US pop culture has smothered the world for decades. As a very young child, I learned so much about the US from TV. Cartoons, The Monkees and various cop shows. Sadly it is not a two way street. I often find people from the US very parochial when it comes to culture outside of their own.

Currently playing through the Hellraiser: Revival demo. So far it hasn't held back on the tropes we've seen in the first two films of the franchise. Great atmosphere and a nasty aeasthetic. Not for the feint hearted.
