Crime and Comedy
Two American comedians who examine the horrendous things that sometimes happen when people in small towns snap and commit murder. A hilariously funny show, which is respectful to the victims and their families, while laughing at murderers, incompetent law enforcement, and small town behaviour.
True crime and comedy can go together, and laughter and black humour are a good coping mechanism when dealing with horrific circumstances, and these two walk the tightrope between irreverence and insensitivity very well.

Fun, Romantic and Exciting
This film has a timeless appeal, and is one of my all-time favourites.
It is a story filled with twists and turns, and some moments of real suspense - all interspersed with light humour and romance.
Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn play the main characters in the film, and have a wonderful on-screen chemistry, which makes it all the more enjoyable to watch.
Perhaps the best - and most unexpected - part of the film is its ability to keep you guessing right to the very end.

Jimmie's laugh
If all you're looking for is sports, look elsewhere. The hosts of Crime in Sports are comedians, who take a look at the life of a sportsperson and the noodnickery they perpetrated. They do cover the sports career, but only briefly and as a reference.
If you like true crime, hearing how famous people mess up, riches to rags stories, and amazing things you never knew, definitely listen to this podcast and laugh along. You do not need to like sports.

A darker version of The Craft
For me, this series was a little more mainstream, especially following on from the horrifying second series. It was a little bit of a dated construct - a coven of young witches doing young witch things. Luckily we had the higher level witches fighting against their voodoo counterparts and witch-finders to add some originality to that. There was also a good amount of humour injected through the character interactions and different types of magic.
A good solid series, but not as dark and gruesome as previous series.

Let there be light!
Contains spoilers, click to show
This light hearted comedy follows Bruce Nolan who feels his career as a news reporter is going nowhere, he doesn't get the promotion to anchorman as he believed he would and gets fired causing him to lose control. For this he blames God, who in return contacts bruce and offers him his power's and responsibilities for one week, thinking it's a joke he accepts until reality hits.
Great acting, great casting and plenty of great humour (what do you expect from a jum Carrey movie).

One of the most easy to watch and all out entertaining of Marvel movies. Plenty of action and humour it’s also very accessible as a solo adventure and you don’t need to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Avengers back stories in order to enjoy it. I think Paul Rudd was also a fantastic bit of casting and he’s as well suited to the role as Robert Downey JR was to Tony Stark/Iron Man. Scott Lang is likeable, funny and charismatic company and fast becoming one of my favourite Avengers.
