Before Sacha Baron Cohen and Marc Wootton created their various satirical characters, and way before Vitalii Sediuk accosted celebrities and famously received a restraining order, there was a much wittier and sharper celeb-harasser named Dennis Pennis. Pennis was a character created by Paul Kaye and Anthony Hines; he […]
Paul Dano is one of the best up-and-coming actors today, in fact he’s arguably one of the best actors of his generation. That’s not to say that Dano has found huge success, in fact these days being underrated unfortunately goes hand in hand with being the most talented […]
People forget how good an actor Danny Glover really is and because his ageing cop character Roger Murtaugh from the “Lethal Weapon” series is so ingrained in people’s minds, most of them neglect his other more weightier roles. Playing a Police Officer is of course one of Glover’s […]
As a multi-instrumentalist, a writer, a composer, a singer, and a dancer, Prince was the ideal specimen for other musicians to emulate. These days when you hear some over-hyped twat claiming they’re the greatest of all time (Kanye ahem… West) their overrated and under-skilled output pales in comparison. […]
Mitch Hedberg was a great stand-up comedian and he possessed an unconventional style that can only be described as Steven Wright channelling Snoop Dogg. Despite his onstage persona being the result of stage fright, his look (which consisted of wearing sunglasses and keeping his head down with his […]
Bill Hicks was without a doubt one of the all-time great stand-up comedians, and although this has become a popular opinion to have since his untimely death, I was one of the people who thought the same way during his lifetime. Posthumously, Hicks is now held in high […]
M.I.A. is a great example of a Pop musician, she makes extremely catchy, easily repeatable, memorable music which although radio friendly is also brimming with a sense of credibility, style, and a hint of subversion. Her musical style perfectly blends Hip-Hop, Dance Music, Dancehall, and Bhangra with avant-garde […]
Eddie Pepitone is a hugely underrated stand-up comedian and it’s strange that this Brooklynite is rarely mentioned when people speak of contemporary stand-up comedy. This is probably because Pepitone isn’t marketed the same way other comedians are and this underexposure is both a gift and a curse. The […]
Sharlto Copley is definitely an underrated Actor. His exaggerated and sometimes caricatured performances (such as Howling Mad Murdock in the A-Team remake) and his involvement in mediocre films (such as the Oldboy remake or Maleficent) are seen by many as either trivial or lowbrow and Copley’s acting […]
Jeffrey Wright is an extremely talented Actor but for some inexplicable reason he’s been relegated to playing innumerable supporting roles rather than being allowed to perform as a leading man. Regardless of his status within the film industry, it has to be said that for the roles he’s […]
Burnistoun was a fantastic sketch show. Centred around a fictional Scottish town, the show was a mix of the weird and the hilarious, if you’ve never seen it I can only describe it as the love-child of Chewin’ The Fat and The League Of Gentlemen. Now that the […]
Richard D. Hall is an Engineer, IT Consultant, and U.F.O. researcher, and his programme “Rich Planet TV” (previously know as “RichPlanet.Net” and “The Rich Planet Starship”) began airing in the UK during the mid-to-late noughties on Edge Media Television and then later on Information TV, Showcase TV, and […]
Warren Zevon was the very definition of an idiosyncratic musician and he was responsible for some of the most distinct and unusual lyrics in the history of Rock music. His use of dark comedy and outlandish storytelling made him a completely original singer-songwriter, and his sometimes surreal and […]
