Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (1993)
Maybe she’s born with it; maybe it’s a result of severe genetic modifications. In his novel Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Tom Robbins asks a very simple question: what if someone grows up to be so strikingly attractive and charismatic in demeanour, her only flaw is a pair of enormous thumbs twice as large as…
You’re Missing the Point (1940)
The legacy of Mexican comedy essentially begins with the birth of Cantinflas – not necessarily the actual entry of Mario Moreno into existence, but rather the moment he transitioned into the persona that would serve him well for his entire career. This came in the form of You’re Missing the Point (Spanish: Ahí está el…
The Sheep Detectives (2026)
We all love a good detective story – whether it’s the most harrowing story of cold-blooded murder or the comforting curiosity caused by cosy crime, it’s a genre that has proven to be undeniably very popular with audiences across every generation, which we can see going back to the days of the Penny Dreadful, which…
Everything Is Free (2019)

Coyote vs. Acme (2026)
We all had our own unique childhoods with unique experiences and interests. However, there are certain pieces of media that seem to be almost universally adored, being a vital part of the upbringing of people that span generations and geographical locations. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t familiar with Looney Tunes, which has…
The Strawberry Blonde (1941)
While his contemporary reputation may suggest otherwise, Raoul Walsh was one of our great masters of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Few directors were able to work so consistently across as diverse a range of genres as he did, nor were there many who could manage to attract some of the industry’s finest talents to…
Babes (2024)
The distinction between friends and family is very narrow for some people, with the term “chosen family” becoming increasingly popular as a description for those close, intimate friendships that feel like a genuine, lifelong connection being made between people who are otherwise not related, but still play an important role in the others’ lives. However,…
