renowned for the humour,…

Christmas Movie Review – Guardians Of The Galaxy: Holiday Special
This may be a bit late. It was released back in November 2022 but, somehow, we never reviewed it! Now, with all the Guardians Of The Galaxy: Vol 3 kerfuffle. I thought I should take another look and write a few words about it. OK, I know it is a Christmas special but May isn’t…

Movie Review – Guardians Of The Galaxy: Volume 3
I’ve said elsewhere that I was a little late coming to the Guardians Of The Galaxy party. At first I wasn’t a fan but when a pre-Avengers: Endgame rewatch required seeing it again I was won over. So when Volume Three was announced I was quite excited. Excited to the point of writing an anticipation…

Movie Review – Ghosted
Apple TV+’s latest offering is, apparently, something of a record breaker. The first two days saw 328,500 people watching Ghosted. Obviously that’s chicken feed compared to something like Avengers: Endgame but in the world of non-theatrical releases it is, apparently, quite a big deal. That’s way more than the first two days of other highly…

Iron Man – 15th Anniversary Rewatch Review
Yet again another reminder that, to quote Andrew Marvell, “But at my back I always hear, Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near”. I was sitting with my grandson, Theo, and he had put on “an old film” which he quite liked. He’s only four and a half so his idea of what is “old” is somewhat…

Superman: The Movie – 45th Anniversary Rewatch
—
Forty five years!!! One of the things about getting older is that there are so many anniversaries that keep popping up. Only last week one of my FaceBook memories was a posting I made about it being the 40th anniversary of the release of Elton John’s Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I remembered that being released!…

Movie Review – Tetris
I have to admit that when I heard that there was a film based on the Tetris game in the pipeline my heart sank just a little. After all, I remember the farce that was Super Mario Bros and Street Fighter. I couldn’t begin to imagine what the narrative would be but I did have…

RunPee MCU TV Hub
—
Nobody doubts the effect that the MCU had on the world of blockbuster films. Especially the superhero/comic book/fantasy sub-genre. What was not quite so expected was the studio’s breakthrough into TV. With the assistance of the newly launched Disney+ service, the MCU had a conduit to the home based, TV watching audience. Well, I say…

What do you need to see before watching Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania? The ever wonderful Jill Florio has put together an article that lays out where you can find any programmes and films that will help to get an understanding of what the Quantum Multiverse is all about; how it works, where it is, what the…
