   Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) Film Review

   I'm pretty much the hardest sell for this movie. I don't like Spider-man as a character, or particularly the films, especially the zany comic stylings and whiny teen angst of the Tom Holland era, I've found all three of his previous movies poor. And once again the Spidey-bros are out in force claiming it to be the Citizen Kane of MCU. So why is it actually great?! And it actually replaces Guardians OTG 3 as the best post Endgame project.

   The Strokes - Reality Awaits (2026) Album Review

   After the amazing best in years come-back that was The New Abnormal, their wildest and most aggravating album yet. Their are many fine, fleet-footed, classic sounding Strokes songs here, that just about rescues things. But it's never dull. The elephant in the room however is the far too liberal use of auto-tune, that completely ruins several tracks and should be shot into the sun. Especially as Casablancas sounds great when it's switched off.

   Phoebe Bridgers - Lost Weekend (2026) Album Review

   Phoebe Bridgers sits at the epicenter of the modern music critics happy place, so it's not surprising to see universal acclaim for what is basically cat nip form them. Lost Weekend is a perfectly fine album but screaming album of the year at it is crazy. It's often too woolly, to samey, too homogenized in mood, tone, instrumentation and the songwriting is occasionally great but often fairly listless and the lyrics often a bit, well, trite and obvious.
