That's a wrap on Alien: Earth. What did you think? I think we've been more critical than most (2 eps to go), but the show's debut did mean a perfect backdrop at Comic Con Africa this year for my Vasquez cosplay.

Happy Heritage Day 🇿🇦 P.S. As an Elder Millennial, I did the wors in our airfryer.

Guys, I'll be honest. I miss the good ol' days of Steve Erwin's passing, and how his family promised to continue his positive, world-improving legacy. My feed is a lot right now.

Croft, Drake & Jones, Artifact Relocation Specialists. While you always see plenty of Lara Crofts and a handful of Indiana Joneses at every con, Nathan Drake is a harder find. Which is why we had to get this group shot when an Uncharted cosplayer strolled by at Comic Con Africa this year.

Essential piece of camera equipment for Caturday.

Humblebundle to support World Central Kitchen, and get a bunch of my books from @tordotcom.bsky.social including Murderbot and Witch King! #booksky www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

Is there anyone else with a series they absolutely adore, but always feel like they're the only person in the world who watched it? That's me and Dickinson.

Gallery time! From the casual to Masters-level competitive, here is the cosplay that caught our eye at @ComicConAfrica this year. #comicconafrica2025

Last day best day? One more tease while we work on our annual Cosplay of Comic Con Africa gallery. #ComicConAfrica2025

Good morning!

I had such fun, and felt so powerful, putting together a Vasquez look for the Alien: Earth screening last week that, in a wildly impromptu decision, I'm going to be bringing her to Comic Con Africa. And believe it or not, she may come with other surprises👀

Peak "Are the straights okay?" energy: a couple making out in the middle of a hardware store.

When you're told to dress up for an Alien: Earth event.

July was a lot. So much so that we have yet to celebrate our 8-year anniversary🙈 But there is no partner I'd rather have at my side for *waves hand* everything. Here are a few 2025 selfie highlights (to date).

Finally got to watch Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story in SA via Showmax as of this weekend, and I must have cried 4x

The more I think about it, the more I believe my favourite part of The Fantastic Four: First Steps is Vanessa Kirby. With the writing and her performance, I feel like I finally GET Sue Storm. She's an MVP; not this fragile, fainting thing.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps in a nutshell - it doesn't so much bring the F4 into the MCU as reclaim the characters and their significance after their jokey treatment in the Noughties films. Also, Galactus is PERFECTION (though I still hate him in Marvel Snap).

don't judge me

Proof that Superman (and Supergirl) love goes back a long way.

So we accidentally ended up with two Superman reviews for the site. Here is @pfangirl's opinion on why this lovingly made movie take on the Man of Steel is so welcome. And rooted in the character's Golden Age origins.

Last day or so to experience the Monument Valley games through Netflix Games. You don't get more elegant and hauntingly beautiful than this trilogy.

If you, like me, love the comics of the 70s and 80s (and the movies of the period), there is so much to love in Superman.

Candid shot of our household in the lead-up to Superman's release.

"The Old Guard 2 has stripped out everything that made its predecessor memorable. The edges are gone; Andy’s labris is blunted." Here's our review of this disappointing follow-up to The Old Guard.

That dual shield-wielding fight sequence in Predator: Killer of Killers

Oof, how do you mess up The Old Guard 2 like that? Plot treats audience like that have a 25 IQ. All LGBTness sanitised out. Plus fight choreography apparently filmed at rehearsal half speed.

On a grim day, something less gloomy: Last Friday I finally lost my tattoo virginity. Little Nicholas Scratch here is an icebreaker on the route to bigger plans

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that playing video games on a work night means you'll go to bed much later than planned.

This and TURNING RED are a masterclass in messy animated female characters. They’re allowed to be goblin-y, petty, selfish, loud, make weird goofy faces, do things wrong, and they have baggage and flaws that aren’t just “I’m a manic clumsy optimist, uwu!”

Dudes watching Reacher

We finally watched The Wild Robot tonight and just

Twelve years later, we finally know what Lara Croft was listening to on the Endurance.

Cosplayers take Dress As a Meme day at work seriously. @nukunukudash.bsky.social

KPop Demon Hunters is a high-energy blast.

Probably a weird thing to take home from claustrophobic and relentlessly uncomfortable thriller Speak No Evil (US version), but I just loved this quote: "You can’t let some vision of perfect be the enemy of the good.”

We love a local success story. Like how South African Ferdi Scheepers's love of animation took him from computer science studies and satellite imagery to Pixar! We got to chat to the Effects Artist about his work on Pixar's latest Elio, and much more.

Caturday cuddle pile.

On that note, my latest review is up, and it actually includes a bit of descriptive flair. bsky.app/profile/pfan...

Most days with the site, I feel like I'm flushing words into the Void. So it was a pleasant surprise to be at an event last night, ticking my name off at the entrance, and the assistant was like, "Oh, I love your content."

Yellowjackets: Dredge (I would watch the crap out of this)

Strands #464 reminding me that there is a regime and its supporters who consider these qualities political and/or weakness. Given how ingrained it was in my upbringing, it's probably my greatest shock that people think like this now, and are raising the next generation accordingly

"Also, a contractor in Syria uncovered a surprise beneath the rubble: a Byzantine tomb complex."
