Upon first glance, Someone Great seems like it’s your typical Netflix movie- you’ve not heard anything about it but it’s top of your recommended list so you might throw it on in the background and hey, it has a great cast so why not? But it’s so much more than that. The story of the […]
The Exeposé Roundtable: Ariana Grande – thank u, next
thank u, next coherently details a journey that we, as a society, have been waiting to hear about Bryony Gooch: In 2018 we saw Ariana Grande transition from being a mere pop princess into the world’s favourite heroine. Her personal life constantly in the spotlight more than other stars, we witnessed her almost-marriage to Pete […]
Here’s The Skinny On Detox Teas
Jameela Jamil is leading the charge against so called ‘detox’ and ‘skinny’ teas, now she’s petitioning the UK government to ban the celebrity promotion of them on social media. With the backing of real doctors and studies cited it’s hard to argue that multi millionaire celebrities making a few extra dollars is worth the side […]
Celebrating LGBTQ+ History
HAPPY LGBTQ+ history month! As you may know, this February marks the 14th annual celebration of LGBTQ+ history month in the UK, often referred to as ‘LGBT history month’.

If you haven’t heard, Smear For Smear was a campaign at the end of January this year, aiming to encourage women to go to their smear tests in light of the shocking statistic from charity ‘Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust’ that at least 1/4 of women miss their smear test and at a 21 year low […]

Comeback Queens: Kesha
Kesha may not be your first thought when it comes to comeback artists, especially among the announcements of both the Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys setting off on their reunion tours. But Kesha’s creative comeback, beginning from the release of Warrior in 2012 to Rainbow in 2017, is best read in relation to her personal […]
Hunny, Tea and CG
Since the release of The Jungle Book in 2016, there seems to have been non-stop Walt Disney Studios live-action and CGI remakes, whether that’s with minimal-but-present story modernisation like 2017’s Beauty And The Beast or (going back a few years) a complete rethinking with Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland in 2010. This company-wide move has certainly divided […]
Review: Christopher Robin
When the first trailer was released for Disney’s Christopher Robin it was met with a hesitance and resistance to the sombre tone of a world inhabited by a silly old bear. Suspicions from our first sight of that melancholic colour palette are quickly confirmed upon viewing – Disney’s latest creation is not necessarily a film […]
Moved by #MeToo
It’s impossible to avoid the cultural moment that is the #MeToo movement, although stories breaking have reduced to more weekly than hourly, it is still undeniably present. And rightly so.
