Inevitably, several sequels followed, although ‘sequels’ might be the wrong word to use as one movie was a prequel and some of the other movies were seemingly unrelated.

The show is as much a social commentary of what it was like to be a woman in the 80’s as it is a cutting dark comedy, and there are glimmers of series like GLOW in this too....

Pika, Pika? When I first saw the trailer to Detective Pikachu all those months ago, I couldn’t possibly see how this would work. Growing up I was a huge Pokemon fan, with countless hours playing the Gameboy games, hundreds of trading cards stuffed in my desk drawer and plenty of fan fiction written on scraps of paper. Of course, I’m not alone here and Pokemon was a huge cultural phenomenon when it swept the globe back in the 90’s....
