Joke Candidates: Frivolous Distraction or a Celebration of Democracy?
Once the thrill of filming dogs at polling booths has passed, most major broadcasters seek to strike an entirely serious tone when covering the UK’s most important democratic event. Yet avid viewers of the General Election will know that they don’t often get their way. Amidst the palpable tension of count announcements, particularly in seats where major figures find out whether they will be allowed to influence the lives of millions, cameras can’t help but pick up the cheery figures of the natio...

Review: North-East Stars in Gritty Beautiful Thriller
Jackdaw is a menacing thriller which demonstrates the cinematic potential of the North-East, and does not disappoint with high-adrenaline chase scenes.
What will immediately stand out to any viewer is the film’s stunning cinematography; it opens with its protagonist Jack Dawson (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) retrieving a package amongst the off-shore wind turbines that will be instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with the area.

‘Red Mirage’ due to End Any Day Now

‘Taste, colour, sensation, and a world of fruit’
Fruit for Flies is a debut EP that is stunning in its intricate harmonies, evocative lyricism and dreamy soundscapes.
The Army, The Navy are an American duo, Maia Ciambriello and Sasha Goldberg, who have recently begun to garner attention on TikTok and Instagram.
The EP itself is defined by the duo’s singular sound: the two harmonise intricately and intimately with each other, savouring chords which build gently but piercingly to moments of triumphant climax. If the harmonies themselves are no

Comment: In Defence of the Laugh Track
For too long the laugh track has been low-hanging fruit, the easy first joke of an awkward conversation with your housemate’s new significant other, an object of mutual derision that allows a seminar group to become the family it was destined to be. No longer! Someone has to stand up for an institution that has defined some of the greatest (and worst) television of the last century, and that someone is me.

Dreams do Come True Right?!
On a night where The Bear and Succession swept awards, Elton John secured a long sought after EGOT, and overlong speeches were cut short by host Anthony Anderson’s mother instead of the traditional musical interruption, Vision gained access to the ‘Virtual Media Center’ at the 75th Emmys.
Access to the ‘media center’ meant being able to stream the ceremony itself and access to the press-room where winners were interviewed.
