My 2022!

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

2022 is coming to an end, everyone. Did I enjoy this year? Well, there are times where I think 2022 has been a good year, but there are times where I think it hasn’t been so good. Don’t get me wrong, this year hasn’t been Covid-19 pandemic-heavy as the previous two years – 2020 and 2021 – were. 🙂 Continue reading

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’s blog and I’m Tim Bradley.

Rian Johnson is a film director I didn’t expect to return to again so soon. 😀 Since I checked out and reviewed ‘Knives Out’ in 2021, it’s only fair that I check out and review the sequel to the 2019 film called ‘Glass Onion’. The film stars Daniel Craig back in his role of the master detective Benoit Blanc. Continue reading

For today’s instalment of the 2022-23 ‘Nyssa Challenge’ mini-review season, we’re checking out the six ‘Doctor Who’ annual stories featured in the ‘Time Wake & Other Stories’ audio collection.
