Voicebox: Throwback Thursday

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie provided a gripping fictionalized account of the Biafran war in her novel Half of a Yellow Sun, one that introduced many to a pivotal moment in modern African history. 

As the leaves yellow and October nears, join Voice in reminiscing about 2014’s Over the Garden Wall, an animated miniseries that is well and truly made for this time of year. 

Humanz is the fifth album by the animated Damon Albarn-led band Gorillaz, written in part as a response to Brexit and Trumpism.

A charming but melancholy MetroidVania set in a decaying kingdom, Hollow Knight more than lives up to its status as one of the most well-regarded indie games of all time

A favourite for children’s TV, Power Rangers has been a familiar presence on our screens since the early 1990s. In this Voice Retrospects, I take a look back at a franchise that proved to be particularly influential for me during my childhood!

Musician Ne-Yo’s career has quietened down in recent years, but he remains a staple of 2000s R&B and pop. 

An iconic video game of the PlayStation 2 era, Tony Hawk’s Underground successfully switched up the Tony Hawk’s series format and introduced the wonders of skateboarding to a new generation of gamers.

Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and packed with numerous cameos, Last Action Hero is a metanarrative title that has fun with the idea of its fictionality and the absurdity of the action genre and deserves watching!

This comedy-drama is one of E4’s best ever TV series.

‘Tactical Espionage Operations’ is what Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain aims to provide – and it does so in spades. In this Voice Retrospects, I take a look back at Hideo Kojima’s final entry into the iconic Metal Gear series!

A masterfully crafted video game with an unforgettable narrative and a remarkable setting, BioShock Infinite is a hugely entertaining experience from start to finish.
