Steve Swift’s Rambling Reviews

In A Violent Nature Revolutionises The Current Horror Genre!

The horror film genre is inventiv3 and successful at the moment. It's also eating itself, with more outlandish hooks. Well, this 2024 movie from Chris Nash uses the slasher horror tropes and, in the way it's made, subverts them. This is an effective, gory slasher, yes, but it has no music, has long scenes where you feel like a gamer and takes the focus to places you wouldn't expect. it's Brilliant...

I Finally Watched Wrestling Movie ’The Iron Claw’ And Didn’t Enjoy It!

And that's probably because the reality for the Von Erich family, the pushing to be the best, the patriarchal feeling, the many deaths, some suicides, just feels too soap opera. The grappling is great, but the direction could have sorted that story out...

MLW Holiday Rush, Wrestling On YouTube For All To See!

I've watched MLW, Major League Wrestling, occasionally recently and that's because when I had access to their weekly Fusion programme, the angles were confusing, overdone and, frankly, poor. The Wrestling was frequently good, sometimes great, though. And this MLW Holiday Rush event is exactly the same, but at least I can zone out the angles...

Does Netflix New Film ’Carry-On’ Fly? Nope...

This airport thriller is hokey, we've heard these 'do as I say it your girlfriend/wife/family pet dies deals over and over again. This has Taron Egerton staring into the middle distance and Jason Bateman terribly miscast as a terrorist mastermind. And plot holes you could fly a Jumbo Jet through...

Memphis Wrestling Milestone 200!

Can it rwally be 200 episodes since Memphis Wrestling came back in the Dustin Starr era? Seems so. And have I seen every episode? Seems so. Blimey. And yet Memphis Wrestling can still surprise and delight me; it does that very thing here. Fantastic wrestlers, fantastic entertainment...

Southern States Wrestling Go Gome Shows x 2!

No one does go how shows for their premium live events like Southern States Wrestling and as Christmas Star Wars approaches, they give us 2 go home shows, one Christmas Day edition too! it really whets the appetite - wish I could see that show, although I fear the Royal Rogue, champ Lord Murphy Costigan will be dethroned...

Electric High Offer A Bucket Full Of Sassy Rock!

I can't remember how I came across them now, but it's explained in the podcast. What I do know is that Electric High, from Norway, produce stupendous rock with a hip shaking Swagger. oh, and I bloody love 'em.

Rich Kid Express Album Keeps It Simple And Excellent!

Yes, this band keep in simple in the Rock, Glam, even Disco Rock stakes, but that makes the Sleaze shine through. Great work, easy to enjoy, in a difficult world...

EPW Queen Of The Ring! A Wrestling Delight!

A nice crown on offer, plus a No1 contendership too, this EPW grappling gauntlet allowed for one thing, Nyxx v Diana Taylor again, which is ni problem at all, even a cage match can't douse this one. well done, EPW...

Coastal Championship Wrestling Keeps The High Quality Up!

How do they do it? sounds so easy, just stage excellent Wrestling matches week after week. But it's so tough to do and this promotion, CCW, does it week in and week out.
2 great matches, the 2nd a brilliant example of Wrestling entertainment. Have a listen and then go and find it...
