COMPETITION: Win The Brokenwood Mysteries Series 11 on DVD

Return to Brokenwood with Neill Rea and Fern Sutherland for the 11th instalment of The Brokenwood Mysteries, New Zealand’s deadliest drama where menacing murders, mysteries and intrigue lurk around every corner.

 

Acorn Media International is delighted to announce The Brokenwood Mysteries Series 11 is set for its DVD and digital release on 6 October

And to celebrate we have a copy on DVD to give away!

Synopsis:

Many moons ago, Detective Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea – Go Girls, The Warrior’s Way) arrived in the seemingly tranquil, rustic town of Brokenwood, in his classic car with a country music collection to die for – and never left.  Now, series 11 takes us back to the scenic splendour of small-town life where a web of deception, greed and dark secrets hides in the shadows. 

 

The new series joins Brokenwood’s best and brightest detectives once again as Mike Shepherd (Rea), Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland – The Almighty Johnsons, A Mistake) and Daniel Chalmers (Jarod Rawiri – Boy, Shortland Street) tackle their most perplexing cases yet. Along with eccentric pathologist Gina Kadinksy (Cristina Ionda – Out of Season, Filthy Rich), they use all manner of unconventional methods to solve the town’s most macabre mysteries with warmth, camaraderie and deadpan humour. 

 

The gripping new series cracks open a new casebook of crimes continuing to brand Brokenwood as New Zealand’s most murderous town. From an ’80s rock star with a dead groupie on his conscience, to an explosive school quiz night, with a fatal séance, a killer chandelier and a science teacher’s ziplining misadventure in the mix. Even Santa Claus makes an appearance as oddball Frodo’s (Karl Willetts – The Power of the Dog, Evil Dead) infamous family experiences a lethal case of stolen identity. 

 

Cosy up with The Brokenwood Mysteries this October for another round of curiously heinous crimes, small-town secrets and thrilling twists and turns, it would be a crime to miss it.

Mark Dice on the James Comey Indictment

Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted in September 2025 by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia on two charges: making a false statement to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. The indictment centres on his September 2020 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where prosecutors allege he denied authorising an FBI employee to act as an anonymous source for the media, a claim they say was untrue. The obstruction count relates to the same incident and accuses him of impeding the committee’s investigation. If convicted, the charges carry potential prison sentences of up to five years each under federal law.

Jeff Lane and Vince Russo expose wrestling "journalist" Dave Meltzer, Again!

Dave Meltzer is a wrestling journalist whose obsession with ratings and star rankings often feels like a full-time hobby masquerading as insight. He’s spent decades dissecting every bump and storyline with the intensity of someone who genuinely believes his opinion on fictional fights carries cosmic significance. Fans sometimes joke that Meltzer’s life revolves entirely around spreadsheets and Twitter posts, treating kayfabe like sacred scripture while turning nuance into a numbers game. His writing can come across as pedantic and self-important, as if every review were a life-or-death pronouncement on wrestling history. Some admire his encyclopedic memory, but others see a man trapped in a bubble of his own making, endlessly debating angles most people have long since moved past.

Synopsis:

THE UNDEAD are back, and this time they’re not the only ones raising hell in Manhattan, as The Walking Dead: Dead City returns for a gritty, gore-filled journey into the heart of post-apocalyptic New York with fan favourites Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen, Supernatural, The Boys) as Negan and Lauren Cohan (The Boy, The Vampire Diaries) as Maggie at the helm. The second season plunges us deeper into the twisted relationship between the battle worn pair, as they navigate a city crawling not just with walkers but power-hungry enemies both old and new.  

  

Picking up where the action-packed first season left off, we see our uneasy allies thrown into opposite sides of a brutal turf war that threatens to consume what’s left of civilisation. New alliances are formed and old loyalties are tested as the shadowy New Babylon Federation steps in, bringing with it a whole new set of dangers and political intrigue. With factions at war, vicious new enemies emerging and the walkers more ruthless than ever, Maggie (Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) must decide whether survival means standing together… or apart.  

 

The first season introduces us to a broken Manhattan, overrun with the undead and ruled by chaos. Maggie, now a hardened leader, joins forces with former nemesis Negan to rescue her kidnapped son, Herhsel (Logan Kim – Ghostbusters), from the clutches of the sadistic Croat (Željko Ivanek – Seven Psychopaths, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri). Joined by mysterious newcomer Ginny (Mahina Napoleon – NCIS: Hawai’i) and pursued by merciless marshals, the pair journey through New York’s crumbling skyline where horrors lurk around every corner and not just the flesh-eating kind.  

 

With a gripping narrative, electric performances and jaw-dropping set pieces – and let’s not forget kick-ass zombie action – this is a must-own for any fan of The Walking Dead. For shocking twists, dangerous turns and uneasy alliances step into The Walking Dead: Dead City. The city is more dangerous than ever… return if you dare.

Apple Falls to Third Place as Company Value Plummets

 

Apple, once the world’s most valuable company from 2021 to 2023, has seen a dramatic decline. In 2024, Microsoft overtook Apple for half the year, and now, in 2025, Apple has slipped to third place behind Nvidia and Microsoft.

In just four months, Apple’s market value dropped by 28 per cent, a loss of 1.1 trillion dollars. Analysts point to a combination of overpriced iPhones, stagnant sales, and a perceived lack of innovation that allowed competitors to close the gap. Additionally, Apple’s anticompetitive practices have led to several high-profile lawsuits, further impacting investor confidence.

