Dear Gossips, A year ago today I was in Seoul with my best friend, Fiona, hiking up to Namsan Tower in the morning, and then drinks in Gangnam later that night. I wish I was there now, because for millions of us around the world, the nucleus of pop culture

Being Beloved Is Buffy’s Curse

Famed screenwriter William Goldman said it best – “Sequels Are Whores’ Movies”. Modernised for today’s world, I guess you could paraphrase it, “Reboots Are Whores’ Series”. Too much? Too strong for this early in the day, or to be associated with the recently-murdered Buffy reboot? Not at all. If anything,

Harry and Meghan’s great timing

When I say great timing, I don’t just mean for them but for the British royal family, because for the last week, every headline about King Charles and the institution has been connected to Just Andrew’s f-ckery, as hard as they’ve tried to provide distractions. Now Prince

Spider-Man’s Hauntingly Lonely Brand New Day

Zendaya’s big week continues with the official trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, though I suppose this is technically a Tom Holland-first thing.
