Lets take a quick look at one; Back to the Future’s George McFly. When we first met him he is as low on the socio-sexual totem pole as you can get without shooting up a post office. Awkward, geeky and still being belittled by his high school bully after thirty years. His wife loathes him […]

I read Game of Thrones twenty years ago. Long before there was even a hint of a series. I took a stab at the next book and threw it across the room when I got to the Red Wedding. I was absolutely done with a Song of Ice and Fire from that point on. I […]
