The trailer for Brand New Day (2026), the fourth Spider-Man movie in the MCU, was released last week, promising the most poignant movie in the quartet. Following the end of No Way Home (2021), Peter Parker is all alone as he tackles not only a new mysterious enemy but also...
Autumn Durald Arkapaw has won the Oscar for best cinematography at the 98th Academy Awards, for her work on Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, becoming the first woman to have received the honour. She is also the first person of African-American descent (Arkapaw is part Filipino and African American Creole) to have...
Ryan Gosling’s latest film Project Hail Mary is set to release this week, to much anticipation from fans and critics alike. So, as viewers flock to the cinemas to see his latest endeavour, it is time we explore: what is it about Gosling that is so appealing? His popularity is...

I found this routine from the Australian comedian incredibly heartwarming, as he combines great punchlines with an even better message about overcoming poor mental health. Good Pill Hunting...

In term-time, Pleasance Courtyard is unassuming. It is reserved for gym goers and University societies, and tends to be a quieter area of campus. However, in August, the space is unrecognisable. Transformed into three bars, with tens of performance spaces in rooms previously reserved for writer’s meetings and dance classes,...
The irony of influencers telling people that suncream causes cancer – when it is quite the opposite – is shocking. One must wonder, how can people ergo suncream to slap natural ingredients on their skin and call it a day? And what’s the politics behind this movement? Multiple news outlets...
