Some movie parts are so iconic, that you struggle to imagine anyone else in the lead role. Think about it: what would Taxi Driver look like without Robert De Niro? Or The Terminator without Arnold Schwarzenegger? They'd be a pale imitation of themselves. But the fact is that casting directors…

We all got used to having a new season of Game of Thrones every year. After a few months of watching our favourite characters suffer and die, we spent the rest of the year recovering from the trauma. It was a good system, until they decided to drop the next…

In between crimping tools, butterfly clips and all the sartorial mistakes, the 00's were a special time for pop culture. There was Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen - and their European adventures that we vicariously lived through - and then the rom-coms, which were arguably the best of the genre. I…

We've all heard of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. I hope. When you think of Gordon Ramsay and his enduring schtick of yelling expletive-laden diatribes at people who have temerity to cook a steak slightly wrong, you're either thinking of Hell's Kitchen, or you're picturing Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. It was an extremely popular…

Jackie Chan is one of the hardest working people in the film industry. Even when you put aside the physical effort he's put in over the years through intricately-choreographed martial arts scenes, or the many many injuries he's sustained well into his 60s, he's also logged a huge number of…

George R.R. Martin started writing his epic dragons-and-boobs fantasy series, A Song Of Ice and Fire, in the 90's - yes, the 90's. The first book, A Game of Thrones, was published in 1996. The fifth book, A Dance With Dragons, was published in 2011 - seven years ago! The…

Someone recently asked me at a party if I'd ever watched a television show that had actually changed my life. My answer was short and shrift - Queer Eye. Never before have I seen a show that made me think, "damn Lewis you need to get a new wardrobe". Within…

Homer Simpson, despite being a cartoon character, has one of the most instantly recognisable faces in the world. You'd be hard pushed to find someone who, when presented with a picture of the titular character, was unable to put a name to the face. Indeed, it is a face that…
