Four more tōtaras have fallen
I have mentioned this before, but today’s blog reflects a sad reality that seems to occur more frequently on this account. This, of course, is part of the human experience. I am also aware that terrible things have happened, are happening, and will continue to happen in the world to many people. Some can be…
2026 FIFA World Cup: Fanatical football frenzy
World Cup tournaments are outrageous and insane, and there’s always one on the horizon, regardless of the sport. As keen supporters of my idiotic account would know, my love for rugby and the Rugby World Cup is legendary. However, that blog post is for next year, so instead, I’ll go on to discuss another World…
Movie Review: Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu
The challenge I laid down for myself last week was indeed achieved by me. What a result! Go me! And what challenge, dear reader, am I talking about? Yes, I braved the early wintery conditions and went to the cinema to see the latest Disney Star Wars entry, The Mandalorian and Grogu. As always with…
Movie Preview: Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu
Wow, the last time I did a movie preview was back in July 2025 with The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and as I mentioned last week, we have plans to cover movie previews/reviews for Supergirl, The Odyssey, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day as well. The staff will be working overtime. However, before these three movies have been…
Tour of the Solar System: The Moons of Pluto
I was thinking the other day about things that seem to drag on: The Fast and the Furious franchise, election cycles, accident and emergency wait lists, time between Saga issues, and Some Geek Told Me’s Tour of the Solar System. It’s still chugging along, like the little engine that has no right to exist. Roughly…
New Zealand Music Month
We are deep in Autumn, with Winter trying to show its ugly face now and then. This means the calendar is getting a great workout. Free Comic Book Day, Star Wars Day, Sir David Attenborough’s birthday, the FA Cup Final, the Champions League Final, Spider-Noir, and Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu are all in…
Happy 100th Birthday to Sir David Attenborough
Welcome to this brief and special blog post! It’s a Friday, which is quite uncommon for me to post on, but today is a celebration of the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough. In my opinion, he is one of the greatest science communicators of all time. Since 1954, this broadcaster has brought fantastic content…
Happy Star Wars Day 2026!
I find your lack of celebrating Star Wars disturbing. I’m kidding, but today is the best day to celebrate Star Wars, because it’s 4th May, or for my North American friends, May 4th, Star Wars Day! Once more, we can revel in the adventures of our favourite characters, set a long time ago, in a…
Happy Free Comic Book Day/Comics Giveaway Day 2026!
Welcome, welcome, welcome to arguably the apex event on a geek’s calendar. Yes, it’s Free Comic Book Day, but also the very first edition of Comics Giveaway Day as well. If you’re scratching your head over what that means, then your friendly neighbourhood geek is here to explain it! To understand the unique position we…
My wife’s reading habits are changing, and it’s becoming hilarious
This title sounds awful, but I have my wife’s permission to write about this. To take a step back, I have written several blog posts about my wife, particularly on the topic of reading, so the idea of me doing this is not new. See here for a reference. For a condensed version, my wife…
