If you’ve poked around this site at all, or if you’ve accidentally clicked that link up there titled ‘Powers Cosmic,’ you’ll probably still be in therapy over your inability to come to terms with the time you lost watching the animated series that I wrote, animated, and voiced (along with some mates) over the last [...]
Sharing the house with a 4 and a half year old means that you hear about ‘Trying new things’ a lot. Whatever those ‘new things’ are — be it a new vegetable, a new pair of shoes, a new TV show or movie — there’s also a very good chance that you’re going to hear [...]
This week features Remote Viewings first full house as Elroy, Fiona and Matt are joined by Zak to discuss the Melbourne International Film Festival line up – of which Zak went to inhuman lengths to see most of.
