The Joker and Batman have always enjoyed a complicated relationship, and Gotham highlighted that by making each iconic figure responsible for the existence of the other. Throughout various interpretations of the Batman story, the Caped Crusader and Clown Prince of Crime are presented as fated adversaries, two polar opposites destined to do battle until the end of time. However, some adaptations take that concept even further and instead of simply making the Joker and Batman’s sworn nemeses, both characters are shown to be psychologically dependent on each other....

While most horror films these days pile on the jump-scares or attempt to provide more cerebral terrors, few borrow elements from fairytales, where much horror has been found for hundreds of years. As cautionary fables, fairytales from all over the world, particularly in Europe, have been dark stories designed to instruct children not to stray from paths, not to venture out alone at night, and not to talk to strangers....

I’ve tried a couple of Grovemade products before, and they tend to have three things in common: they use natural materials like wood and leather; they are beautiful; and they are expensive. The Grovemade MagSafe Stand ticks all three boxes – though the ‘expensive’ element is partly Apple’s fault this time. I’ve said in the past that I prefer charging stands to charging pads. Whether it’s on my desk, beside the sofa or beside the bed, it makes more sense for me to have my phone upright, where I can see the screen, rather than flat on the surface, where I can’t....

While George A. Romero would become a legend for directing zombie classics, he got his career started on the set of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Although Romero passed away in 2017 at the age of 77, his influence on the horror genre and the art of independent filmmaking as a whole will continue to be felt for generations to come. With 1968’s Night of the Living Dead, Romero essentially invented the zombie genre as we know it today, and established tropes that are still in use by current zombie success stories like The Walking Dead....