Industry observers say the company’s focus on profit over product quality has contributed to this downturn. Once seen as untouchable, Apple now faces the challenge of regaining momentum in a fast-moving tech landscape while addressing mounting scrutiny from regulators and customers alike.

Guttfeld goes on epic rant against the "whataboutism" from "The Left" after their brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk

 

Don't play that BULLSHlT with me! We don't care about your 'both sides' argument. That SHIT is DEAD. 'What about this, what about that?' We are not doing that because we SAW IT HAPPEN! We saw a young bright man ASSASSlNATED, and we know who did it! The media is dead to us on this story.

The left is lying about Charlie Kirk’s killer

 

Sky News host Rita Panahi has strongly criticized the political left, accusing them of spreading false information about the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk.

“They’re lying,” Panahi said. “They’ve shared doctored images of the suspect wearing a Trump shirt and attempted to paint him as a MAGA supporter or Republican simply because his family is religious and conservative.”

She added, “This individual is clearly the black sheep of the family. It goes to show that being raised in a conservative, faith-based household doesn’t necessarily protect someone from adopting dangerous ideologies.”

Mark Dice - What Really Happened to Charlie Kirk, the Media’s Shameful Lies, and What’s Next for Us

 

Charlie Kirk was a passionate advocate for conservative values and a dedicated champion of youth engagement in American politics. As the founder of Turning Point USA, he built a movement that reached over 3,500 high schools and college campuses, empowering young people to embrace free-market principles and limited government. His commitment to these ideals resonated with many, and he became a prominent figure in the conservative landscape.

Beyond his activism, Kirk was a devoted family man, married to Erika Frantzve, a former Miss Arizona USA, and together they had two children. His assassination on September 10, 2025, was a tragic loss, but his legacy continues to inspire those who believe in the power of youth to shape the future of the nation.

Mark Dice on the tragic killing of Iryna Zarutska and the media narratives around it.

 

Iryna Zarutska’s story should have been one of survival, not tragedy. At 23, she had fled the war in Ukraine and sought a safer life in Charlotte, North Carolina, only to be brutally killed on a light-rail train in August 2025. CCTV footage shows her quietly scrolling through her phone before she was suddenly attacked by a man later identified as Decarlos Brown Jr, a repeat offender with a long history of violence and untreated mental illness. 

He stabbed her multiple times in the neck and chest, leaving passengers in shock and a community reeling. Her death has sparked outrage well beyond Charlotte, with critics pointing to failures in the justice system and gaps in mental health care that allowed a dangerous man to walk free until it was too late. Now her name has become a painful symbol of both the vulnerability of refugees seeking safety and the consequences of a system that protect violent black criminals, and refuses to put them in jail for their crimes, all in the name of diversity and equity.

Viral Speedo Photo Sparks Debate Over “Double Standard” for Men

 

Tyler Moore, a New York City school teacher and father of three, recently found himself unexpectedly in the spotlight after a viral photo of him wearing a Speedo while holding his daughter in the air made waves online. The moment drew attention from the TODAY Show, where host Jenna Bush Hager paused over the image and commented on “a man thigh.”

Moore, 39, told Inside Edition that he was taken aback by the focus on his legs. He argued that the reaction highlights a clear double standard in society: women can wear similar swimwear without facing the same scrutiny, while men are often mocked. For Moore, the attention wasn’t just humorous—it was revealing.

In response, Moore showed Inside Edition a collection of Speedos he owns, emphasising that his choice of swimwear is normal and entirely unremarkable. He explained that holding his daughter in the air was simply a playful, loving moment, and that the photo was meant to capture fun family interaction rather than spark commentary about his body.

The story has sparked wider discussion about gender expectations, body image, and how society reacts differently to men and women in similar situations. Moore’s perspective adds a personal voice to a conversation that has gone far beyond a single viral snapshot.

Emma Raducanu Pauses Cincinnati Open Match Over Crying Child

During a tense third-round match at the 2025 Cincinnati Open, Emma Raducanu paused play due to a persistent crying child in the stands. At 3-4 down in the final set against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, Raducanu appealed to the chair umpire, stating the child had been crying for about ten minutes. The umpire responded, "It's a child. Do you want me to send the child out of the stadium?" The crowd audibly supported Raducanu, prompting her to raise her racket and smile. Despite the disruption, Raducanu held serve in a lengthy 13-deuce game but ultimately lost the match 7-6(6), 4-6, 7-6(7). The incident sparked widespread discussion about spectator behaviour and player concentration in tennis.

UK’s Growing Internet Censorship Threatens Free Speech

Lately, there’s been a worrying trend in the UK around internet censorship and the suppression of free speech. It feels like the government and big platforms are tightening their grip. The result isn’t just about protecting people from harmful content. It’s starting to look like an outright clampdown on what can be said online.

The problem with this kind of control is how quickly it can slip from reasonable regulation into overreach. When the line between protecting citizens and policing opinions blurs, freedom gets trampled. People are growing increasingly concerned that expressing dissenting views or controversial opinions could lead to being silenced or even punished.

What’s worse is the lack of transparency. Decisions about what gets taken down or flagged often happen behind closed doors with little accountability. This creates an environment where self-censorship takes hold. If you’re unsure whether your words might trigger some digital punishment, you’re less likely to speak out at all.

Free speech isn’t about agreeing with everything that’s said but about having the right to say it. When the internet becomes a place where voices are carefully filtered and controlled, society loses the very foundation of open debate. Right now, it feels like the UK is heading in the wrong direction, and that should worry us all.
